(2014-12-18)Concerns about the substantial amounts of water and chemicals pumped into the subsurface during hydraulic fracturing are valid because long term effects of these stimulation actions are unknown at the present time. Although ...
-
(2019-04-09)The numerical Laplace transformation of discrete data has been discussed extensively in the petroleum literature in applications related to well-test analysis. This approach has been shown to be a useful tool for the ...
-
(2018-06-01)A mechanistic model was created to calculate recovery factors and capillary pressure curves for unconventional reservoirs. A key aspect of the model is that it accounts for the effect of fluid confinement that occurs inside ...
-
(2017-05-08)The Eagle Ford group was a prolific producer of unconventional oil and gas in south Texas during the last decade. Operators typically target the Lower Eagle Ford formation to drill horizontal wells with lateral lengths ...
-
(2012-10-19)Over 18 billion barrels of waste fluids are generated annually from oil and gas production in the United States. As a large amount of water is used for oilfield operations, treating and reusing produced water can cut the ...
-
(2020-01-08)This study investigates the relative influences of rock properties (porosity, clay content, grain density, and water saturation) on sediment dewatering in the interests of improving understanding of soaking enhanced oil ...
-
(2012-02-14)Excess water production is a major economic and environmental problem for the oil and gas industry. The cost of processing excess water runs into billions of dollars. Polymer gel technology has been successfully used in ...
-
(2020-01-30)This dissertation is on measuring the permeability of the unconventional rock samples in the laboratory in order to understand the flow of single-phase and multi-phase fluids in these rocks. Steady-state flow measurements ...
-
Probabilistic Performance Forecasting for Unconventional Reservoirs With Stretched-Exponential Model (2011-08-08)Reserves estimation in an unconventional-reservoir setting is a daunting task because of geologic uncertainty and complex flow patterns evolving in a long-stimulated horizontal well, among other variables. To tackle this ...
-
(2015-08-24)The Marcellus shale is currently the most productive shale play in the United States. In 2015, the Marcellus shale play led in natural gas production per rig and had the highest shale gas production in the United States. ...
-
(2020-07-29)Unconventional resources have recently gained significant momentum in the industry while the scientific understanding of these resources are primarily under research. Due to the large scale of activities with hundreds of ...
-
(2016-07-28)Stratigraphic, biostratigraphic and geochemical analysis yields a greater understanding of the depositional environment of the Upper Cretaceous Ojinaga Formation in West Texas. A detailed measured section of the Ojinaga ...
