Understanding the complexity and heterogeneity of pore structure can improve the
comprehensive characterization for complex unconventional reservoirs and better exploit …

We propose three idealized hydraulic fracture geometries (“fracture scenarios”) likely to
occur in shale oil reservoirs characterized by high pore pressure and low differential in situ …

Hydraulic fracturing has become a key technology to economically extract oil and gas from
unconventional reservoirs. During hydraulic fracturing, fluid loss and water invasion into …

High original oil-in-place estimates accompanied by low primary recovery potential of
organic-rich shale formations make them suitable candidates for enhanced oil recovery …

This is the third of a three-part tutorial describing a workflow for evaluating unconventional
resources including organic mudstones and tight siltstones. Part 1 reviewed the unique …

I appreciate and thank all those who have helped me technically and personally in
completing this thesis work successfully. First and foremost, I sincerely thank my advisor, Dr …
