Multimineral petrophysics of thermally immature Eagle Ford Group and Cretaceous mudstones, U.S. Geological Survey Gulf Coast 1 research wellbore in central Texas
Abstract:Traditional petrophysical methods to evaluate organic richness and mineralogy using gamma ray and resistivity log responses are not diagnostic in source rocks. This study presents a deterministic, non-proprietary method to quantify formation variability in total organic carbon (TOC) and three key mudrock mineralogical components of non-hydrocarbon bearing source rock strata of the Eagle Ford Group by developing a set of log-derived multimineral models calibrated with FTIR core data from the research borehole U… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
