(2010-10-12)Reserves estimation in unconventional (low/ultra-low permeability) reservoirs has become a topic of increased interest as more of these resources are being developed, especially in North America. The estimation of reserves ...
-
(2012-07-16)Production forecasting in shale (ultra-low permeability) gas reservoirs is of great interest due to the advent of multi-stage fracturing and horizontal drilling. The well renowned production forecasting model, Arps? ...
-
(2015-05-05)In the last decades rapid advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies ensure production of commercial quantities of natural gas from many unconventional reservoirs. Reservoir management and ...
-
(2011-10-21)Multistage hydraulic fracturing of horizontal wells continues to be a major technological tool in the oil and gas industry. Creation of multiple transverse fractures in shale gas has enabled production from very low ...
-
(2016-12-08)Biogenic ethanol from corn has proven effective as an oxygenate that improves gasoline engine performance. However, the US Renewable Fuel Portfolio legislation was written before shale gas became a huge technically recoverable ...
-
(2012-10-19)In 1997, Rogner published a paper containing an estimate of the natural gas in place in unconventional reservoirs for 11 world regions. Rogner's work was assessing the unconventional gas resource base, and is now considered ...
-
(2012-10-19)Different methods have been proposed for history matching production of shale gas/oil wells which are drilled horizontally and usually hydraulically fractured with multiple stages. These methods are simulation, analytical ...
-
(2012-02-14)With increase of interest in exploiting shale gas/oil reservoirs with multiple stage fractured horizontal wells, complexity of production analysis and reservoir description have also increased. Different methods and models ...
-
(2013-08-07)New decline curve models have been developed to overcome the boundary-dominated flow assumption of the basic Arps’ models, which restricts their application in ultra-low permeability reservoirs exhibiting long-duration ...
-
(2013-02-04)Recent breakthroughs in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technology have made huge reservoirs of previously untapped shale gas and shale oil formations available for use. These new resources have already made ...
-
(2012-10-24)Time-rate analysis and time-rate-pressure analysis methods are available to estimate reserves and study flow performance of wells in unconventional gas reservoirs. However, these tools are often incorrectly used or the ...
-
(2010-07-14)Various analytical, semi-analytical, and empirical models have been proposed to characterize rate and pressure behavior as a function of time in tight/shale gas systems featuring a horizontal well with multiple hydraulic ...
-
(2013-11-25)The hydrocarbon resources found in shale reservoirs have become an important energy source in recent years. Unconventional geological and engineering features of shale systems pose challenges to the characterization of ...
-
(2016-08-08)Quantification of gas storage and transport in organic-rich shale is important in determining natural gas production rates and reserves. However, laboratory measurements are challenging, due to very tight nature of the ...
-
(2016-05-03)The aim of this study is to provide a systems perspective on shale gas monetization to fuels and chemicals. The properties of shale reservoirs and shale gas production processes will be discussed briefly before focusing ...
-
(2016-10-27)The intense focus on the intersection of energy and the environment has led to extensive discussion of both environmental issues and energy practices. While the environmental health and safety (EHS) issues in oil and gas ...
