Cretaceous Shallow Unconventional Shale Gas (SUSG), southwesternManitoba

Shale gas plays are becoming progressively more important in the energy market as gas production

from these reservoirs is increasing. With the advances in exploitation technology gas production from

shale has become more viable and economic. Based on previous studies southwestern Manitoba can be

a good candidate for extracting gas from shale formations at shallow depth. However there is need for

more studies in order to find the most productive shaly layers in the area and to design the proper

techniques for gas extraction. Researches on this area, as a shallow shale gas potential, have been

recently started. What has been done so far mostly includes surficial studies. All the subsurface

information should also be investigated in order to make legitimate judgment of the shale gas potential

in this area. This research integrates core, log and other subsurface data to provide a link between the

surface and subsurface where the gas reservoir really exists. Also, it will aid in………..TOBECONTINUED
