1 An outcrop analogue for the Williston Basin Bakken hybrid play, the Sappington Formation in southwest Montana: Facies, stratigraphic architecture, and controls on porosity distribution Michael Hofmann Department of Geosciences, The University of Montana AIM GeoAnalytics
2 Acknowledgments Anna Phelps Clayton Schultz
3 Motivation Problem: Variable Bakken well performances in the Williston Basin Objective: Advance understanding of (reservoir) facies distribution and reservoir architecture Advance understanding of controls on postdepositional alterations Source: ND GS

16 Stratigraphic Architecture Implications Modified from Phelps et al., 2017 In gently dipping (< 1 ) clinoforms, a horizontal borehole geosteered (using gamma ray log markers) to stay in zone could actually be climbing down (or up) clinoforms. Stratigraphic dip would be within the margin of error of geosteering systems, making it all-but-impossible to detect, but could result in significant facies changes along clinoform

24 Summary The Sappington as a Bakken Analogue Time equivalent, very similar facies and paragenetic sequence Good analogue to study the interplay between facies, structures, diagenesis and reservoir quality Architecture and Facies Sappington composed of low angle clinoforms prograding basinward (to N) Facies fines basinward and along clinoforms (between geosteering GR markers) Dolomite The coarsest facies display the highest dolomite percentage Dolomite is concentrated on the basinward side of faults Dolomite composition varies temporally and spatially between iron and magnesium rich phases; highest ferroan dolomite concentration in deepest part of basin Porosity Iron rich dolomite more susceptible to dissolution Higher TOC content in the Lower and Upper Members results in formation of higher secondary porosity in the Middle Member
