Presentation Transcript

  1. GEOLOGICAL SYNTHESIS OF THE PALEOZOIC OF THE PERMIAN BASIN (PBGSP) • CARBONIFEROUS GAS SHALE RESOURCES IN TEXAS (CGSR) NEW REGIONAL RESERVOIR PLAY CHARACTERIZATION PROGRAMS IN TEXAS & NEW MEXICO at the Bureau of Economic Geology Principal Investigators: Stephen C. Ruppel & Robert G. Loucks

  2. GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE Permian Basin study area Barnett shale study area

  3. PROGRAM GOALS • Produce a detailed, comprehensive history of Paleozoic depositional and reservoir systems in the Permian Basin • Create spatially integrated data bases of depositional, stratigraphic, lithologic, and petrophysical properties

  4. TARGET RESOURCES • Development Target: : 23 billion barrels of mobile oil remaining in existing reservoirs • Exploration Target: 3.5 billion barrels of undiscovered oil and NGL resources

  5. VALUE • Provide fundamental stratigraphic and reservoir-specific data in a readilyaccessible and useable format. • Integrated data will decrease the risk and increase the efficiency of exploitation • Integrated data will define newopportunities for drilling. • Integrated data will form the basis for newengineering approaches and completion practices

  6. SOURCE DATA • Reservoir studies • Cores • Wireline logs • 3D & 2D seismic • Outcrop studies • Published reports • Company data • NEW STUDIES

  7. DELIVERABLES • Text: Written synthesis of history, stratigraphy, facies, structural history, and reservoir development in Permian Basin. • Data: ARC/INFO GIS-based regional structure maps, facies maps, cross sections, core descriptions and data, outcrop descriptions and sections, core data, reservoir data, production data, publications, etc for each play.

  8. TEXT • First-year report on depositional history and stratigraphy of the Cambrian-Permian • Incremental play reports as completed.

  9. DELIVERABLE DATA PBGSP Barnett/Woodford • Geothermal gradient maps • Organic geochemistry data • Fracture data • Biostratigraphic data • Production data • Rock mechanics data • Regional structure and facies maps • Regional cross sections • Core descriptions and data • Core photographs • Reservoir cross sections • Reservoir models • Outcrop models • Depositional facies models • Seismic models • Production data • Publications
