A comprehensive textbook presenting techniques for the analysis and characterization of shale plays
Significant reserves of hydrocarbons cannot be extracted using conventional methods. Improvements in techniques such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have increased access to unconventional hydrocarbon resources, ushering in the ?shale boom? and disrupting the energy sector.
Unconventional Hydrocarbon Resources: Techniques for Reservoir Engineering Analysis?covers the geochemistry, petrophysics, geomechanics, and economics of unconventional shale oil plays. The text uses a step-by-step approach to demonstrate industry-standard workflows for calculating resource volume and optimizing the extraction process.
Volume highlights include:
- Methods for rock and fluid characterization of unconventional shale plays
- A workflow for analyzing wells with stimulated reservoir volume regions
- An unconventional approach to understanding of fluid flow through porous media
- A comprehensive summary of discoveries of massive shale resources worldwide
- Data from Eagle Ford, Woodford, Wolfcamp, and The Bakken shale plays
- Examples, homework assignments, projects, and access to supplementary online resources
- Hands-on teaching materials for use in petroleum engineering software applications
