An integrated approach to unconventional resource play reservoir characterization, Thistleton-1 case study, NW England

In this paper, we present a UK case study and draw on lessons learnt from the American market by using mineralogical and textural data obtained by AM and measured TOC to constrain and improve the accuracy of petrophysical modelling. We characterize a UK unconventional reservoir using integrated AM, TOC and petrophysics to define and quantify favourable and unfavourable zones for further development/production and outline the potential benefits and applications of the workflow.
