... the SRV and hence the EUR for a shale reservoir using seismic data, flow and geomechanical simulation. The backbone of our methodology is seismic inversion coupled with geomechanical simulation. We apply our technique to data acquired from the Barnett shale. In this work, we first use 3D seismic...

These case histories include before and after reservoir production matching with fracture half-length and effective conductivity calculations along with the diagnostic analysis of new and existing perforation coverage, diversion...

... reservoirs often show steep declines in oil and condensate production as well as anomalous changes in fluid composition. Liquid-rich shale (LRS) reservoirs such as the Eagle Ford Shale and the northern Barnett Shale have shown huge potential to produce liquid hydrocarbons and it is desirable to maximize...

... shale flakes that migrate and clog fracture networks. A laboratory investigation was performed to understand how excessive proppant embedment caused by the shale-water interaction impairs shale fracture conductivity. The experiments were conducted using Barnett shale samples with representative rock...

This paper is to experimentally investigate the impact of water saturation effects on Barnett shale's geomechanical properties (Young's modulus, E and Poisson's ratio, ν and uniaxial compressive strength (UCS)). Nineteen Barnett shale cores (satisfied with ASTM standard) were first partially saturated...

Also, using sensitivity analysis on the predictive model, improvements in the current fracture designs and completion schemes in Barnett shale are made. The database is examined from different aspects using various data...
