Recently, exploration operations for gas wells target deep reservoirs, where the temperature
and pressure are very high. High temperature (more than 200° C) and pressure (more than …

With production from gas/condensate reservoirs, the flowing bottomhole pressure of the
production well decreases. When the flowing bottomhole pressure decreases below the …

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 …

This paper presents the results of integrating microseismic fracture mapping with numerical
production modeling of fracture networks in the Barnett shale. Microseismic fracture …

Fracturing-fluid loss into the formation can potentially damage hydrocarbon production in
shale or other tight reservoirs. Well shut-ins are commonly used in the field to dissipate the …

Wettability of two types of sandstone cores, Berea (permeability on the order of 600 md), and
a reservoir rock (permeability on the order of 10 md), is altered from liquid-wetting to …

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 …

CO 2 injection has been recently proposed as an efficient method for oil recovery from shale
reservoirs. However, significant amount of shale oil is still remaining in oil reservoirs after …

Condensate and water banking around gas condensate wells result in vital well
deliverability issues. Wettability alteration of near wellbore region to gas wetting condition is …

Nanotechnology has the potential to transform EOR mechanisms and processes. At present
there are two major nanotechnology paradigms derived from mechanical engineering and …
