Resource Play Development Peters & Co. Limited Energy Conference August 17, 2015 Rodney Waller Senior Vice-President September 15, 12015
Understanding Resource Play Development What do we know about resource plays All natural resources are distributed log normally in nature (statistical). Pure deposits are discrete and generally cover a relatively small area. As…
Where is the Core Unfortunately, producers are forced to buy first and then drill to delineate the core. Drilling results are the ultimate determination of where the core resource is located. Is the core commercial Are the…

Rapid Delineation is Making Utica Play Smaller 10
Gas Shales Perhaps the most complex of reservoirs Production can be from Matrix porosity Desorption of absorbed gas Fractures Requires stimulation (permeability creation) to produce at economic levels 11
So, How Do I Evaluate and Understand Shale Gas Reservoirs Comprehensive formation evaluation Thorough geoscience analysis Comprehensive petrophysical analyses Gathering offset and analogous data Application of complex reservoir…

Focused Ion Beam Milled Scanning Electron Microscopy Side cores from the vertical pilot hole well are taken and examined under FIB-SEM microscopes which extensively image each sample. Geologists then quantify the total organic…
Lateral Target Selection Critical to Well Performance 1. Plot lateral position as drilled and assign EUR IP 2. Map permeability by landing zone and compare Selection based on per stage to establish performance metric. EUR/stage…
Well 1 Early Well Non Optimized Landing Target Note high TOC of sample but very small pore size. 18
Well 2 Optimized Landing Target Using FIB/SEM Note greater occurrence of large pores and presence of significant but not dominant TOC. 19
