..., economics, and field thermal maturity patterns. For single source hydrocarbons, thermal maturity is highly correlated to the thermally evolved fluid chemistry eventually produced at the surface. Production measurements such as gas density, oil density, and gas-oil ratio, directly reflect the evolved...

... Abstract The Denver-Julesburg (Dj) basin has multiple oils and gas producing unconventional reservoirs but the oil-source-reservoir correlation of hydrocarbon from these reservoirs are not well fingerprinted through detailed geochemistry dataset. It is important to determine the origin...

The present study highlights the utility of refining mobility understandings gained from integrated fluid and rock datasets and their relation to reservoir quality. We...

... online. Rock samples were extracted either with methylene chloride or carbon disulfide (CS 2 ) for better preservation of the light end hydrocarbons. Gas samples were analyzed for bulk hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon composition as well as carbon isotopic composition. Total sulfur content, whole oil GC...

... enhances the capabilities of capturing a relaxation signal from hydrocarbons in confined pores. This improves the T 1 and T 2 resolution, necessary for accurately quantifying fluid volumes and determining saturation. In addition a conventional mode was also recorded in order to compare between the two...

... were to quantify fluid saturation variation in the Bakken petroleum system and relate it to rock facies in support of reservoir simulation, oil-in-place estimates, and acreage optimization. Additionally, we compared hydrocarbon extraction techniques to better understand fluid loss from the time core...

... Abstract Fluid determination in in-situ condition is extremely desirable to understand hydrocarbon potential of Jurassic unconventional reservoirs in West Kuwait (WK). Conventional coring methods typically lack the capability to determine in-situ conditions of a reservoir once the core sample...

... Abstract Hydrocarbon shales represent a challenge in both their petrophysical characterization, as well as in determining the feasibility for their economic development. For a correct characterization, it is important to define the intrinsic characteristics of the formation about its potential...

... Abstract One of the greatest challenges facing the development of unconventional shale resource systems by drilling horizontal wells in factory mode is the definition of the optimal spacing between wells and the appropriate stimulation design that allow maximizing the volume of hydrocarbon...
