Science for Industry: Necessity is the mother of invention Third Networking Event dedicated to the Polish experience in the field of shale gas exploration Activities of PGNiG in exploration of unconventional hydrocarbon resources in Poland Michał Makos
Main criterions for development of unconventional HC accumulation: High content of TOC (total organic carbon) Significant thickness of TOC-rich rock Proper thermal maturity for oil/gas generation Type of organic matter (kerogen) adequate to thermal maturity Fast burial of the source rock high subsidence in the basin Insignificant post-burial tectonic activity Main criterions for exploration of unconventional HC accumulation: Depth of pay zone location generally not deeper than 4500 metres Low level of tectonic deformation horizontal or nearly horizontal bedding Proper pressure in the basin overpressure is the best Proper porosity and permeability of the reservoir rock Proper brittleness of the reservoir rock Conventional reservoirs or at least HC shows confirmed in the basin

Thermal maturity trend for lower Silurian and upper Ordovician potential source rocks
Summary PGNiG explores on 11 concessions with potential for unconventional resources Fifteen drilled wells, two wells are in progress, another wells are planned Two horizontal wells drilled Most of wells drilled in the Pomeranian Basin (11) Two 3D seismic realised, two more are in progress and two more are planned Three 2D seismic realised and two more are planned The main target is the Lower Paleozoic complex of shaley deposits (Llandoverian + Caradocian) Another target is the Middle Cambrian tight sandstone We do not exclude the Upper Devonian carbonates as the another potential target TOC up to 10% in the Lower Paleozoic source rocks Geochemical factors indicate good and very good potential for HC generation from the Lower Paleozoic source rocks Thermal maturity indicates potential for shale oil and shale gas Thickness of the source rock exceeds 20 metres in the Pomeranian Basin and is much lower in the Lublin Basin The Lower Silurian source rocks contain organic matter composed of oil-prone, type-ii kerogen Geochemical characteristics of desorbed gas indicates its thermogenic character Geochemical characteristics of oil from the Lubocino-1 well indicates that the Silurian/Ordovician shales could have supplied conventional reservoirs in the Middle Cambrian sandstone Single test in the Lubocino-1 well indicates underpressure conditions in this part of the basin. This finding, however, needs confirmation in another wells Clay content in the shaley intervals is between 25% and 70%. Layers rich in smectite are the most significant obstacle for hydraulic fracturing process The average effective porosity of the Lower Paleozoic shale is around 6%. Its permeability is between 0.0001 and 0.1 md Good source rock with good petrophysical properties is confirmed The most significant problem is a technology of reservoir completion
