Course Description:
This one day course will introduce the fundamental differences between conventional, hybrid and shale gas plays. Source and reservoir rock attributes of shale gas plays will be discussed as well as GIP calculations, water, oil and gas saturations, essential laboratory analysis, and optimum geochemical and mineralogical parameters. Slickwater completion (vertical and horizontal) lessons learned from the US will be detailed. Canadian plays will be Highlighted and discussed.
