INTRODUCTION q The recent change in drilling and production q What is Horizontal Fracking ? q What is Hydraulic Fracking ? q What is the estimated resource from the Marcellus Shale? q What is the estimated resource from the Utica Shale? Vertical Fractures Or Pores
SOURCE DATA WORKFLOW EXCEL SPREAD SHEET FILE FORMAT GEOSTATISTICAL ANALYSIS Arc. GIS DESKTOP TEXT & TABLE FILE FORMATS(. csv and. dbs for geometry and attributes respectively) ACCESS My. SQL SERVER PHP XML FILE FORMAT WEB DEVELOPMENT CLIENT
METHODOLOGY q Source Data (EXL Spread Sheet) v MWELLHEADER. xls v v Marcellus_tops. xls Utica_tops. xls q Algorithm v Data Preparation (ACCESS database)
METHODOLOGY Source Data (EXL Spread Sheet) Algorithm q q v Data Preparation (ACCESS database) » Create query 1 from the joined MWELLHEADER table and Marcellus_tops table based on UWI and MTOP values (1795 RETURNS) » Create query 2 from the joined MWELLHEADER table and Marcellus_tops table based on UWI and MBOT values (1753 RETURNS) » Create query 3 that will change query 1 to a table named WELLMTOP » Create query 4 that will change query 2 to a table named WELLMBOT
METHODOLOGY Source Data Algorithm q q v v Data Preparation (ACCESS database) Geoprocessing (Arc. GIS) • Add coordinate data to the WELLMTOP table (x y events) & save as a shapefile • Join the rest of the table to it to include the fields MTOP and MBOT and name the combined shapefile WELLCOMB • Add the fields MTHICK and MDEPTH • Use the field calculator to update the records (e. g MTHICK = [MBOT]-[MTOP] )
Geoprocessing (Arc. GIS) • Do Geostatistical Analysis from Geostatistical Wizard using Kriging method for each fields to create a prediction map layer of polygon shape – right click on the kriging layer – Click data >> export to vector • Confirm that "GA Layer To Contour" dialogue box pops up allowing to make a polygon shape file of filled contours that showed both the prediction map and prediction standard error map for each field • Use Natural Neigbour method for the Utica data – Reclassify raster output – Change raster to polygon
Geoprocessing (Arc. GIS) • Export the shapefiles out to Access database. MWELL. shp UWELL. shp MTHICK. shp MDEPTH. shp MTHICKERR. shp MDEPTHERR. shp Uthick. shp Udepth. shp • The shapfiles are exported out in two forms 1. 2. Text (use export shapefile to csv tool created by Jim Detwiler from my toolbox) Note: to append the geometry data Table (dbase IV) Note: to append the attributes
