Description of Consultation

Utica Regional Shale Study

A look at 123 wells across an interval that is drawing increased attention for its potential.

The Utica Shale/Point Pleasant shale intervals continue to shine in the Appalachian Basin.

Historically, Utica Shale/Point Pleasant intervals have been considered likely source units for hydrocarbons produced from Trenton and Black River reservoirs.

Over the last few years, the Utica Shale and Point Pleasant shales have demonstrated to be significant reservoir targets and have become one of the most economic unconventional plays in North America.

The Point Pleasant deposition occurred at the end of the Middle Ordovician and was followed by Utica Shale deposition during the beginning of the Upper Ordovician as part of the Cincinnati Group. Deposition of these sediments occurred between 465 and 455 million years ago.

The Point Pleasant Formation consists of interbedded limestones, calcareous shales, and black carbonaceous shales that were deposited in the Utica Shale/Point Pleasant sub-basin of the Central Appalachian Basin located between the Lexington and Trenton platforms. Deposition of the Utica was more extensive than the deposition of the Point Pleasant, and consists of organic-rich shales. These units were deposited in a low-energy environment with restricted circulation resulting in organic-rich sedimentation of source/ reservoir rocks.

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).
