The shale has ultra-low permeability wherein multi-scale natural fractures are well- developed. The success of providing high diversion channels makes multi-stage fractured …
Tight sandstone and shale oil reservoirs are one of the most promising and realistic important oil exploration fields in the 21st century. The research on the development …
The flow and transport processes that take place during hydrocarbon production from hydraulically fractured unconventional reservoirs are not well understood. As a result …
Constructing reliable data-driven models to predict well production performance (eg, estimated ultimate recovery, cumulative production, production curves, etc.) for …
A rigorous and efficient numerical method for simulation of shale gas production considering complex hydraulic and natural fracture geometries and multiple gas transport mechanisms …
This paper presents a multi-scale modeling of gas transport in shale where techniques from micro-to macro-scale (Molecular dynamic simulations, lattice Boltzmann and multi …
A physics-assisted deep learning model is presented to facilitate transfer learning in unconventional reservoirs by integrating the complementary strengths of physics-based and …
