Controls on Unconventional Oil and Gas Production
This scoping task incorporates insights from new approaches to production of unconventional resources and currently focuses on conducting a pilot assessment of biogenic natural gas resources in the Permian Basin. For the pilot assessment to occur, we are developing a database that will host geochemical parameters known to be suggestive of microbial methanogenesis mined to the reservoir level for all gas-producing reservoirs in the Permian Basin. In addition, a methodology determining amounts of thermogenic, biogenic, and mixed-origin natural gas currently stored in or produced from reservoirs will also be drafted.
