| Abstract | Summary The Frasnian (Upper Devonian) Duvernay Formation is a significant target for unconventional exploration initiatives in Alberta, particularly for liquids. We focus on the origin of variability in the Duvernay that is significant to the producibility of hydrocarbons, which in other reservoirs may reflect variations in primary composition, diagenetic alteration, thermal maturity, sediment source, primary production, clay content and hydrodynamic conditions. Shale composition exerts control over porosity and pore size distribution and the potential of the pore system to store and deliver gas. |
