Book excerpt: Rate-transient analysis (RTA) is now one of the most important methods for reservoir and hydraulic fracture characterization used in the petroleum industry for unconventional gas and light oil reservoirs. RTA is also used as the basis for generating a production forecast. However, RTA is based primarily on analytical models that were developed for conventional reservoirs with many simplifying assumptions that often don't apply to unconventional reservoirs. Unconventional Gas and Light Oil Reservoir Rate-Transient Analysis: Volume 1 - Fundamentals delivers a critical knowledge gap to help practicing reservoir and production engineers understand the unique differences in rate-transient analysis for today's unconventional reservoirs. Starting with the fundamentals, engineers first understand the basic flow regimes and analysis methods along with the unique reservoir properties of unconventional assets. Then, the chapters progress to more advanced topics such as how to modify and apply RTA methods for each instance of shale oil/gas, coalbed methane, and tight shale oil/gas along with transforming these modified methods into higher quality production forecasting, with emphasis on analytical and semi-analytical methods. Supported by many real-world field examples covering both hydraulic fracturing and unconventional reservoirs to learn from with questions and answers to practice, Unconventional Gas and Light Oil Reservoir Rate-Transient Analysis: Volume 1 - Fundamentals supplies today's petroleum engineers with a more intelligent approach to today's more complex reservoirs. Improve reservoir flow-rate workflows specific to unconventional oil and gas reservoirs as well as complex hydraulic fracturing projects Authored by leading researcher and expert in unconventional reservoir RTA Generate stronger production forecasts with guidelines and field examples on how to deal with data uncertainties, poor data quality, and operational upsets

Book excerpt: This book provides a succinct overview on the application of rate and pressure transient analysis in unconventional petroleum reservoirs. It begins by introducing unconventional reservoirs, including production challenges, and continues to explore the potential benefits of rate and pressure analysis methods. Rate transient analysis (RTA) and pressure transient analysis (PTA) are techniques for evaluating petroleum reservoir properties such as permeability, original hydrocarbon in-place, and hydrocarbon recovery using dynamic data. The brief introduces, describes and classifies both techniques, focusing on the application to shale and tight reservoirs. Authors have used illustrations, schematic views, and mathematical formulations and code programs to clearly explain application of RTA and PTA in complex petroleum systems. This brief is of an interest to academics, reservoir engineers and graduate students.

Book excerpt: Reservoir Engineering of Conventional and Unconventional Petroleum Resources is a practical guide and handbook for engineers and geoscientists. It is also a complete textbook for teaching of reservoir engineering courses with exercises in each chapter. The sources and applications of basic rock properties are presented. Prediction of PVT properties from correlations and equations of state, and laboratory measurements of same properties from fluid samples are discussed. These basic data are applied in material balance analyses, volumetric calculation of hydrocarbons-in-place and reserves, and analyses of reservoir performance using case histories. Production forecasts for conventional and unconventional reservoirs using Arps' decline equations in decline curve analyses (DCA) are presented. The applications of modified Arps' decline equations coupled with transient flow models in rate transient analyses (RTA) are illustrated. Dr. Ezekwe presents fundamental equations and methods for pressure transient analysis (PTA) for fractured and unfractured wells in conventional reservoirs. This is accompanied with well test analyses in unconventional reservoirs using diagnostic fracture injection tests (DFIT). Secondary recovery methods focused on waterflooding, gasflooding, and low salinity waterflooding are demonstrated. Enhanced oil recovery methods are discussed. Dr. Ezekwe recommends experience-based practical procedures for geologic modeling, reservoir characterization, reservoir simulation, and reservoir management. Fundamental economic decision criteria including profitability index, net present value, rate of return are demonstrated with examples.

Book excerpt: In recent years, production decline-curve analysis has become the most widely used tool in the industry for oil and gas reservoir production analysis. However, most curve analysis is done by computer today, promoting a "black-box" approach to engineering and leaving engineers with little background in the fundamentals of decline analysis. Advanced Production Decline Analysis and Application starts from the basic concept of advanced production decline analysis, and thoroughly discusses several decline methods, such as Arps, Fetkovich, Blasingame, Agarwal-Gardner, NPI, transient, long linear flow, and FMB. A practical systematic introduction to each method helps the reservoir engineer understand the physical and mathematical models, solve the type curves and match up analysis, analyze the processes and examples, and reconstruct all the examples by hand, giving way to master the fundamentals behind the software. An appendix explains the nomenclature and major equations, and as an added bonus, online computer programs are available for download. Understand the most comprehensive and current list of decline methods, including Arps, Fetkovich, Blasingame, and Agarwal-Gardner Gain expert knowledge with principles, processes, real-world cases and field examples Includes online downloadable computer programs on Blasingame decline type curves and normalized pseudo-pressure of gas wells

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for energy is increasing and but the production from conventional reservoirs is declining quickly. This requires an economically and technically feasible source of energy for the coming years. Among some alternative future energy solutions, the most reasonable source is from unconventional reservoirs. As the name “unconventional” implies, different and challenging approaches are required to characterize and develop these resources. This Special Issue covers some of the technical challenges for developing unconventional energy sources from shale gas/oil, tight gas sand, and coalbed methane.

Book excerpt: As unconventional reservoir activity grows in demand, reservoir engineers relying on history matching are challenged with this time-consuming task in order to characterize hydraulic fracture and reservoir properties, which are expensive and difficult to obtain. Assisted History Matching for Unconventional Reservoirs delivers a critical tool for today’s engineers proposing an Assisted History Matching (AHM) workflow. The AHM workflow has benefits of quantifying uncertainty without bias or being trapped in any local minima and this reference helps the engineer integrate an efficient and non-intrusive model for fractures that work with any commercial simulator. Additional benefits include various applications of field case studies such as the Marcellus shale play and visuals on the advantages and disadvantages of alternative models. Rounding out with additional references for deeper learning, Assisted History Matching for Unconventional Reservoirs gives reservoir engineers a holistic view on how to model today’s fractures and unconventional reservoirs. Provides understanding on simulations for hydraulic fractures, natural fractures, and shale reservoirs using embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) Reviews automatic and assisted history matching algorithms including visuals on advantages and limitations of each model Captures data on uncertainties of fractures and reservoir properties for better probabilistic production forecasting and well placement
