Abstract

Background: This research report provides the background, sampling techniques, and laboratory analyses results of an extensive research undertaking of oil wells producing crude oil in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale. This research was completed for the benefit of the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale Laboratory on behalf of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Results: Laboratory analyses in this research report include API gravity, pour point, and paraffin wax content. The results of this research give quantitative results that are graphed out for easy interpretation. These results will provide a baseline for monitoring the crude oil as the wells mature and as new wells are introduced in theTuscaloosa Marine Shale. Conclusion: This research report shows evidence that a well drilled and completed in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale should be a very predictable oil. The laboratory analyses proved that even though the wells were sampled at different geological location, the crude oil showed very similar results in the laboratory analyses.
