The characterization of unconventional reservoirs in the Bowland sequence using onshore 3D seismic data, Cleveland Basin, UK

摘要

The Lambda-Mu-Rho (LMR) approach of characterizing reservoir intervals in seismic data is a useful tool for efficient well placement and completion. The successful exploitation of unconventional hydrocarbons in the UK could play a fundamental role in helping to satisfy the growing energy demand. To achieve this, it has been proved necessary to differentiate the more brittle from ductile rocks to maximize reservoir recovery. Economic gas production in unconventional plays requires hydraulic fracture stimulation.
