NEW REGIONAL RESERVOIR PLAY CHARACTERIZATION PROGRAMS
IN TEXAS & NEW MEXICO
at the Bureau of Economic Geology
•
GEOLOGICAL SYNTHESIS OF THE PALEOZOIC OF THE
PERMIAN BASIN (PBGSP)
•
CARBONIFEROUS GAS SHALE RESOURCES IN TEXAS
(CGSR)
Principal Investigators: Stephen C. Ruppel & Robert G. Loucks
GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE
Permian Basin study area
Barnett shale study area
PROGRAM GOALS
• Produce a detailed, comprehensive history of
Paleozoic depositional and reservoir systems in
the Permian Basin
• Create spatially integrated data bases of
depositional, stratigraphic, lithologic, and
petrophysical properties
TARGET RESOURCES
• Development Target: : 23 billion barrels of mobile
oil remaining in existing reservoirs
• Exploration Target: 3.5 billion barrels of
undiscovered oil and NGL resources
VALUE
• Provide fundamental stratigraphic and reservoirspecific data in a readily accessible and useable
format.
• Integrated data will decrease the risk and
increase the efficiency of exploitation
• Integrated data will define new opportunities for
drilling.
• Integrated data will form the basis for new
engineering approaches and completion
practices
SOURCE DATA
• Reservoir studies
• Cores
• Wireline logs
• 3D & 2D seismic
• Outcrop studies
• Published reports
• Company data
• NEW STUDIES
DELIVERABLES
• Text: Written synthesis of history, stratigraphy,
facies, structural history, and reservoir
development in Permian Basin.
• Data: ARC/INFO GIS-based regional structure
maps, facies maps, cross sections, core
descriptions and data, outcrop descriptions and
sections, core data, reservoir data, production
data, publications, etc for each play.
TEXT
• First-year report on depositional history and
stratigraphy of the Cambrian-Permian
• Incremental play reports as completed.
