Smackover Play 3D basin model of lithium resources in place for exploration, extraction, and production.
Smackover Play
Lithium brine basin resource report
Overview
3D basin model report for the Smackover Play
The 3D basin model report for the Smackover Play in Arkansas and Texas provides a static model of the estimated lithium resources in place to help accelerate the exploration, extraction, and production of lithium. This 3D lithium brine resource model was built using available data such as well logs, wireline porosity logs, temperature, and geochemical data, including lithium concentration measurements and historic basin evolution information.
SLB Petromod™ basin modeling software was used to reconstruct the evolution of the Smackover sedimentary basin, particularly the porosity cube for the lithium-bearing brine reservoir and to calculate the brine volume in place.
Applications
- Regional-level basin screening as a first step to detailed subsurface modeling
- Quick identification of potential acreage positions
- Ability to high-grade prospects with lithium sweet-spot mapping
- Data-gap identification and acquisition strategy
Benefits
Review interpreted work by subsurface experts vs. spending time collecting and consolidating data and building initial models
More accurately assess the value of acreage
Optimize scope for due diligence in resource assessments
Features
- Analysis for a 27,080-mi2 area across Arkansas and Texas
- In-place lithium volumes
- Porosity-to-depth curves
- Depth structure maps
- An ability to increase resolution for field development planning
