Unconventional reservoirs such as shales (mudrocks) and coals may exhibit an ultra-low
matrix permeability (< 0.001 md) challenging conventional laboratory-based methods for …

Significant advances have been made in the evaluation of micro-and nano-scale variations
of pore structure in low-permeability (unconventional) reservoirs using imaging techniques …

Relative permeability is notoriously difficult to measure in the laboratory for low-permeability
rocks with permeability values in the nanodarcy/microdarcy range. The objectives of this …

The application of rate‐transient‐analysis (RTA) concepts to flowback data gathered from
multifractured horizontal wells (MFHWs) completed in tight/shale reservoirs has recently …

Tight-hydrocarbon systems can undergo significant depressurization through leakage of
fluids, primarily gas, in response to uplift. Leakage at the up-dip margins of these systems …

Hydrocarbon production from the Lower Triassic Montney Formation in northeastern British
Columbia, occurs primarily from unconventional reservoirs consisting predominantly of fine …

Recovery factors associated with primary recovery (pressure depletion) schemes are often
small (< 5–10%) for low-permeability hydrocarbon reservoirs. As a result, cyclic solvent …

Reservoir engineers commonly apply rate-transient analysis (RTA) and pressure-transient
analysis (PTA) methods to analyze multi-fracture horizontal wells (MFHWs) completed in …

Unconventional petroleum systems go through multiple episodes of internal hydrocarbon
migration in response to evolving temperature and pressure conditions during burial and …

Multi-fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs) have enabled commercial production from low-
permeability oil reservoirs but oil recoveries remain exceedingly small using the primary …
