Stratigraphic subdivisions and sequences established for the Lower Triassic Montney
Formation based on extensive core control in west-central Alberta have been extended to …

The petrographic study of organic matter (OM) in fine-grained, shale and tight rocks can be
complicated by ambiguities in distinguishing primary kerogen (deposited OM) from …

The main controls on petroleum accumulations in sedimentary basins include source-rock
distribution, thermal maturity, migration pathways, and structural and stratigraphic traps …

Fracture interference has been frequently observed between the parent wells (ie, the pre-
existing wells) and the child wells (ie, infill wells) in the unconventional tight/shale reservoirs …

The origin, timing, and evolution of hydrocarbons in the early Triassic Montney Formation
siltstone has long been debated and is poorly understood. A proper understanding of the …

In this study, we review the concepts of capillary pressure and total suction. We propose that
for shales and siltstones, capillary pressure (matric suction) is not the only dominant source …

Organic petrography and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images of
drill-core samples from five wells comprising a thermal maturity series through the Montney …

Characterizing the origin of natural fractures in organic-rich fine-grained deposits is key to
constraining permeability evolution in these potential source rocks and tight reservoirs, as …

The detrital grain size of siltstone reservoirs occupies a middle ground between sandstones
and shales, both of which are better understood in terms of their petrophysical properties …

Compound-specific S isotope analysis (CSSIA) of volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSC)
in petroleum gases was applied for the first time to two natural gas samples from the Triassic …
