..., a determination first needs to be made if the play has reached an appropriate level of thermal maturation for the generation of hydrocarbons to have occurred. Once that is established, geologic sweet spots are further delineated through investigation into wellbore deliverability and reservoir storage. Wellbore...

... is predicated on a good understanding of local and regional geological history as well as close examination of the rocks involved from seismic to nano-scale. This study looks at the impact of thermal maturity on the organic and diagenetic mineral fabrics observed in gas shales from different parts of the world...

... was used to measure across a temperature range of 35 to 150°C and a pressure range of 0.6 to 21 MPa. The adsorption was modelled using the Langmuir isotherm, and the diffusion behaviour modelled using the unipore model. The TOC, thermal maturity, mineralogy and pore structure of the shale was characterised...

... such as GR, caliper, thermal maturity and rate-of-penetration were documented for all TDCs in 1,300 Cooper Basin wells. For the hydrocarbons-in-place estimate, the Gidgealpa Group was subdivided into 10 lithostratigraphic zones across the Cooper Basin. The individual TDC parameters in each zone were...
