(2014-01-09)With the emergence of liquid rich shale (LRS) plays like Eagle Ford and Northern Barnett, the petroleum industry needs a simple, easily applied technique that provides reliable estimates of future production rates in this ...
-
(2013-07-30)The Eagle Ford play in south Texas is currently one of the hottest plays in the United States. In 2012, the average Eagle Ford rig count (269 rigs) was 15% of the total US rig count. Assessment of the oil and gas resources ...
-
(2019-11-14)In recent decades, the demand in energy has continuously escalated due to the growing world population. In order to meet these ever-growing energy needs, many avenues have been explored. In the oil and gas industry, in ...
-
(2016-08-01)The purpose of this work is to perform an improved method to optimize different CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes in unconventional liquid reservoirs, particularly in the volatile oil region of the Eagle Ford shale. ...
-
(2016-07-14)The aim of this study was to develop an understanding of the Eagle Ford shale unpropped and propped fracture conductivity. Samples were collected at Antonio Creek and Lozier Canyon. Both outcrops are several hundred feet ...
-
(2015-05-13)The Eagle Ford Formation is currently the most economically significant unconventional resource play in the state of Texas. There has been much debate as to the environment of deposition for the lowermost Facies A of the ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2014-09-05)Hydraulic fracture treatments are used in low permeability shale reservoirs in order to provide highly conductive pathways from the reservoir to the wellbore. The success of these treatments is highly reliant on the created ...
-
(2019-04-09)The coupling of the technologies of the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing operations has enabled the economic development of the shale oil and gas reservoirs and led to the recent significant increase in the ...
-
(2016-04-07)The Upper Cretaceous in Texas is a proven prolific hydrocarbon system. The “Eaglebine” in Central Texas, which includes both the Eagle Ford and Woodbine intervals, is an emerging play with promising results. However, ...
-
(2018-03-30)Whole-rock elemental data is a useful tool for sub-dividing and characterizing mudrock variability across a shale basin. The chemostratigraphy of the Cenomanian-Turonian the Woodbine and Eagle Ford Groups in the Brazos ...
-
(2017-12-13)Interest in applications of x-ray fluorescence (XRF) is greatly increasing, but the diversity of applications of XRF data has yet to be fully exploited. This dissertation presents three projects showcasing different ...
-
(2021-04-23)A micro-scale investigation of mechanical rock properties is carried out in this study. Two of the main mechanical properties being investigated are rock elastic properties, identified by the Transversely Isotropic (TI) ...
-
(2016-05-03)Trace metal analyses of organic carbon rich sediments yields an understanding of the paleoredox conditions at the time of deposition. The specific behaviors of V and Mo differ within strongly reducing versus weakly reducing ...
-
(2014-08-27)Carbonate precipitation can be either promoted or inhibited by microbial processes in different redox zones. It is therefore possible for basin redox evolution to indirectly control early carbonate diagenesis and modify ...
-
(2016-04-19)The study presents prediction of Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) for multi-stage hydraulically fractured horizontal wells producing primarily oil in the Eagle Ford. The EUR prediction models’ comparison for the multi-stage ...
-
(2018-08-01)This paper utilizes synthetic models of the Eagle Ford to identify how variation of lithological facies across the regional extent of the Eagle Ford affects its seismic response. I apply three different modeling methods ...
-
(2022-12-08)Petrophysical, geochemical, and isotopic characteristics were used to define unconformity-bounded formations and members within the Woodbine and Eagle Ford Groups in the shallow subsurface along the northwestern margin of ...
-
(2021-01-18)The Woodbine and Eagle Ford Groups are prolific hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs in the East Texas Basin (ETB). However, complex stratigraphic relationships between these units in the subsurface has led to the succession ...
-
(2011-10-21)The horizontal well with multiple transverse fractures has proven to be an effective strategy for shale gas reservoir exploitation. Some operators are successfully producing shale oil using the same strategy. Due to its ...
