Geochemistry of Unconventional Petroleum System Analysis: A Case study from the Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma, USA

It is hypothesized that oil and gas migrate in an up-dip direction, but the extent of hydrocarbon migration has not been very well documented in many petroleum basins around the world. This webinar provides some new insights and an overview from US unconventional perspectives through produced oil geochemistry to forecast the extent of self-sourced petroleum, its migration, areal extent, hydrocarbon phase behavior and key reservoir engineering properties evaluations for reservoir geochemistry-based exploration, which leads to proper field development and economic production of oil and gas. Source rock maturity produced oil and gas molecular chemistry, biomarker ratios, and carbon isotopes were analyzed and compared to better understand migration and self-sourcing in the study area (e.g., Woodford Shale in the Anadarko Basin).

The approaches described in this presentation can be utilized to predict, understand, and more accurately classify unconventional reservoirs all over the world.
