Abstract

Greater than 33 trillion cubic feet of gas, 68 million barrels of natural gas liquids (NGL), and 192 million barrels of water have been produced from the Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale of the Hamilton Group in the Appalachian Basin. These volumes are from more than 11,700 non-commingled wells. The U.S. Geological Survey assesses mean, technically-recoverable undiscovered continuous (unconventional) resources, and this paper is in support of the current assessment of the Marcellus Shale. Areas of greatest production and future potential for gas and NGL from the Marcellus Shale are within and near the northeast-trending Rome trough in northern West Virginia and southwest and northeast Pennsylvania. Southernmost New York, eastern Ohio, western Virginia, and Maryland also contain petroleum resources and reserves. A confluence of factors enhances gas and NGL reserves and resources in the Marcellus Shale. These include (1) brittleness based on lithofacies composition; (2) thickness and distribution of brittle and organic-rich mudrock; (3) measured thermal maturity of 1% vitrinite reflectance and greater; (4) at least 2 weight percent total organic carbon; (5) dense and complex fracturing and faulting; (6) presence of evaporite beds in the underlying Silurian Salina Group; (7) areas of potential overpressure; (8) current depths of 1,370 m (4,500 ft) and greater; and (9) predominantly horizontal wells with laterals that are oriented to the northwest or southeast, or roughly perpendicular to the direction of maximum horizontal stress, and that cross major fault and fracture sets.

Abstract

Summary Variability of mean EURs within and between unconventional reservoirs is becoming more apparent as thousands of wells are drilled and oil and gas is produced from unconventional low-permeability reservoirs. Production from many of these reservoirs shows that there is spatial heterogeneity of EURs, which is mainly related to geologic characteristics. The more refined view of spatial heterogeneity resulting from many producing wells directly impacts the assessment of unconventional oil and gas resources through the application of more appropriate EUR distributions. The variability presented here suggests that the EURs from any one shale-oil or shale-gas accumulation should not be used as a production analog for potential shale-oil or shale-gas accumulations in frontier areas. Rather, a range of EURs utilizing several analogs is more appropriate. Shale-oil and shale-gas reservoirs were the focus of this paper, but tight-gas reservoirs and coalbed-gas reservoirs exhibit similar variation in EURs.
