Drill core shale samples are critical for palaeoenvironmental studies and potential
hydrocarbon reservoirs. They need to be preserved carefully to maximise their retention of …

Tight-oil reservoirs exhibit two characteristic behaviors that limit potential for improved
recovery:(i) limited fluid movement from the unfractured matrix limits the potential to sweep …

Mechanical properties of layered rocks are critical in ensuring wellbore integrity and
predicting natural fracture occurrence for successful reservoir development, particularly in …

The evaluation of the interplay between kerogen maturation and total organic carbon (TOC)
content within an organic-rich shale is critical to characterizing source rock shale's elastic …

Key parameters for evaluating shale reservoirs include total organic carbon (TOC), thermal
maturity, and hardness, the latter influencing fracture development and being crucial for …

Objectives Conventional oil from the prolific carbonate reservoirs of Abu Dhabi has been
produced over half a century from different anticlinal structures. Now, the time is right to go …

In the evaluation of source rocks, the total organic carbon (TOC) is an important indicator to
evaluate the hydrocarbon generation potential of source rocks. At present, the commonly …

This research presents an alternative approach to computing the content of total organic
carbon using wireline logs and machine learning techniques. Specifically, borehole …

It is important to find the quantitative sensitivity between TOC change and seismic and
geomechanical properties for shale reservoir characterization. Although it is commonly …

In preparation for the hydraulic fracturing campaign, the Unconventional Resources Team at
Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has carried out stress measurements both in …
