(2019-04-03)According to the 2015 Energy Information Administration (EIA) global assessment (EIA 2015), Argentina ranks third among countries in shale-gas resources and fourth in shale-oil resources. The Vaca Muerta formation in the ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This thesis presents the development of a semi-analytical technique that can be used to estimate the gas-in-place for volumetric gas reservoirs. This new methodology utilizes plotting functions, plots, extrapolations, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Previous experiments - injecting pure CO2 into carbonate cores - showed that the process is a win-win technology, sequestrating CO2 while recovering a significant amount of hitherto unrecoverable natural gas that could ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Tight gas reservoirs are those reservoirs where the matrix has a low permeability range (k < 0.1 md). The literature documents laboratory experiments under restressed conditions that show stress dependent rock properties ...
-
(2015-05-12)Adsorbed hydrocarbons, stored along the walls of kerogen pores and capillaries of organic-rich shale, are generally considered unrecoverable until desorption at low pressure is induced. Consequently, production from these ...
-
(2012-11-28)Markets have always changed in response to either exogenous or endogenous shocks. Many large events have occurred in financial and energy markets the last ten years. This dissertation examines market behavior and volatility ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Normally in tight gas sands, water production is not a problem but in such low permeability reservoirs it is difficult to produce gas at commercial flow rates. Since water is more viscous than gas, very little water is ...
-
(2020-01-08)This study investigates the relative influences of rock properties (porosity, clay content, grain density, and water saturation) on sediment dewatering in the interests of improving understanding of soaking enhanced oil ...
-
According to the US Energy Information Administration, over 50% of the oil and natural gas produced in the US came from hydraulically fractured wells in 2015. While the economic and geopolitical benefits of this new industry ...
-
(2011-02-22)Improvements to gas turbine efficiency depend closely on cooling technologies, as efficiency increases with turbine inlet temperature. To aid in this process, simulations that consider real engine conditions need to be ...
-
(2020-04-07)With a high species diversity, novel ecosystem functioning, and distinct topographic features, tropical forests are home to vegetation that is highly specialized and adapted to its environment. While this has resulted in ...
-
The new operational conditions associated with the high luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN requires an upgrade of the muon system in the forward region of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector. ...
-
(2019-03-21)Kerogen is a micro-porous amorphous solid, which consist the major component of the organic matter scattered in the potentially lucrative shale formations hosting shale gas. Deeper understanding of the way kerogen porosity ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The petroleum industry commonly uses single-layer models to characterize and forecast long-term production in tight gas reservoir systems. However, most tight gas reservoirs are layered systems where the permeability and ...

(2013-12-02)Shale gas has emerged as one of the leading energy developments in the United States. Production has risen from roughly 0.9 trillion cubic feet (TCF) in 2006 to 4.8 TCF in 2010. Shale gas now encompasses 23% of U.S. natural ...
