Stratigraphy, geochemistry and reservoir quality of Middle and Upper Devonian shale formations in British Columbia and Alberta

We propose to carry out a integrated stratigraphic, geochemical and petrophysical analysis of Devonian shale formations in northeastern British Columbia (the Horn River shale sequence) and Alberta (Duvernay Formation). The objectives of this research are to develop (1) reservoir models and petrophysical databases of the western Canada Devonian shales and (2) exploration and development models for shale reservoirs that can be applied elsewhere. These formations, with numerous long cores, a dense network of wells with modern well logs suites, and a well-defined basin architecture, provide an outstanding research opportunity.
