Key Elements of an Unconventional Play The right rocks porosity and perm Sufficient hydrocarbons in place thickness and TOC Optimal kitchen temperature and pressure Appropriate technology drilling and completions 6
The Right Rocks Central Basin Platform begins to form in early Penn Wolfcamp Paleogeography Restricted circulation deep water basins to east and west Midland Basin fills with Early Permian 280Ma organic rich siliciclastic and…
Midland Basin Type Log Wolfcamp thickness 1500-2000 Multiple flow units A,B,C Reservoir properties generally best in Wolfcamp A and B Wolfcamp Reservoir Property Ranges Porosity 2 9% Clay content 20-35% SW 15-60% TOC (wt%) 1-9%…
Wolfcamp Thickness Entire Wolfcamp thickens from north to south Thickness sweet spot Increased carbonate on eastern and western margins Lower Wolfcamp C expands significantly to the south 9
Wolfcamp Drill Depth Present day axis of the Midland Basin near the Central Basin Horseshoe Atoll Platform Drill Depth Drill depths range from 10,000 Sweet Spot in north to 6,000 in south Glasscock Nose Big Lake Fault…
