..., ExtraTrees and neural network were employed to optimize well completion in Montney formation. The objective was to create a robust predictive model capturing all the effective operational well parameters (features) capable of optimizing the first 12 months cumulative of equivalent well production. Special...

... interfacial tension between crude oil and the stimulation fluids and altering the mixed wettability of the formation rock to a more water-wet state. Additionally, the fabric of the Montney formation contains clays, which displays osmotic membrane characteristics in the presence of high salinity gradients...

... Abstract The Montney Formation stretches from southwestern Alberta to northeast British Columbia in Canada, and is one of the largest and most prolific shale plays in North America. The Montney Formation is also unique because it has conventional, over-pressured gas and an over-pressured...

... (lower Montney Formation) is considered. This is a horizontal well with eight fracture stages. A representative 2D model is constructed which is characterized by 17 parameters which include relative permeability curves, capillary pressure, geomechanical effects, fracture half-length, fracture...

... Abstract Interest in the unconventional shale gas plays continues to grow in Western Canada. The Montney formation found in North Eastern British Columbia can be particularly challenging due to drilling in the Canadian Foothills. Wells in the area are known for deep, hard, abrasive...

... Abstract Pore and pore-throat blocking materials may have a negative effect on reservoir quality, as has been recently determined for the low-permeability, hydrocarbon bearing portions of the Montney Formation. Some of these materials, such as salt and bitumen, may be extractable using...

... Abstract The Montney Formation, a tight unconventional reservoir in Western Canada, has been explored for the past two decades and over the last 10 years has moved towards being a primary exploration target. Qualitative and quantitative petrophysical analysis of the Montney Formation has always...

... period with hyperbolic decline during boundary-dominated flow. In the present work, this simplified method is reviewed and applied to almost 90 wells producing from the Montney formation in N.E. British Columbia, Canada. The vast majority of these wells exhibit linear flow for extended periods of time...
