Event Description

New Perspectives on Shales Workshop and Field Trip
Sponsored by Oklahoma Geological Survey University of Oklahoma Mewbourne School of Petroleum & Geologic Engineering
Moore Norman Technology Center

Norman, Oklahoma

Accelerating exploitation activities in both domestic and international shales are generating new data and new questions. Cumulative learning from multiple shale plays can improve our understanding of a particular shale, leading to new models for gas storage and transport, new procedures for core analysis, new stimulation approaches, and new production strategies. New imaging technologies that reveal and quantify details of shale microstructure have been corroborated by mercury capillary pressure measurements and NMR spectroscopy. Shale mineralogy plays a critical role in defining more prospective reservoir elements and stimulation placement.

This workshop, to be held on Wednesday, July 28, will focus on how these new developments constrain transport models, gas-in-place calculations, and the role of organics. The goal is to stress the differences between and similarities among shales by comparing data and experiences from various plays; in particular, the Marcellus, Bakken, Haynesville, Barnett, Woodford, Eagle Ford, and Fayetteville.

A one-day field trip also will be offered on Thursday, July 29. Participants will visit three extended stops in the western Arbuckle Mountains and eastern Criner Hills.
