In the last decade, numerous approaches, eg, analytical and semi-analytical pressure
solutions, production decline curve, reservoir-scale numerical models, have been used to …

The influence of geological and engineering factors results in the complex production
characteristics of shale gas wells. The productivity evaluation method is effective to analyze …

Gas flow behavior in porous media with micro-and nanoscale pores has always been
attracted great attention. Gas transport mechanism in such pores is a complex problem …

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

Nanoscale porosity and permeability play important roles in the characterization of shale-
gas reservoirs and predicting shale-gas-production behavior. The gas adsorption and stress …

Multiple gas transport mechanisms and geological parameters influence total gas
production in hydraulically-fractured organic-rich shale reservoirs. The absolute and relative …

With the production of hydrocarbons from reservoirs, fractures will gradually close, resulting
in dynamic conductivities along the fracture. The main objective of this study is to develop a …

During hydraulic fracturing, secondary fractures are created around hydraulic fractures and
serve as important channels connecting the shale matrix and the hydraulic fractures. We …

We assemble a multiscale physical model of gas production in a mudrock (shale). We then
tested our model on 45 horizontal gas wells in the Barnett with 12–15 years on production …

Apparent liquid permeability (ALP) in ultra-confined permeable media is primarily governed
by the pore confinement and fluid–rock interactions. A new ALP model is required to predict …
