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

我们建议对不列颠哥伦比亚省东北部(Horn River页岩层序)和艾伯塔省(Duvernay组)的泥盆纪页岩地层进行地层学、地球化学和岩石物理综合分析。这项研究的目标是开发(1)加拿大西部泥盆纪页岩的储层模型和岩石物理数据库，以及(2)可应用于其他地方的页岩储层勘探和开发模型。这些地层拥有众多的长岩心，密集的井网和现代测井套，以及明确的盆地结构，提供了一个出色的研究机会。

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.
