The Montney Play
The Montney Play is the foremost example of unconventional gas play in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Large camisetas impresion deposits of shale and siltstone with poor permeability contain vast quantities of gas in the
Recent technological advances created new opportunities within this play, allowing operators to extract hydrocarbons from this resilient reservoir. Horizontal drilling following steep build sections allow boreholes to open up more reservoir, while heavy invert mud keeps open holes under control. Multi-stage fracturing, a process that cracks up the rock by shooting high pressure water and sand into the formation, creates permeable conduits within the otherwise tight formation. The Montney reservoir has little to no water, so large scale fracturing does generally not result in well flooding. This, combined with the thickness of camisetas impresion the Montney stack, makes it an ideal candidate for multi-stage fracturing.
