Methodology of organic-rich shale lithofacies identification and prediction: A case study from Marcellus Shale in the Appalachian basin

Computers and Geosciences, 2012
The success of shale gas in North America has attracted increased interest in ''unconventional'' reservoirs. Two critical factors for shale-gas reservoirs are units amenable to hydrologic fracture stimulation and sufficient natural gas content. The effectiveness of hydrologic fracture stimulation is influenced by rock geomechanical properties, which ...

Identification and Applications of Micro to Macroscale Shale Lithofacies

Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2021
Systematic research and evaluations of shale gas reservoirs are critical in shale gas exploration and development. Previous studies in this field mainly depend on experimental analysis that is often overly simplified. Here, we report an integrated geological and engineering method that combines the lithofacies division system with an identification ...

Effect of Shale Lithofacies on Pore Structure of the Wufeng–Longmaxi Shale in Southeast Chongqing, China

Energy & Fuels, 2018
Total organic carbon (TOC), optical microscopy (OPM), field emission scanning electron mi-croscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nitrogen gas adsorption (N2GA) analyses were performed on shale samples from the Upper Ordovician Wufeng Formation and the Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation (Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation) in order to explore the effect ...

Application of Artificial Intelligence on Black Shale Lithofacies Prediction in Marcellus Shale, Appalachian Basin

Proceedings of the 2nd Unconventional Resources Technology Conference, 2014
Organic-rich shale lithofacies, primarily defined by mineral composition and organic matter richness, reflects the features of the two critical factors for unconventional shale reservoirs. The research of shale lithofacies can aid in identifying shale gas productive zones and designing horizontal well and hydraulic fracturing.

Lithofacies of the Devonian Marcellus Shale In the Eastern Appalachian Basin, U.S.A.

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2015
Abstract:  The Marcellus Shale is an important hydrocarbon source rock and an unconventional reservoir whose origin has engendered much recent debate among geologists. Our analysis of the formation in West Virginia and adjacent States aims to identify and describe the several lithofacies in the eastern Appalachian basin and to ...
