... Abstract Aimed at sharing the unconventional wisdom gained from a hydraulic fracturing monitoring case study in the Montney tight gas play, the work showcases the ability of 4D modeling of collective behaviors of microseismic events to chase the frac fluid and navigate the spatiotemporal...

... is then applied to experimental data of tight gas and shale gas reservoirs. For the case of tight gas reservoirs, Mesaverde sandstone data from the United States Basins are analyzed. For the shale gas case, Duvernay formation in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin is studied. Laboratory measured permeability...

... Abstract Tight formations are characterized by permeabilities equal to or less than 0.1 md. Due to these low permeability values, tight gas reservoirs have been economically produced through the implementation of multi-stage hydraulic fracturing. This operation requires a proper stimulation...

... Abstract Microbes in unconventional gas operations can conceivably contribute to (i) degradation of polymers in hydraulic fracturing fluid, (ii) well plugging, limiting gas flow and (iii) souring and corrosion due to activity of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB). Flowback waters from a tight gas...

... inorganic materials. We conduct comparative and systematic imbibition experiments on ten binary core plugs from the Montney tight gas formation, which is an enormous tight gas fairway in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Both contact angle and imbibition data indicate that the formation has...

... Abstract The Monteith Formation is an important tight gas reservoir in the Deep Basin, Alberta, and consists of a progradational succession of shallow marine sediments, non-marine carbonaceous and coaly, coastal plain facies, and coarse-grained fluvial deposits, from base to top, respectively...
