Canada Sedimentary Basin

Canada is the second country after the US to start the shale gas exploration and production in the world. And the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) is known for its rich shale gas reserves. However, with the development of shale gas, it is found that the success of the United States is difficult to replicate. In addition, many oil companies were forced to transfer their focus of exploration and development from shale gas to tight oil for the extended downturn of gas-price in recent years. Afterwards, abundant resources of tight oil were discovered in northeast Alberta located in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. This paper studies the developing history and current situation of tight oil, and review the horizontal well drilling technology, stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) fracturing completion technology and multi-well pad factory operation. Meanwhile, some opinions and Suggestions on the tight oil exploration and production in China are proposed.
