... Abstract Contemporary thinking on the origin of "basin centered" gas highlights the importance of proximity of mature source rocks to many low permeability gas reservoirs. The quality of gas charge determines the efficiency of the system; this is largely dependent upon source rock...

... For example, most tight gas wells currently drilled in the U.S. East Texas geographical area are vertical and horizontal wells, and the tight gas reservoir consists of sandstones with gas permeabilities typically in the order of 0.005 to 0.020 mD (5 to 20 μD). Large fracture stimulations...

... and size and acts as a trap for original hydrocarbon accumulations. The sand lenses parameters such as length and width can play important role in controlling gas recovery from hydraulically fractured tight gas reservoirs. This study shows the effect of drainage pattern of the lenticular sand bodies...

... Abstract The paper contributes to the ongoing efforts of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) to improve gas production and supply in view of increasing demand and diminishing conventional gas reservoirs in the region. The conditions of unconventional gas reservoirs with potentially...

...

... Abstract The Miqrat Formation (Cambrian) of North Oman is a deep, tight (low permeability) gas reservoir that was deposited in an arid to semi-arid continental setting. It is dominated by finely interbedded, red-brown shales interstratified with muddy, micaceous, fine-grained sandstones...

... Abstract History matching is challenging for low permeability gas reservoirs because of significant differences between the static properties in a geostatistical model and in-situ properties measured from well testing. The literature has documented that reduction of in-situ permeability due...

... Abstract BP’s Khazzan-Makarem (KM) appraisal project is located in Central Oman. BP committed to appraise four deep tight gas reservoirs and has drilled seven wells to date. An Extended Well Test (EWT) facility is designed to provide a long term (multi-month) flow test of those wells. Basic...
