Abstract We report the design, drilling, completion, flow back and production of lacustrine shale oil deposit (LSOD) lateral well in Guangdong block, Kongdian Formation in the Cangdong Sag, China. Lacustrine shale oil from China features higher viscosity and density, low and fast varying GOR...

These reservoirs differ from traditional black shale reservoirs representing quiescent anoxic to euxinic black shale deposition typically formed during...

Introduction Throughout the world there are numerous “unconventional shale reservoirs”, that is, shale formations containing oil and natural gas trapped within tiny pores. These formations are considered the largest natural gas deposits and are being actively...

... Abstract Controls on deposition and reservoir quality of mixed unconventional carbonates and siliciclastics are not adequately understood. This project explores the Wolfcamp ‘A’ (early Leonardian) in Howard County, TX to determine what stratigraphic and sedimentologic controls lead to areas...

... Abstract The geological characteristics of the Wolfcamp D shale (Midland Basin) are unique relative to overlying Wolfcampian and Leonardian basinal deposits. Well log-based intrabasinal correlations to biostratigraphically dated (fusulinids) shelf carbonates suggest that the age of Wolfcamp D...
