Unconventional Shale Plays: Shale Plays Petrophysics
Petrophysical characterization of Shale plays at well-scale is the basic step for resource assessment.
The integrated workflow includes exhaustive core analysis, naming lithofacies identification, geochemical analysis for TOC content, naturally fracture systems description, as well as geomechanical properties for Hydrofracs feasibility.
Core to log calibration allows the identification of shale rock properties at well-scale, in order to extrapolate the analysis to wells lacking core data based on refined stratigraphic correlations.
