Unconventional Oil and Gas Resources

Exploitation and Development

Herausgeber: Ahmed, Usman; Meehan, D Nathan

Beschreibung

This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the latest advances in the exploitation and development of unconventional resources, with an emphasis on shale. The text addresses all aspects of the process, from data mining and accounting to drilling, completion, stimulation, production, and environmental issues. It offers in-depth coverage of sub-surface measurements (geological, geophysical, petrophysical, geochemical, and geomechanical) and their interpretation. It discusses the use of microseismic, fiber optic, and tracer reservoir monitoring technologies and JewelSuite(TM) modeling software. It also explores future trends in reservoir technologies.
