... from the Duvernay Formation in central Alberta that were shut-in versus those that continued to produce uninterrupted throughout the reduced production period. How were forecasted production and EURs impacted? Did the manner in which the wells were completed play a role? This paper investigates...

...-viscous flow, Knudsen diffusion and surface diffusion) within micro/mesopores as a function of entrained hydrocarbon and OM components. A suite of organic-rich shales differing in OM type/content from the Canadian Duvernay Formation are studied for this purpose. Using the extended-slow-heating (ESH...

... Abstract The Upper Devonian Duvernay Formation is a low-permeability unconventional resource play situated in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin of Alberta, Canada. It is developed with horizontal wells and completed using hydraulic fractures that enhance the permeability and increase...

... Abstract The Late Devonian Duvernay Formation is a burgeoning shale reservoir within the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) that accumulated as an organic-rich basinal mudrock concurrent with shallow marine carbonates of the Leduc and Grosmont formations. The WCSB is partitioned...

... arrangements can affect important petrophysical, geochemical and geomechanical properties. Characteristics from the Duvernay Formation in Alberta-Canada and the Woodford Shale in Oklahoma-USA were compared in this study; both units are Late Devonian in age and are organic-rich prolific reservoirs. Lithologies...

... Summary The Devonian Duvernay Formation of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin is a hot topic in the energy sector due to the host of massive reserves in both liquid and gas hydrocarbons. There has been a considerable amount of exploration and active recovery within the formation, however...

... do not adequately describe the variability of the Duvernay Formation stratigraphic units. Alternative indices developed for this study (i.e., plane-strain Young’s modulus and clay-based brittleness index) seem to be able to represent the mechanical behaviour of rock much more precisely.

... Introduction The Devonian Duvernay Formation of Alberta Canada is a proven source rock that is becoming one of the most active liquids-rich shale plays in North America. The prospective trend extends over 400 km from the Kaybob sub basin in the north to the Willesden Green Basin in the south...

... Summary The Late Devonian Duvernay Formation is an overpressured, organic-rich, siliceous mudstone that has the potential to be a world-class unconventional reservoir. It formed during a marine transgression, when deep basinal sediments were deposited over large areas of the Western Canada...
