... Abstract The aim of the research discussed in this paper is to highlight a previously unrecognized oil family, and source rock, in the Montney Formation. This work will show that topset Montney-reservoired oils, sampled from 22 wellbores near the Alberta-British Columbia border (~56° N), were...

... Abstract This study focuses on the reservoir characterization of four geological formations in Alberta, Canada: the Cadomin Fm., Baldonnel Fm., Montney Fm and Belloy Fm. Among these formations, the Montney Formation is targeted for gas production, while the Cadomin and Baldonnel formations...

... by differences in geothermal gradient and burial history between these sub-basins. Introduction The Montney formation is a mixed siliciclastic-carbonate, shallow marine depositional system that is pervasively saturated with hydrocarbons in the distal, fine-grained, and over-pressured part of the basin...

... Abstract Objectives: Predicting in-situ fluids and production yields is a challenge in the Montney Formation of NE British Columbia but is important for long-term success of any unconventional exploitation strategy. A key objective is to understand how hydrocarbon sourcing and migration...

..., the Montney formation in the province of British Columbia, Canada. In the research demonstrated here, we first built a database containing well completion design parameters and well characteristics (16 features) for 603 horizontal wells in the Montney formation. We then assessed the relationship between...

... of the landing zone of horizontal wells is a key step to a meaningful interpretation and mapping of gas geochemical data. The regional mapping of the dryness of early production gas from the Montney formation clearly delineate thermal maturity windows that are consistent with available carbon isotopic data from...

... Abstract Fluid distribution and fluid-rock interactions within the nano-/macro-porous pore network of tight oil reservoirs will affect both primary and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes. Focusing on selected samples obtained from the liquids-rich reservoirs within the Montney Formation...

... Abstract The Montney formation in British Columbia and Alberta has gained prominence in recent years due to the exploration and production boom which has yielded more than 3.5 billion bcf/d in production output and in excess of 440 TCF of reserves. It is one of the largest unconventional plays...

.... Compositional trends mapped in this study suggest that stratigraphic and structural discontinuities influence fluids distribution in the Montney Formation. Third-order sequence boundaries and internal clinoform architecture, provide the framework controlling facies belts and hydraulic units. Fluids composition...

The parent-child well analysis highlights how operators in the Montney Formation can...

... Abstract The Montney Formation which extends from Alberta to British Columbia is one of the largest unconventional gas resources in North America. Production from the Montney Formation comes primarily from the Upper Montney and Lower Montney Formations which vary both from reservoir quality...
