RCRL

The RCRL was founded in 1987 by Charles Kerans and F. Jerry Lucia to study carbonate reservoirs

How much seismic data did we use in our Permian Basin geomodel?
RCRL benefits from 42 3D seismic surveys and more than twenty-five hundred 2D seismic lines in the Permian Basin.

The Reservoir Characterization Research Laboratory (RCRL) carbonate research group held its spring core workshop at the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin BEG Houston Research Center.

What happens if I try to display 30,000 gamma ray well logs in 3D?
Apart from needing Nvidia's most powerful graphics card, you may only want to do it once you've properly normalized your well log curves.

The RCRL Regional Permian Basin model contains ~360,000 wells with stratigraphic information and ~45,000 horizontal producing wells with production history, estimated ultimate recovery, and landing zone information.

Why build a 3D Geomodel of the Permian Basin at all?
Integration of multidisciplinary, multidomain datasets is not optional; it is the mechanism that converts raw data into predictive understanding.

Xavier Janson and graduate student Jimmy Vercoe and Ali Albulushi went scouting outcrop in the Northern Franklin Mountains for Jimmy's MSc thesis project. We found some great exposure of the Percha Shale (Woodford eq.), Miss. contourites, and Helms Fm. shales (Barnett eq.)

RCRL student Josh Malone , Xavier Janson and Buddy Price (Devon) recently spent a week in the Death Valley area scouting spectacular exposure of Pennsylvanian platform, slope and deep-water deposits for Josh's PhD project.

RCRL conducted a field trip to examine small-scale structures in the Cretaceous and Lower Paleozoic. This wrapped up the 2022 Research Activities. Onward to 2023!

Summer field work season. How about some folded and fractured carbonates? Wyoming never disappoints.

[RCRL @RCRL15]

Following technical and core presentations, the RCRL wrapped-up its annual meeting with a field trip to the Sacramento Mountains looking at the late Paleozoic sections and how it relates to the ARM tectonic. See a 3D video of Dog Canyon stop here: https://t.co/Xe2XAMRppp

Charlie Kerans, Xavier Janson and Chris Zahm completed field work in preparation for the upcoming RCRL sponsor's meeting field trip in the Sacramento Mtns.

Leland Spangler and Joe Syzdek recently completed their Master's degree. Their work in the Sacramento Mountains advances the understanding of structure and stratigraphy of the region and will be part of the fall 2021 RCRL field trip!

An interesting article on submarine canyons by some UT "heavy hitters" including RCRL's Charles Kerans. https://t.co/ZgrkSgo5pE
