Producing natural gas from shale gas reservoir presents a great challenge to petroleum
industry due to its low permeability nature. The process of gas release and production from …

Hydraulic fracturing of multi-lateral horizontal wells for shale gas production usually requires
a great amount of water. Field data indicate that only a small fraction of the injected water …

Analytical chemistry is powerful in analyzing complex mixtures of crude oil and brine
subsurfaces on the basis of atomic and molecular levels. Geochemistry applies chemical …

On the backdrop of dwindling conventional reserves, unconventional reservoirs have
emerged as a pivotal chapter in resource extraction. Despite their challenges, such as low …

We propose a new semianalytical method for analyzing flowback water and gas production
data to estimate hydraulic fracture (HF) properties and to quantify HF dynamics. The method …

After fracturing operation, hydraulic fractures and induced fractures are created within the
shale reservoir. A lot of treatment water is stored in fractures network and flow back into the …

As a powerful technique for quantitative production data analysis, type curves play an
essential role in estimating reservoir and fracture properties. However, two-phase flow after …

Abstract Analysis of flowback data, gathered immediately after fracture stimulation, can be
performed to understand the fluid flow physics, investigate flow regimes, and obtain early …

In multi-fractured horizontal wells (MFHW), fracture properties such as permeability and
fracture half-length significantly deteriorate during production, which negatively affects gas …

Flowback and produced water is causing water environment pollution and elevated disposal
costs during the shale gas development. Due to high salinity and variously hazardous …
