Workshop on Gas Potential of New Albany Shale Held in Conjunction with the 1995IOGA Meeting in Evansville, Indiana on March 1, 1995. Topical Report

摘要

This workshop is intended to provide an overview of the organic lithofacies,organic carbon content, thermal maturity, and gas potential of the Devonian and Mississippian New Albany Shale in the Illinois Basin. In addition, the reservoir characteristics and completion technology for productive organic-rich Devonian shales in the Michigan and Appalachian Basins are also reviewed. Emphasis is being placed on how proven technologies together with appropriate geologic and geochemical information can be used to explore for gas in the New Albany Shale.
