Beschreibung
This timely book begins with an overview of shale gas reservoir features such as natural fracture systems, multi-fractured horizontal wells, adsorption/desorption of methane, and non-linear flow within the reservoir. Geomechanical modelling, an aspect of importance in ultra-low permeability reservoirs, is also presented in detail.
Taking these complex features of shale reservoirs into account, the authors develop a numerical model, which is verified with field data using the history matching technique. Based on this model, the pressure transient and production characteristics of a fractured horizontal well in a shale gas reservoir are analysed with respect to reservoir and fracture properties. Methods for the estimation of shale properties are also detailed. Minifrac tests, rate transient tests (RTA), and type curve matching are used to estimate the initial pressure, permeability, and fracture half-length. Lastly, future technologies such as the technique of injecting CO2 intoshale reservoirs are presented.
The book will be of interest to industrial practitioners, as well as to academics and graduate students in the field of reservoir engineering.
Responds to the growing need for information on enhanced gas recovery for shale gas reservoirs Provides detailed methods for the evaluation of reservoir Presents field data to verify the proposed model for understanding reservoir behaviour Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
