... sweet spots of greatest thickness and SMS prevalence are in the middle pair of major units and located near a northeast-southwest trend of thick SMS deposition situated medially. The distribution of those sweet spots is predictable by mapping paleotopographic funneling mechanisms, and understanding how...

.... The primary target zone in the Utica includes Utica, Point Pleasant, and Trenton intervals. In the present study, we attempt to identify the sweet-spots within the Point-Pleasant interval using 3D seismic data, available well data, and other relevant data. This has been done by way of organic richness...

... to sweet spots, containment, heterogeneity and pay thickness. The resulting subsurface maps are good indicators of the most likely areas for a two-layer development. Next, we will execute an instrumented multi-well pad, designed to assess production interference between both targets. This pad...

..., the combined geomechanical and earth model analysis workflow is important to better understand shale reservoirs and adapt stimulation treatments according to local stress conditions related to the reservoir geology and geomechanics sweet spots. Thus, the integrated shale QI and geomechanical analysis can...

... with SEM. Fracture-pore, intergranular and dissolution pore and intercrystalline pore dominate the nanoscale pores and usually have a diameter of 100-750 nm. "Sweet spots", defined as the tight oil reservoirs interval with porosity of more than 6%, are the main pay zones and key points of exploration...

... Summary Lucaogou formation in Jimusar sag consists of shale, argillaceous sandstone, sandstone, dolomite and dolomitic mudstone of lake-delta facies. It can be divided into two pay zones: "upper sweet spot" and "lower sweet spot". Several wells were drilled into the formation and encountered...

.... The calculated seismic net pay agreed with the well log data. Like petrophysical analysis, the seismic net pay also formed a strong correlation with the production volume and has been used to identify sweet spots for future wells in the Eagle Ford shale. Reservoir Characterization impedance seismic...

It was deposited synchronously with reefal buildups of the Leduc Formation, which formed barriers to ocean circulation and promoted the anoxic conditions suitable for organic matter preservation. Improved delineation of sweet spots in the exploration phase requires predictions...

... offshore areas. "Sweet spots" were defined as fault blocks that contain both TOC-rich Furongian Alum Shale and thick Silurian strata, indicating minor Late Paleozoic uplift and erosion and thus higher probability of gas retention, which is the main technical risk to the play.

... Summary The rapid pace of capital investment in the Haynesville Shale in North Louisiana and Texas from delineation in 2008 to full-field development in 2010 has focused the need to develop a work flow which leads to identifying " sweet spots" of production to optimize the return on capital...

... Summary The Niobrara is characterized by sweet spots that are isolated and small in size compared to the expansive area of the play. A new approach developed in the mineral industry that considers Niobrara sea floor chemistry and the effects of underlying basement lithology and fault...

...) geostatistical representation of shale quality (i.e., sweet spot identification). The analysis applies data collected from a 36-mile2 (92-km2) unit of a maturing play to quantify key properties using detailed logging and core analysis from 16 wells penetrating the shale.
