.... This challenge is even greater when dealing with production from unconventional formations. This paper presents a methodology to model the production performance of a well producing from an unconventional oil or gas formation. Emphasis is placed on the use of readily-available information to production...

... Abstract The presence of preexisting fractures and the need to place multiple hydraulic fractures in relatively close proximity from each other make stimulating unconventional formations a challenge. This paper experimentally reviews the geomechanical factors governing the hydraulic fracture...

...Conventional vs. Unconventional Formations Abstract It would have been difficult, if not impossible, to have been working in the oil and gas industry in recent years, without having heard of hydraulic fracturing and the revolution that has taken place using this technique when combined...
