Kim et al.(2019)recently presented an analysis of the influence of reservoir and completion parameters on natural gas production from wells drilled and completed in the Montney Formation in Alberta,Canada.A key finding of their study is that one of the reservoir quality parameters,total organic carbon(TOC),has a strong positive linear relationship with peak monthly gas rate.However,their data set incorrectly includes a TOC measurement of a drill-core sample acquired from the unrelated Jurassic Nordegg Member,which unconform-ably overlies the Triassic Montney Formation.Excluding this single inapplicable Nordegg sample from the Montney data set results in peak monthly gas rate having essentially no significant correlation with TOC,and calls into question the proposal of Kim et al.that productivity in the unconventional Montney gas play can quantified and forecasted solely on the basis of organic carbon content parameters.
