no seal

play fairway area

no charge

For a given depositional sequence A Play Fairway is the

present day area of a potential reservoir unit, with the possibility
of having a complete working petroleum system (seal, charge
and trap)

Play Fairway Analysis examines relative risks and total volume

potential

Play Fairway Analysis examines four play components (reservoir,

seal, charge, trap)

Geochemistry
780 samples were collected at the GSCCalgary and submitted to TOC/RockEval analysis.
Another 60 samples were picked and
submitted to Vitrinite Reflectance
analysis.
TOC/Rock-Eval analysis measures
organic carbon content of the rock and
other characteristics, which are used to
identify hydrocarbon source rocks.
Vitrinite Reflectance measures maturity

GLOOSCAP C-63 (4245 m)

Petroleum fluid inclusions as a net spread along a cleavage or fracture plane. They show
fluorescence in Ultra violet (UV) and at both ends of visible spectrum (green and red)

GLOOSCAP C-63 (4425 m)

Petroleum Fluid Inclusions (PFI) usually exist along linear features such as cleavage planes
and fractures. They show fluorescence in Ultra violet (UV) and at both ends of visible spectrum
(green and red)
