Title: Use of geochemistry to improve identification of completion intervals

Abstract

Geochemical analyses of cuttings samples have been performed at the wellsite during the drilling of 15 Devonian shale gas wells. The data were interpreted to provide information on the concentration of free gas and oil, the identification of potential hydrocarbon reservoirs, and the location of relative changes in shale matrix permeability over the entire drilled section.
