A Comparative Study of Flowback Rate and Pressure Transient Behaviour in Multifractured Horizontal Wells
DownloadFall 2013
Tight reservoirs stimulated by multistage hydraulic fracturing are commonly characterized by analyzing the hydrocarbon production data. However, analyzing the hydrocarbon production data can best be applied to estimate the effective fracture-matrix interface, and is not enough for a full fracture...

A well-to-wire life cycle assessment of Canadian shale gas for electricity generation in China
Download2016-01-01
Raj, Ratan, Ghandehariun, Samane, Kumar, Amit, Linwei, Ma
China relies heavily on coal for power generation, and the demand for coal in a country of this size makes China the world’s largest carbon dioxide emitter; hence China is pursuing greener pathways for power generation. Importing shale gas in the form of LNG from Canada is one such pathway. It...

The key objective of this paper is to develop a benchmark for water demand coefficients of the complete life cycle of natural gas-fired power generation. Water demand coefficients include water consumption and water withdrawals for various stages of natural gas production as well as for power...

Multivariate geostatistical modeling of unconventional shale gas reservoirs in the presence of sparse data
DownloadFall 2018
A geostatistical workflow for modeling multivariate sparsely sampled variables in shale gas reservoirs is proposed in this thesis and applied to a study area in the HRB. This workflow accounts for direct and cross spatial correlation between variables while decreases computational modeling time...
