SEMINAR OUTLINE: ANALYZING
UNCONVENTIONAL RESERVOIRS
"50 Years Of Continuous Petrophysical
Experience, At Your Service"

COURSE
SUMMARY
This semi-quantitative course covers visual and numerical log
analysis methods for 11 different topics related to
unconventional reservoir evaluation. Total organic carbon (TOC),
coal properties, sorption curves,
coal bed methane (CBM), shale gas / tight gas, and gas in place
(OGIP) are discussed. We also cover oil shales, tar sands, laminated sands, tight
oil (siltstone), gas hydrates, igneous and metamorphic reservoirs, with a side track into the
potash beds of Saskatchewan and New Mexico. A case specific
petrophysical model for each unconventional reservoir is
provided, including a CD with spreadsheet models for most
calculations.
