Abstract:We examine geological and geomechanical properties of the Montney Formation of Western Canada, a reservoir dominated by silt-rich mudstone (siltstone) that hosts one of the largest hydrocarbon resources in Western Canada. Geomechanical properties are critical to assessment and exploitation of this reservoir, affecting both the development of natural fractures and the formation’s response to hydraulic stimulation. We evaluate relationships between rock composition (mineralogy and organic matter), lithology and … Show more
