... Abstract To achieve economic production from shale gas reservoirs hydraulic fracturing is required. This stimulation technology facilitates the interconnection of the multiple pore systems with the wellbore. Particularly, shale gas reservoirs exhibit a dual porosity system linked to the free...

... Abstract Unconventional shale gas reservoirs around the world have been proven to store gigantic volumes of natural gas. It has been demonstrated with both laboratory and mathematical work that these reservoirs can be represented by a quintuple porosity formulation plus an additional storage...

... in tight-shale gas reservoirs, Nobakht and Clarkson (2012a) assumed t ehs to be ¼ for constant-rate flow and ½ for constant-flowing pressure ( Nobakht and Clarkson 2012b ). Abstract When it comes to forecasting production from shale plays that are subject to multistage hydraulic fracturing, most...

... In shale gas reservoirs, natural gas is generated from the organic matter that has been buried along with the inorganic matter, and stored within the organic matter, inter-granular pores or the secondary porosity generated by fractures. Compositional variation (organic matter content, mineral...

... illustrate that Knudsen diffusion is not suitable for shale gas reservoirs. This is because Knudsen number is generally less than 10, especially for such shale gas reservoirs with higher initial reservoir pressure. Gas moving through shale matrix pores to fractures is mainly divided into two forms...

... and structure. Adsorbed Gas Abstract Uncertainties in basic petrophysical parameters in shale gas reservoirs are discussed in this paper. These parameters include porosity, permeability, gas adsorption, water saturation and TOC. Current available methods to evaluate shale gas petrophysical properties...

... Abstract Latest advances in shale gas reservoir simulation and modeling have made it possible to optimize and enhance the production from organic rich shale gas reservoirs. Reservoir simulator is no longer used with a simple description of the complex shale gas reservoirs, but with multiple...

... In general, shale gas reservoirs are also gas generating rocks which have matrix heterogeneities including variations in rock wettability and thus relative permeability. The solid organic materials in the rock should form non-uniform hydrocarbon-wet regions. Connected hydrocarbon-wet regions may...

... Abstract Shale gas reservoirs have become a significant source of gas supply in North America owing to the advancement of drilling and stimulation techniques. Long horizontal wells completed with multiple-fracturing stages (MFHW) are the most popular method for exploiting shale gas reservoirs...
