... Abstract Shale gas reservoir is comprised of highly heterogeneous porosity systems including hydraulic/secondary fractures, inorganic and organic matrix. Multiple non-Darcy flow mechanisms in the shale matrix further bring challenges for modeling. In this paper, we developed a framework...

... for the prediction of long-term performance and have limitations to improve our understandings of enhanced hydrocarbon recovery. In this paper, we present a multi-domain, multi-physics model, aiming to accurately simulate the fluid flow in shale gas reservoirs with more physics-based formulations. An idealized...

... that a reservoir depth is generally 500 ~ 3,000 m and the reservoir pressure is 5 ~ 30 MPa in shale gas reservoirs in North America ( Curtis 2002 ). Furthermore, in China, a reservoir depth is generally 3,000 ~ 6,000 m with up to 60MPa of a reservoir pressure ( Wang et al. 2011 ). Gas transport mechanisms in shale...

... the fields of stress and fluid flow in shale gas reservoirs. Several relationships between fracture closure and applied stress are incorporated in this model, based on the experimental data from literatures. Therefore, the stress dependency of shale natural fractures is quantified and modeled in its full...

.... Abstract Unconventional gas resources from tight and shale gas reservoirs have received great attention in the past decade and become the focus of petroleum industry. Shale gas reservoirs have specific characteristics, such as tight reservoir rock with nano-Darcy permeability. Multi-stage hydraulic...

... in such complex reservoirs, although there is a growing demand in the area of unconventional resource evaluation and predictions. In shale gas reservoirs, the hydrocarbon usually exists in several states in fracture, matrix, and organic matter. Aguilera et al. (2010) suggest that gas molecules trapped...

... effects into the mathematical model. Results of our model verification effort will be also presented. We will demonstrate model application to quantify hydraulic fractures and transient flow behavior in shale gas reservoirs. Abstract Unconventional gas resources from tight sand and shale gas...
