With advancements in additive manufacturing, now 3D-printed core plugs can be duplicated
in order to replace natural rock samples. This can help us to control their parameters to be …

Compared with a conventional reservoir, the ultralow permeability in the Bakken Formation
makes it very challenging to perform normal waterflooding or gasflooding operations.“ …

Abstract 3D printing is an emerging technology which can offer valuable insight into rock
characterization and theoretical model verification due to the sample reproducibility. Also, it …

Oil production grew significantly from 0.2 million barrels per day (bpd) to 1.1 million bpd in
the Bakken petroleum system from 2009 to 2014. A large volume of associated gas (1.6 …

The impact of rock heterogeneity on the performance of cyclic gas injection is a key element
in tight oil reservoir modeling. Dependency of relative permeability on saturation history …

Abstract The Bakken Petroleum System (BPS) is defined as the stratigraphic sequence of
rocks, in order of deposition, from the Upper Three Forks Formation through the Upper …

The Bakken petroleum system is one of the largest unconventional plays in the United
States, with over 10,000 wells drilled in the past 10 years. The main target of this drilling has …

The aim of this study is to select an appropriate method for CH4 adsorption in organic
nanopores for shale‐gas development. Molecular dynamics (MD) and grand canonical …

Advances in horizontal well drilling and multistage hydraulic fracturing make it a reality to
unlock the tremendous oil resources in the Bakken Formation of the Williston Basin …

Over 40 rock samples were obtained from six Bakken wells which penetrate through the
major oil pay including two shale intervals: Upper and Lower Bakken, and two tight intervals …
