ACE FT 8 | Organic-Rich Shales of the Northern Appalachian Basin

Society for Sedimentary Geology (SEPM)

Thursday, 11 June – Sunday, 14 June 2020, 5:00 p.m.–1:00 p.m. | New York

Who Should Attend

Geologists, Engineers, Students

Course Content

Attendees will see cores and outcrops of the organic-rich Utica, Marcellus, Geneseo and other Upper Devonian black shales as we travel from east to west along a basin transect. There will be discussion of the sedimentology, stratigraphy, depositional setting, faults and fractures, geochemistry, reservoir characteristics, and changes in these features as we travel across the northern edge of the basin. All outcrops are compared to wireline logs from nearby wells to link the outcrop to the subsurface. We will also see and discuss formations that occur above, below and in between the black shales to better understand the stratigraphic framework including the spectacular Watkins Glen. The course will help to visualize each of these important reservoirs and to better understand lateral variations across the basin and identify sweetspots.
