The production from a hydraulically fractured unconventional well depends on the
stimulated permeability and its interaction with the naturally fractured background …

Closed-form solution-methods were applied to visualize the flow near hydraulic fractures at
high resolution. The results reveal that most fluid moves into the tips of the fractures …

The proper 3D estimation of pore pressure is a critical factor for a successful development of
shale reservoirs where the optimal drilling and fracing requires the constant knowledge of …

The objective is to present a new integrated workflow which leverages commonly available
drilling data from multiple wells to build reservoir models to be used for designing and …

Modelling unconventional reservoirs requires increasingly complex physics to describe the
phenomena that affect the performance and efficiency of horizontal wells. For example …

Investors are not happy. A recent article by a major newspaper again highlighted the issue
of 'underperforming'unconventional wells' production targets. It notes that financial …

Geoscience modelling poses many challenges due to the limited sampling and the
complexity of the phenomena that create the resulting rock and its properties. When adding …

Modeling unconventional reservoirs requires increasingly complex physics to capture and
describe the phenomena that affect the performance and efficiency of wells. This …

Geophysical attributes could contribute significantly to improving the estimation of the
distribution of natural fractures and reservoir stresses when used as input in integrated …

Pressure depletion caused by production of first well in section (parent well) generates
continuous changes in stress magnitude and orientation. Simplistic geomechanical models …
