Oil shale development from the perspective of netl s Unconventional Oil Resource repository
International Conference on Multimedia Information Networking and Security, 2007Co-Authors: M W Smith, L J Shadle, D HillAbstract:The history of Oil shale development was examined by gathering relevant research literature for an Unconventional Oil Resource Repository. This repository contains over 17,000 entries from over 1,000 different sources. The development of Oil shale has been hindered by a number of factors. These technical, political, and economic factors have brought about R&D boom-bust cycles. It is not surprising that these cycles are strongly correlated to market crude Oil prices. However, it may be possible to influence some of the other factors through a sustained, yet measured, approach to R&D in both the public and private sectors.

Advanced Reservoir Characterization in Unconventional Oil Sand Resources
73rd EAGE Conference and Exhibition incorporating SPE EUROPEC 2011, 2011Co-Authors: E. H. Hoogerduijn Strating, D. Gardner, M. Boyles, C. O‘byrne, M. Picha, F. Van Beek, B. LamondAbstract:A positive correlation between Oil Resource richness (expressed as So*Phi*Hn/Ht) and cumulative Oil-to-steam ratio is a good first order indication for Unconventional Oil Resource attractiveness. However, when such heavy Oil reservoirs are subjected to thermal development, it often turns out that very subtle reservoir heterogeneities can have a significant impact on the actual fluid displacement and sweep efficiency. In addition to regular reservoir characterisation and static modelling workflows, several heavy Oil sand specific modifications have been developed and used in the Lower Cretaceous Manville Group in Alberta, Canada. The presentation will focus on four in some detail: - Core based image analysis to identify and characterise steam hold up zones that are below log resolution. - Use of present day analogues to improve understanding of internal reservoir architecture and sensitivity to well density - Seismo- and sequence stratigraphy to identify internal reservoir architecture and carbonate cemented sandstone beds - Up-scaling of steam hold-up zones to derive appropriate Kv/Kh properties. High resolution and integrated reservoir characterisation is essential for identifying key subsurface risks. These advanced characterisation techniques ensure that the dynamic simulations employ appropriate up-scaled reservoir properties and that the key subsurface sensitivities are adequately reflected in field development planning.
