Description of Consultation

Delaware Basin Regional Study Bone Spring / Wolfcamp Formations

Analysis of 1304 wells

The Bone Spring to Strawn strata represents an extremely prolific resource play.

This study provides a petrophysical and geologic analysis of key wells in the Delaware Basin.

The Bone Spring to Strawn strata represents an extremely prolific resource play and this study provides a petrophysical and geologic analysis of key wells in the Delaware Basin. NuTech provides insight into the connectivity of textural attributes of the wells with NULOOK Shale Analysis, attribute mapping from NUVIEW, and formation brittleness and fracability identification from NUSTIM Geomechanical Analysis.

Delaware Wolfcamp (Wolfcampian): Behaves as a reservoir and source rock due to ideal mineralogy and grain size distribution. Industry publications cite mineralogy at 50-90% quartz and carbonate, with 10% clay. Other stats include a pressure gradient of 0.7 psi/ft, porosity around 5-9%, and TOC about 2-5%.

Avalon Shale (Leonardian): Organic-rich shale and siltstone lying in between the top of the Bone Spring Formation and the top of the First Bone Spring sandstone. In Loving County, Avalon net pay is up to 600 feet thick. The shale has good TOC at 5-6% with low permeability generally less than .1md and production occurs where logs indicate high gamma ray (>75u). Porosity is around 16-18% and contains 105 MMBOE in place per section.

Bone Spring (Leonardian): The entire Bone Spring group averages roughly 3,500 feet thick. It can be subdivided into alternating carbonate and clastic (sand) members deposited in slope and basin settings. This reciprocal sedimentation is thought to be the result of sea level changes where carbonates were deposited in transgression (high stand) and clastics in regression (low stand).

About Steven Roth

Steven Roth joined NuTech in 2000. Prior to his appointment as CEO, Mr. Roth served as Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, International Business Development Manager, and as a Senior Account Manager with NuTech.

Mr. Roth graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1986 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology, and later earned his Master of Science degree in Geology from Kansas State University. With more than 36 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, he has also worked as:

Senior Development Geologist for Stocker Resources, Inc. where duties included developing a 3D reservoir model, identifying new drill well locations for the drilling program, assisting in designing the drilling program for new drill wells. Played a key role in constructing and implementing a petrophysical model for the Inglewood Field, which revolutionized the completion process.
Senior Exploration Geologist with ARCO International Oil and Gas responsible for geologic duties pertaining to two lease blocks, offshore Gabon, West Africa, which included drilling a $15 Million oil discovery, basin analysis, and prospect generation. Conducted presentations to ARCO management, foreign partners, and Gabonese government officials. Responsible for all phases of geological exploration in onshore and offshore basins throughout world. Beyond West Africa, duties also included regional basin analysis, prospect generation, core description, source rock maturation modeling, interpreting 2D seismic data, and wellsite evaluation. Participated in bid-rounds, data rooms, and farm-out presentations. Involved with projects in Syria, Australia, New Zealand, Myanmar, Vietnam, China, and Russia. Conducted presentations to ARCO management, foreign partners, and government officials.
Development Geologist with THUMS Long Beach Co. (ARCO) responsible for geologic duties pertaining to the Long Beach Unit, offshore Wilmington Field, which included assisting with the interpretation of a 3D seismic data set. As part of a Reservoir Management Team, duties included working with the reservoir engineers to identify new drilling locations and completion intervals, detailed reservoir volumetric studies, seismic interpretation, and prospect assessment.

Mr. Roth is also a member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), and the Society of Independent Professional Earth Scientists (SIPES).
