Lithofacies Determination in the Willesden Green and South Pembina Duvernay Formation: Creation, Characterization, and Correlation
… in the Southern West Shale Basin of the Duvernay Formation that characterize variation at core and thin section scales, correlate with conventional well logs and can be further related to geochemical data, elastic properties, elastic property-based brittleness indices, mineralogical …

Identification of a thermal maturation high, revised maturity map, and production trends of the Late Devonian Duvernay Formation, Alberta, Canada.
The Late Devonian Duvernay Formation in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin is a prolific shale reservoir that has been developed since 2010 and produced 250 million barrels of oil equivalent. Regional thermal maturity trends across central and southern Alberta published in the literature are …

Hydraulic-fracturing induced seismicity in Alberta, Canada: Analysis and interpretation using dense local arrays
… to trigger induced seismicity in some areas. The Duvernay Formation in Alberta is a target of hydraulic fracturing and has experienced induced earthquakes up to magnitude 4.2. To study hydraulic fracturing-induced seismicity in greater detail, a local dense array of sensors was used to collect …

Applying Extended Reach Drilling to Optimize the Net Present Value of the Duvernay Field
… and appraisal of a 2500m long lateral pad in the Duvernay formation. It then describes a 3600m long lateral in the Montney formation, and captures the lessons learnt and how they could be applied to the Duvernay. The final stage of this thesis investigates the technical and design implications for …

New technologies for unconventional reservoir characterization: Seismic inversion, focal-time estimation, and signal processing to improve reservoir imaging
… resource extraction, such as Alberta’s Duvernay play, requires a multifaceted approach to optimize reservoir development and to mitigate geohazards such as induced seismicity. Frequently, hydraulic fracture stimulation programs do not go as planned; fractures occur out of zone, depart …
