... infill wells cause ~1 year impact to parent wells which reduces cash flow over this time; 2) Targeting siltstones in Formation B2 associated with best reservoir quality shows an increase in performance by 15%; 3) Geochemical reservoir characterization and drainage data of Formation B1 informs level...

... quantified with High Resolution GC (HRGC). Integrated together, these observations were used to support a facies-based understanding of fluid distribution and mobility in the subsurface. The Three Forks dolosiltstone, Middle Bakken siltstone, Lodgepole limestone, and organic Bakken shale exhibit different...

... environments show a decrease in grain size and increase in the volume of siliciclastic mudstone, siltstone, and organic material, likely resulting from continued runout and evolution of mixed mineralogy sediment gravity flows. Carbonate rocks most often display greater rebound hardness and calculated...

... Abstract The Lewis Shale is a turbidite system encompassing sandstones, siltstones, and organic-rich shales, deposited during the last Cretaceous seaway transgression. It is informally subdivided into three members; a lower member (characterized by high clay and organic matter content...

... lithofacies, fracture analyses, and geochemical analyses. The bioturbated shale and/or the sandy siltstone can be a potential target zone for the following reasons: the bioturbated shale is characterized by the highest fracture abundances (avg. 4.4 fractures per linear ft), and clay content is 35%, with 50...

... mudstone and siltstone facies and four carbonate facies have been identified over the study area. The range of TOC content for each mudstone-siltstone facies is a unique situation where eight of the mudstone and siltstone facies have both the potential to be organic-rich reservoir quality facies (≤2 wt...
