Most unconventional oil and gas reservoirs are known to have several natural fractures in
different orientations, which are consistent with the prevailing stresses when they were …

Conventional compositional simulators are usually difficult to interpret the different gas oil
ratio (GOR) from tight oil reservoirs, and this also indicates an unreliable prediction of …

Compositional reservoir simulation plays a vital role in the development of conventional and
unconventional reservoirs. Two major building blocks of compositional simulation are phase …

Many reports have presented that in tight formation, the flow mechanism differs from a
conventional reservoir, such as molecular diffusion, Pre-Darcy flow behavior, and stress …

This book deals with complex fluid characterization of oil and gas reservoirs, emphasizing
the importance of PVT parameters for practical application in reservoir simulation and …

Nanometer-pore characteristic of unconventional reservoirs significantly enlarges the impact
of the role that capillary pressure (pc) plays on the recovery mechanism. A growing number …

During past decades the shortage in the conventional energy supply and also global
warming have been two main concerns among nations worldwide. Shale oil reservoirs …

This chapter presents the effect of nanopore confinement on phase behavior and pressure-
volume-temperature (PVT) properties of unconventional reservoir fluids. The impacts of pore …

Numerous laboratory tests on the Northern American shale plays have observed a large
number of nanopores. Because of the pore-proximity effect, the vapor-liquid phase …

The upstream (exploration and production) end of the petroleum industry has experienced
tremendous success over the past fifteen years by employing innovative ways to drill and …
