oa Multi-Scale Analysis for the Holistic Characterization and Evaluation of Unconventional Shale Plays in a Mexican Jurassic Basin

Given the complexity inherent in unconventional plays the aim of this work is to show the integral methodology to characterize and establish the geological controls of the porous-hydrocarbons system that affect the porosity and permeability to reduce the uncertainty in the exploration from a regional scale to nanoscopic.

The disciplines involved in the Integral Methodology of the Study of Non-Conventional Plays are five: Bioestratigraphy, Stratigraphy, Sedimentology, Seismic-Structural Interpretation, Geochemistry and Petrophysics, all of which allow mapping of play elements to apply cut parameters and perform the overlapping of the same to define and hierarchize the Sweet Spot, in order to reduce uncertainty when planning the exploratory strategy of unconventional wells
