Geomechanical characterization of the Montney shale, northwest Alberta and northeast British Columbia, Canada

Abstract: Unconventional reservoirs require hydraulic stimulation to be commercially productive.Recently, distinctions have been made between reservoir quality vs. completion quality (Cipolla et al. 2012), emphasizing the importance of both elements for production.There are many Understanding the geological factors that have the greatest influence on stimulation has proven to be a useful method of predicting productivity and efficiency in shale reservoirs.The results of this geomechanical study are calibrated with diagnostic fracture injection tests, microseismic, spinner gas data, and time-lapse multicomponent seismic to corroborate the predictions of reservoir performance in the Montney Shale.
