(2012-12-11)The current state of shale gas reservoir dynamics demands understanding long-term production, and existing models that address important parameters like fracture half-length, permeability, and stimulated shale volume assume ...
-
(2012-10-19)Frequently a discrepancy is found between the stimulated shale volume (SSV) estimated from production data and the SSV expected from injected water and proppant volume. One possible explanation is the presence of a fracture ...
-
(2012-02-14)Shale gas formations are known to have low permeability. This low permeability can be as low as 100 nano darcies. Without stimulating wells drilled in the shale gas formations, it is hard to produce them at an economic ...
-
(2022-06-03)Unconventional shale gas production in the United States has been largely improved due to the development of hydraulic fracturing technology. However, the shale gas production system is generally complex; further, such ...
-
(2014-08-11)As the energy demand is increasing constantly, sustainable energy resources are needed to meet this demand and enable economic stability. In order to attain this goal, researchers continue to develop new technologies and ...
-
(2017-12-07)The recent discoveries of substantial reserves of shale gas have significantly impacted butadiene production and prices. Shale gas offers a competitive feedstock that can be used to produce a variety of chemicals and ...
-
(2018-05-06)One of the key challenges with shale gas is the wide variability in its composition and flow rate. The composition and flow rate, both between wells, and within the same well over time, can differ significantly. This is a ...
