Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural gas, especially unconventional gas, has an increasingly important role in meeting the world's energy needs. Experts estimate that it has the potential to add anywhere from 60-250% to the global proven gas reserve in the next two decades. To maintain pace with increasing global demand, Unconventional Gas Reservoirs provides the necessary bridge into the newer processes, approaches and designs to help identify these more uncommon reservoirs available and how to maximize its unconventional potential. Loaded with reservoir development and characterization strategies, this book will show you how to: Recognize the challenges and opportunities surrounding unconventional gas reservoirs Distinguish among the various types of unconventional reservoirs, such as shale gas, coalbed methane, and tight gas formations Drill down and quantify the reservoir’s economic potential and other critical considerations Gain practical insights and tools to efficiently identify, appraise, and develop unconventional gas reservoirs Understand various techniques used to analyze reservoir parameters and performance as well as how they were applied to numerous real-world case studies Upgrade to the latest information on perspectives and insights with discussion of key differences used for today’s unconventional gas characterization versus original conventional methods that failed in the past

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing interest and focus on unconventional reservoirs is a result of the industry's direction toward exploring alternative energy sources. It is due to the fact that conventional reservoirs are being depleted at a fast pace. Shale gas reservoirs are a very favorable type of energy sources due to their low cost and long-lasting gas supply. In general, according to Ausubel (1996), natural gas serves as a transition stage to move from the current oil-based energy sources to future more stable and environment-friendly ones. By looking through production history in the U.S Historical Production Database, HPDI (2009), we learn that the Barnett Shale reservoir in Newark East Field has been producing since the early 90's and contributing a fraction of the U.S daily gas production. Zhao et al. (2007) estimated the Barnett Shale to be producing 1.97 Bcf/day of gas in 2007. It is considered the most productive unconventional gas shale reservoir in Texas. By 2004 and in terms of annual gas production volume, Pollastro (2007) considered the Barnett Shale as the second largest unconventional gas reservoir in the United States. Many studies have been conducted to understand better the production controls in Barnett Shale. However, this giant shale gas reservoir is still ambiguous. Some parts of this puzzle are still missing. It is not fully clear what makes the Barnett well produce high or low amounts of gas. Barnett operating companies are still trying to answer these questions. This study adds to the Barnett chain of studies. It tests the effects of the following on Barnett gas production in the core area (Denton, Wise, and Tarrant counties): * Barnett gross thickness, including the Forestburg formation that divides Barnett Shale. * Perforation footage. * Perforated zones of Barnett Shale. Instead of testing these parameters on each well production decline curve individually, this study uses a new technique to simplify this process. Decline Map Analysis (DMA) is introduced to measure the effects of these parameters on all production decline curves at the same time. Through this study, Barnett gross thickness and perforation footage are found not to have any definite effects on Barnett gas production. However, zone 3 (Top of Lower Barnett) and zone 1 (Bottom of Lower Barnett) are found to contribute to cumulative production. Zone 2 (Middle of Lower Barnett) and zone 4 (Upper Barnett), on the other hand, did not show any correlation or influence on production through their thicknesses.

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.
