METHODS FOR ESTIMATING RESOURCE DENSITY BY INTEGRATING SEISMIC METHODS WITH FLUID DENSITY AND PRESSURE IN SHALE RESOURCE PLAYS

摘要

A method of evaluating a shale source rock formation comprising: determining in situ partial pressures of a light hydrocarbon utilizing a downhole Raman tool and producing a map of spatial and vertical variations of the in situ partial pressures of the light hydrocarbon in the shale source rock formation.
