The most common fallacy in the quest for the optimum stimulation treatment in shale plays
across the country is to treat them all just like the Barnett Shale. There is no doubt that the …

The dielectric approach is considered as one of the measurements that have potential in
characterizing dissipative mediums which have an electrical contrast in their comprising …

Dielectric measurements and interpretation, introduced with great promise in the 1980s,
have not found widespread use owing to measurement limitations, moderate accuracy, and …

A novel correlation identifying inefficient drilling conditions is presented using experimental
and field data. Historically, Mechanical Specific Energy (MSE) has been used to improve the …

Development of in situ electromagnetic (EM) retorting technologies and design of specific
EM well logging tools requires an understanding of various process parameters (applied …

The prediction of the pore geometrical properties is important in the exploration and
development of tight-sandstone hydrocarbon reservoirs. To investigate this topic, we have …

Multi-frequency dielectric scanning logging is an advanced method that plays a critical role
in evaluating unconventional oil and gas reserves and residual oil distribution. This method …

Dielectric spectroscopy can be used to identify the fluid properties of complex reservoirs, but
no existing model can accurately describe the dielectric dispersion behavior of rocks in a …

This paper proposes a novel structure for the Logging While Drilling (LWD) azimuthal
laterolog resistivity instrument specifically designed for oil-based mud (OBM). The …

Determining rock microstructure remains challenging, since a proper rock-physics model is
needed to establish the relation between pore microstructure and elastic and transport …
