For more than 100 years, shale oil has referred to the product of pyrolysis of oil shale, whereas oil shale refers to organic rich (kerogen) rock that has never reached the oil window.
Surprise! Ordinarily a target for oil production, the Cretaceous Niobrara formation is proving to be more versatile in Colorado’s Piceance Basin.
When the appellation was declared by Tulsa, it was a boomtown in Indian Territory fast growing into a city with an entrepreneurial excitement fueled by some massive oil fields nearby. And the title was up for grabs.
In North America onshore, the resource play has caused a dramatic shift in the exploration objectives of many, if not most, independent and major petroleum companies.
Shale List Grows: Production from unconventional reservoirs, particularly shale, has been a boon to U.S. domestic natural gas stockpiles.
All for one and one for all: It took a team effort to find exploration success in theWolfcamp Shale.
The third dimension: Continued improvements in new technologies such as 3-D seismic are helping some companies deal with the cost of successful shale exploration.
Lee Allison, the state geologist and director of the Arizona Geological Survey, knows a lot about the coming need for strategic investment in data integration – and about how to succeed in today's political climate.
The name game: Unraveling the geologic complexities of the Granite Wash is tough enough, but one team of geologists went one better – they unraveled the mystery of the clashing nomenclatures.
