Verification and Application of Sequence Stratigraphy to Reservoir Characterization of Horn River Basin, Canada

Shale reservoirs, the most important unconventional resource, are difficult to characterize. formations require detailed interpretation of geological, petrophysical, and geochemical analyses, an integration these disciplines. In terms geological interpretation, commonly used sequence stratigraphy analysis includes a lithofacies analysis. The application shales facilitates ability relate between mineral composition, petrophysical parameters, kerogen contents, which affected by depositional setting. classification is indispensable for reservoir quality prediction. this study, porosity, permeability, TOC content largely depend on lithofacies, their correlation coefficient relatively high. stratigraphic shows that organic carbon usually increases within maximum flooding surfaces decreases stepwise. However, relationship total contents systems tract less direct redox dependent.
