Quebec Shale Gas Geology – Multidisciplinary Approach, Methodology and Preliminary Results

Two faults define structural domains with varying geological and “reservoir” characteristics such as thickness and structural complexity; these are the Yamaska Normal Fault to the North and the Logan line, a thrust feature to the south is mapable at surface (Fig.1) . Talisman has a large acreage in the area and focus its attention on the Utica shale which is more laterally uniform, easier to understand and possibly easier to complete (Fig.2) than the Lorraine.
