From organo-mineral nanocomposite to Australian basins; an integrated approach to unconventional gas exploration and development. Gas production from unconventional shale reservoirs is a potential major energy boom in Australia that will lower carbon emissions over comparable coal and oil use. The geological controls of shale are currently too poorly understood to direct effective exploration. This project will be the largest international effort to develop this knowledge.

Summary
Integrated 2MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance high temperature tri-axial flow cell apparatus. The development of an integrated facility for petrophysical measurements allows the efficient use of expensive rock cores from gas or liquid reservoirs to develop reliable cross-correlations at conditions encountered in real reservoirs. The equipment is optimised for applications to unconventional reservoirs like Australia’s gas resources, in particular coal-bed methane reservoirs and gas reservoirs where ....Integrated 2MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance high temperature tri-axial flow cell apparatus.

The equipment is optimised for applications to unconventional reservoirs like Australia’s gas resources, in particular coal-bed methane reservoirs and gas reservoirs where gas is difficult to extract.Read moreRead less
