The most common fallacy in the quest for the optimum stimulation treatment in shale plays
across the country is to treat them all just like the Barnett Shale. There is no doubt that the …

Different from oil properties, gas properties (gas formation factor, viscosity, and Z-factor, etc.)
have nonlinear behaviors with pressure changes. However, many scholars use the average …

Reservoir simulators remain essential tools for improved reservoir management in order to
optimize hydraulic fracturing design in unconventional low permeability reservoirs. However …

A numerical method is employed to investigate the fluid flowing dynamics in fractured
reservoirs in this paper. Owing to the multi-scales and strong heterogeneity, description of …

A shale gas reservoir, as a special type of gas reservoir, is significantly different from a
conventional gas reservoir. Gas flow in shale involves a complex process of multiple flow …

The discrete fracture-matrix model (DFM) technique has contributed to the rapid
development of fracture modeling. In terms of vertical well modeling, however, the current …

Maximizing profit with minimal costs is a top priority in the oil and gas industry. With the
dynamics of today's oil market, finding economically feasible tools to maximizing the …

This paper addresses the evolution of advanced well completions as well as plans to
develop future intelligent well completions in Saudi Aramco fields. Potential associated …

In reservoir simulation, the most known well-reservoir coupling technique is based on the
Peaceman's equivalent radius, which is applied on the productivity index computation, that …

Wellbore flow and its coupling with porous media has been an active field of research,
mainly because wellbore hydraulics (especially in complex geometry wells, like horizontal or …
