Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unconventional Oil and Gas Resources Handbook: Evaluation and Development is a must-have, helpful handbook that brings a wealth of information to engineers and geoscientists. Bridging between subsurface and production, the handbook provides engineers and geoscientists with effective methodology to better define resources and reservoirs. Better reservoir knowledge and innovative technologies are making unconventional resources economically possible, and multidisciplinary approaches in evaluating these resources are critical to successful development. Unconventional Oil and Gas Resources Handbook takes this approach, covering a wide range of topics for developing these resources including exploration, evaluation, drilling, completion, and production. Topics include theory, methodology, and case histories and will help to improve the understanding,integrated evaluation, and effective development of unconventional resources. Presents methods for a full development cycle of unconventional resources, from exploration through production Explores multidisciplinary integrations for evaluation and development of unconventional resources and covers a broad range of reservoir characterization methods and development scenarios Delivers balanced information with multiple contributors from both academia and industry Provides case histories involving geological analysis, geomechanical analysis, reservoir modeling, hydraulic fracturing treatment, microseismic monitoring, well performance and refracturing for development of unconventional reservoirs

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of the Infield Reserve Growth/Secondary Natural Gas Recovery (SGR) project is to develop, test, and verify technologies and methodologies with near- to midterm potential for maximizing the recovery of natural gas from conventional reservoirs in known fields. Additional technical and technology transfer objectives of the SGR project include: To establish how depositional and diagenetic heterogeneities in reservoirs of conventional permeability cause reservoir compartmentalization and, hence, incomplete recovery of natural gas. To document examples of reserve growth occurrence and potential from deltaic and valley-fill sandstones of the Midcontinent as a natural laboratory for developing concepts and testing applications to find secondary gas; to demonstrate how the integration of geology, reservoir engineering, geophysics, and well log analysis/petrophysics leads to strategic recompletion and well placement opportunities for reserve growth in mature fields; and to transfer project results to a wide array of natural gas producers, not just as field case studies, but as conceptual models of how heterogeneities determine natural gas flow units and how to recognize the geologic and engineering clues that operators can use in a cost-effective manner to identify incremental, or secondary, gas.

This book was released on 2021-03-27 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on oilfield performance analysis and development adjustment by integrating geology, applied mathematics, and other relevant theories. Based on the abundant and detailed field test and production data from Daqing and Tarim, two major oilfields in China, the regularities, characteristics, design, and adjustment of waterflooding development of sandstone reservoirs throughout the life cycle are described. Field development theories and practices are organically combined in this book, which, embracing comprehensive, systematic, and pragmatic contents, is conducive to development technicians to quickly grasp the characteristics of waterflooding and prepare adjustment plans. It is also useful as a textbook in petroleum colleges and short training courses.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, the production of unconventional natural gas, particularly gas from shale rocks, grew to reach more than 50 percent of the annual U.S. natural gas output. The term unconventional refers to gas contained in rock formations of very low permeability, which makes gas extraction difficult, because - in contrast to conventional resources - gas cannot easily flow through the reservoir rock into a drilled well and travel to the surface. There are two key technologies that have made production from unconventional resources practical: Massive hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. However, the systematic development of unconventional gas resources entails substantial uncertainty and risk. Therefore, computational tools that mitigate such risk are valuable for economic development of such resources. This research focuses on developing such tools, and is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on a methodology for the analysis of production data from existing wells that can be used for future well planning. The methodology relies on standard principal component analysis (PCA) and regression (PCR), and can help answer questions such as (a) Which wells behave similarly? (b) Which wells behave differently from each other or from standard expectations? (c) What factors contribute to these differences? (d) How can data from existing wells be used to anticipate the performance of new wells? The methodology is illustrated through the analysis of historical production data from twelve wells in the Holly Branch field. The proposed methodology would be even more valuable for larger data sets, for which manual analysis of production data is more cumbersome. The second part addresses the problem of fracture design and optimization, namely, decision making on the optimum number of horizontal wells, the optimum number of transverse fractures per well, fracture dimensions, and the quantity of proppant required per fracture. For this problem, the usual strategy of parametric sensitivity analysis is time consuming and possibly ineffective. The proposed approach accounts for the complex interactions among formation and fracture properties, fracture geometry, production behaviors, design constraints and the objective function. Explicit analytical expressions are developed that can be easily used to implement the proposed methodology on problems in the field.
