Massive hydraulic fracturing operations conducted in shale reservoirs create extensive fracture networks to enhance recovery of hydrocarbons from low permeability shale reservoirs. Fluid invasion into the shale matrix is identified as one of the possible mechanisms leading to low fracturing fluid...

High-Resolution Geochemical Analysis of Controls on Organic Matter Accumulation in the Middle-Upper Devonian Horn River Group
DownloadFall 2020
Organic carbon-rich mudstones, or ‘black shales’, record highly anomalous perturbations of local or earth systems at critical times in earth history. Paleoenvironmental parameters, including primary productivity, redox conditions, and sedimentation rate, have been widely recognized as the...

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...
