Piceance Basin Mesaverde anomalous self-potential response: Identification of capillary seals in a basin-centered gas accumulation

Wells in the Piceance Basin show anomalous large-magnitude (up to 200 millivolts), large-interval (greater than 2000 ft (610 m)) self-potential (SP) log responses in the Mesaverde gas producing interval that can be best explained by electrokinetic potential resulting from water flow towards producing Mesaverde wells.

Petroleum Reserves and Resources Forum

As the world heads toward what could be a significant shortfall in energy supply relative to demand, it is more important than ever for our industry to help stakeholders understand the contribution of the hydrocarbon sector in balancing that energy equation. To do that, the industry needs individuals who can find, exploit, and appropriately assess reserves and resources. The AAPG DPA – SPE OGRC Petroleum Reserves and Resources Forum will help decision makers better understand the energy resource picture, and help interpreters and investors make more accurate reserve and resource assessments.
