Methodology of organic-rich shale lithofacies identification and prediction: A case study from Marcellus Shale in the Appalachian basin
The success of shale gas in North America has attracted increased interest in “unconventional” reservoirs. Two critical factors for shale-gas reservoirs are units amenable to hydrologic fracture stimulation and sufficient natural gas content. The effectiveness of hydrologic fracture stimulation is influenced by rock geomechanical properties, which are related to rock mineralogy. The natural gas...
متن کاملIdentifying organic-rich Marcellus Shale lithofacies by support vector machine classifier in the Appalachian basin
Unconventional shale reservoirs as the result of extremely low matrix permeability, higher potential gas productivity requires not only sufficient gas-in-place, but also a high concentration of brittle minerals (silica and/or carbonate) that is amenable to hydraulic fracturing. Shale lithofacies is primarily defined by mineral composition and organic matter richness, and its representation as a...
متن کاملUnconventional Shale-gas plays and their characterization through 3-D seismic attributes and logs
Unconventional shale-gas plays are formed by fine-grained organic-rich shales of tight-porosity and ultralow permeability which act as the source, seal, and the reservoir rock. The shale-as-reservoir has its beginnings in 1820 but commercial shale-gas wells were drilled in 1990s in Mississippian Barnett Shale of USA by Mitchell Energy after prolonged (about 17 years) experimentations and advanc...
متن کاملPoststack inversion of Seismic data for Total Organic Carbon Estimation using neural network: A case study from the Barnett shale
The main goal of this paper is to use the multilayer perceptron neural network to suggest a 3D cube of the Total Organic Caron (TOC) in the lower Barnett shale gas reservoir. 3D Poststack seismic data recorded near two horizontal wells drilled in the lower Barnett formation are used as an input to train the neural machine, while the calculated acoustic impedance from sonic and density well-logs...
متن کاملHydrocarbon-Rich Groundwater above Shale-Gas Formations: A Karoo Basin Case Study.
Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have enhanced unconventional hydrocarbon recovery but raised environmental concerns related to water quality. Because most basins targeted for shale-gas development in the USA have histories of both active and legacy petroleum extraction, confusion about the hydrogeological context of naturally occurring methane in shallow aquifers overlying shales r...
