1 The Mudrock Systems Research Laboratory MSRL A Multi-disciplinary Industrial Consortium Stephen C. Ruppel Principal Investigator Bureau of Economic Geology The Jackson School of Geosciences The University of Texas at Austin Scott Tinker, Director
2 Executive Summary The Bureau of Economic Geology has begun a new industrial consortium in mudrocks (gas shale) characterization and research Research integrates a wide spectrum of disciplines ranging from sedimentology to gas chemistry to fractures to fluid flow. Researchers include geoscientists and engineers from the Bureau and from affiliated organizations The program is funded by member O&G industry sponsors Membership cost is $50,000 per year Member benefits include: Exclusive priority access to data & reports Attendance at annual meetings, short course, & workshops Direct access to program researchers Input on scope and focus of research Start: 2009; Continuing on annual basis
3 Mudrock Systems Research Laboratory (MSRL) Some Key Research Questions What is the size, distribution, and abundance of mudrock pores? What controls hydrocarbon storage and flow? How do mudrock attributes vary in space and time (e.g., texture, fabric, mineralogy, porosity, fractures, mechanical properties)? What effect does variability have on hydrocarbon production? How can variability in rock and fluid properties be defined? How can measurements of complex rock attributes be upscaled to reservoir scales and applied? Which, if any, existing methodologies are applicable to mudrocks?
4 MSRL Goals Develop new paradigms for interpretation and analysis of mudrocks. This will be accomplished through integrated, multidisciplinary analysis of cores, outcrops, and geophysical data from a variety of mudrock systems using observation, analysis, and testing at a range of scales.
5 Research Elements Rock Attributes Facies character and distribution Regional and reservoir-scale architecture Clay and silica diagenesis, compaction and cementation Elemental composition and depositional and diagenetic origins Pore systems: imaging, size, abundance, and distribution Kerogen distribution and thermal maturity Upscaling Wireline log & 3D calibration Rock mechanics: geomechanical properties & their controls Hydrocarbon chemistry: origin, storage, and distribution Fluid flow: modeling of nano-scale permeability and flow Engineering: relating production to rock attributes 3D geophysics: rock attribute identification and mapping
