(2011-02-22)Water production is a challenge in production operations because it is generally costly to produce, treat, and it can hamper hydrocarbon production. This is especially true for gas wells in unconventional reservoirs like ...
-
(2013-09-27)Previously unattainable shale gas deposits have become accessible since the late 1990s using a technique called hydraulic fracturing — the injection of chemicals, water, and sand into subsurface shale to free extractable ...
-
(2017-12-11)The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of hydraulic fracturing stimulation for development of shale gas reservoirs. Particularly, the study considers the vertical planar fracture propagation and induced ...
-
(2009-05-15)Shale gas reservoirs are gaining importance in United States as conventional oil and gas resources are dwindling at a very fast pace. The purpose of this study is twofold. First aim is to help operators with simple screening ...
-
(2014-04-11)The United States regularly imports majority of the transportation oil, and several TCF of natural gas annually. Nevertheless, there is very large resource of natural gas in unconventional reservoirs, with over 2,200 TCF ...
-
(2021-12-07)Unconventional oil and gas reservoirs have low recovery rates and to increase productivity, hydraulic fracturing is used. Hydraulic fracturing allows increased flow of oil and gas to the well. The extended production from ...
-
(2016-05-27)In an attempt to maintain production levels during times of depressed pricing, some are exploring the practice of refracturing already hydraulically fractured wells currently within their operating portfolio. This study ...

(2010-10-12)During the past decade, the worldwide demand for energy has continued to increase at a rapid rate. Natural gas has emerged as a primary source of US energy. The technically recoverable natural gas resources in the United ...
-
(2014-08-11)As the energy demand is increasing constantly, sustainable energy resources are needed to meet this demand and enable economic stability. In order to attain this goal, researchers continue to develop new technologies and ...

(2010-07-14)methane and other higher order hydrocarbons, through C4, with interest in further developing reactions important to methane- and ethane-related chemistry. With the increased demand for energy and the declining conventional ...
-
(2010-01-14)The increasing interest and focus on unconventional reservoirs is a result of the industry's direction toward exploring alternative energy sources. It is due to the fact that conventional reservoirs are being depleted at ...
