In the last decade, numerous approaches, eg, analytical and semi-analytical pressure
solutions, production decline curve, reservoir-scale numerical models, have been used to …

Hydraulic fracturing is a dominant technology in unconventional resources development.
Recent advances in fracture-diagnostic tools and fracture-propagation models make it …

The demand for a clean energy source from shale is growing day-to-day since it is not
harmful to the environment like other fossil fuels. Further, shale reservoirs offer long-term …

The objective of this study is to develop physical models to quantitatively simulate the
pressure response of well interference through fracture hits with complex geometries. Our …

In this article, an open-source code for the simulation of fluid flow, including adsorption,
transport, and indirect hydromechanical coupling in unconventional fractured reservoirs is …

Optimizing multistage fractured horizontal wells (MFHW) can tap the full potential of tight oil
reservoirs. Although recent studies have introduced various frameworks, most of the …

Current US unconventional resource revolution has more than doubled US oil production
and made US the largest oil production country in the world recently. Although the industry is …

The goal of this study is to develop a new model to simulate gas and water transport in shale
nanopores and complex fractures. A new gas diffusivity equation was first derived to …

Two-phase flow is generally significant in the hydraulic-fracturing design of a shale-gas
reservoir, especially during the flowback period. Investigating the gas-and water-production …

Field observations show that natural fractures are commonly presented in unconventional
reservoirs, acting as planes of weakness that divert hydraulic fracture propagation and …
