Hydraulic fractures connecting to the adjacent induced fracture network significantly promote
the productivity of unconventional gas reservoirs. Precise characterization of the fracture …

The potential for shale gas development and hydraulic fracturing to cause subsurface water
contamination has prompted a number of modeling studies to assess the risk. A significant …

Tight Carbonate reservoirs are regarded as one of the most complex reservoir formations
due to the heterogeneity and complexity of their mineral composition, pore structure, and …

Multiple gas transport mechanisms and geological parameters influence total gas
production in hydraulically-fractured organic-rich shale reservoirs. The absolute and relative …

Permeability is a critical parameter for evaluating unconventional shale or tight gas and oil
reservoirs such as the Montney Formation in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin …

Matrix permeability is a key factor in determining long term gas production from shale
reservoirs–requiring that it is determined under true reservoir conditions. We suggest a …

Natural fractures are pervasive in southern Sichuan Basin marine shales, China, and
provide a useful opportunity to try to understand subsurface fracture networks in shale …

Permeability anisotropy of shale and tight gas reservoirs is critical for applications in
unconventional gas recovery, but laboratory measurements are still limited. This paper …

Determining the nanodarcy gas permeability and other parameters of naturally and
hydraulically induced fractured shale formations by testing the pressure transmission of core …

Shale gas is becoming an important component of the global energy supply, with
permeability a critical controlling factor for long‐term gas production. Obvious deviation may …
