NMR QUANTIFICATION OF THE GAS RESOURCE IN SHALE GAS RESERVOIRS

摘要

The present invention provides analytical techniques for determining the quantity of natural gas within tight, very low porosity formations. The method of the present invention uses NMR logging data and compares the logged data to laboratory developed data based on core samples from the formation or core samples from a similar formation. Additionally, the present invention provides the ability to determine the amount of gas contained within the organic and inorganic pores within the formation.
