RPSEA Selects Project

The Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America (RPSEA) has selected a research project that will be using MPath.

RPSEA announced that nineteen proposals have been selected for negotiations leading to an award under the Unconventional Resources Program focused on increasing the supply of domestic natural gas and other petroleum resources. The projects include Application of Natural Gas Composition to Modeling Communication Within and Filling of Large Tight-Gas-Sand Reservoirs, Rocky Mountains, which is being conducted by the Colorado School of Mines in partnership with The Permedia Research Group, among others.

Colorado School of Mines is using MPath to study the processes by which gas fills the large tight‐gas‐sand reservoirs of the Rocky Mountains and the degree of internal communication in these reservoirs. This research will lead to new models for predicting the top of gas in these reservoirs, the composition of the gas, the validity of basin‐centered gas models and the degree of communication between different stratigraphic levels and different fault compartments within reservoirs.
