Analysis of Water Flowback and Gas Production Data for Fracture Characterization in the Horn River Basin
DownloadSpring 2019
Shale gas is one of the most promising energy resources due to its wide distribution, abundant reserves, and low pollutant emissions to the environment. Although shale gas plays usually have very low permeability and porosity, the use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies...

Analytical and Experimental Study of Gas Flow Regime in the Matrix and Fractures of Shale Gas Reservoirs
DownloadFall 2016
One of the most significant differences between conventional and unconventional gas resources is the ultra-low matrix permeability of unconventional gas reservoirs such as shale, coal and tight gas. Matrix permeability of shales is an elusive but important parameter in characterizing shale gas...

Hydraulically fractured horizontal wells are widely adopted for the development of tight or shale gas reservoirs. The presence of highly heterogeneous, multi-scale, fracture systems often renders any detailed characterization of the fracture properties challenging. The discrete fracture network...

Numerical Simulation of Shale Gas Production and Fracturing Fluid Distribution: Integration of Apparent Permeability and Secondary Fracture Network Modeling
DownloadFall 2019
Complex flow mechanisms are encountered in shale matrix due to the presence of nanopores. Numerous apparent permeability models have been proposed to capture the ensuing non-Darcy flow behavior. However, these models are not readily available in most commercial reservoir simulators, and ignoring...
