The past two decades have seen a tremendous focus by energy companies on the
development of shale gas resources in North America, resulting in an over-supply of natural …

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

The current focus on liquids-rich shale (LRS) plays in North America underscores the need
to develop reservoir engineering methods to analyze such reservoirs. Commercialization of …

Rate-transient analysis (RTA) of coalbed methane (CBM) wells is an on-going reservoir
engineering challenge because of the dynamic nature of coal reservoirs. During their …

The primary focus of the majority of current, and foreseeable, natural gas drilling within North
America is low-permeability liquid-rich gas and gas condensate reservoirs, where the liquid …

Due to complex pore structures and ultra-low permeability in unconventional gas reservoirs,
the flow consistency between the macro-flow in fracture network and the micro-flow or gas …

A comprehensive and precise analysis of shale gas production performance is crucial for
evaluating resource potential, designing a field development plan, and making investment …

Summary Recently, low-permeability (tight) gas condensate and oil reservoirs have been
the focus of exploitation by operators in North America. Multifractured horizontal wells …

The early-time performance of multi-fractured horizontal wells is mainly controlled by fracture
geometry, total effective area of the fractures, and conductivity of the primary fracture system …

Horizontal wells and hydraulic fracturing technologies are the only way that makes
commercial production from the low and ultra-low permeability unconventional plays …
