Hydraulic fractures connecting to the adjacent induced fracture network significantly promote
the productivity of unconventional gas reservoirs. Precise characterization of the fracture …

Typical meter-scale lithofacies cycles from the Wolfcamp A in the Delaware and Midland
Basins comprise basal carbonate facies overlain by calcareous or siliceous mudrocks …

Organic-rich and carbonate-rich Eagle Ford Shale is a self-sourced oil and gas reservoir
with little alteration of gas chemistry as might be affected by petroleum expulsion and …

The combined effects of oil and gas production and saltwater disposal in stacked reservoirs
can result in poroelastic-stress changes that affect fault stability and induced seismicity but …

Porosity is a fundamental petrophysical parameter in shale gas reservoirs that governs the
space for hydrocarbon storage, and directly determines the free gas amount and absorbed …

Determination of total organic carbon (TOC) is a key method of characterizing shale
reservoirs. The conventional method for TOC determination using cores from shale …

A comprehensive regional investigation of the Eagle Ford Shale linking productivity to
