Multiple gas transport mechanisms and geological parameters influence total gas
production in hydraulically-fractured organic-rich shale reservoirs. The absolute and relative …

An ensemble-based method has been developed and successfully applied to
simultaneously estimate relative permeability and capillary pressure curves for tight …

A novel EnKF technique together with its detailed workflow has been developed and
successfully applied to simultaneously evaluate relative permeability and capillary pressure …

During the past few years, several studies have analyzed the pressure-transient responses
of hydraulically fractured horizontal wells in shale-gas reservoirs. However, that research …

Shale gas reservoirs have ultra-low matrix permeability and consist of matrix and natural
fracture systems. Horizontal wells with hydraulic fractures are necessary to economically …

In the past decade a plethora of research in academia and industry has focused on
understanding the fundamental flow behavior of naturally fractured shale gas reservoirs …

The prospects of meeting the future's high energy demands lie in the exploration of
unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs, of which the shale gas and the tight gas are two …

Shale gas reservoirs usually have extremely low permeability and relatively low porosity.
Horizontal wells with massive multi stage hydraulic fracturing treatment has been performed …

In this chapter, practical approaches for analyzing well performance in shale gas reservoirs
are presented. Mini-frac test are performed before main fracturing to determine the reservoir …

Natural gas is stored in shales in different ways:(1) gas adsorbed in the kerogen material,(2)
free gas in inorganic inter-particle and intraparticle (matrix) porosity,(3) free gas in a pore …
