Tight oil reservoirs are usually exploited using the long horizontal well and multi-stage
hydraulic fracturing technique. Meanwhile, post-fracturing shut-in has become a popular …

The ultimate oil recovery from liquid-rich unconventional reservoirs is less than ten percent,
thus a great interest in developing enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods that can increase …

Classical waterflooding methods which rely on water displacing oil are not plausible in
unconventional shale reservoirs because of the low permeability of such reservoirs because …

We present an assessment of the impact of low-salinity brine osmosis on oil recovery in
liquid-rich shale reservoirs. The paper includes:(1) membrane behavior of shales when …

We present an analysis of several multi-rate pressure falloff data following well stimulation in
the Utah FORGE enhanced geothermal system (EGS) injection well. The purpose of the …

The complexity, high cost, and potential environmental concerns of chemical enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) methods have diminished their field applications considerably. However …

In this paper, we will show that it is highly beneficial to model dual-porosity reservoirs using
matrix refinement (similar to the multiple interacting continua, MINC, of Preuss, 1985) for …

The ultimate oil recovery from liquid-rich unconventional reservoirs is less than ten percent,
thus a great interest in developing improved oil recovery (IOR) methods that can increase oil …

The objective is to present a matrix to identify environmental and social aspects which may
impact the initiation, assessment, approval of final investment decision and implementation …

The main objective of the thesis was to develop a working knowledge of the underlying
concepts for developing unconventional shale in the UAE Diyab formation. To achieve this …
