SHALE HETEROGENEITY AND THE QUEST FOR FUNCTIONAL RESERVOIR CHARACTERISATION METHODOLOGIES

Session Chairperson: Steve Larter, University of Calgary; Ray Mireault, Fekete Associates;
Andrew Vogan, ConocoPhillips Canada

Shales are a very heterogeneous lithology group and current methods of reservoir characterisation, usually derived from traditional conventional reservoir practices, are often ineffective. This session looks at some attempts to improve on this situation.
