This paper provides a comprehensive review on the application of proppants to maintain
fracture permeability over the lifetime of a well based on published observations from …

Recent advancements in technologies to produce natural gas from shales at economic rates
has revealed new horizons for hydrocarbon exploration and development worldwide. The …

Shale reservoirs are extensively exploited using hydraulic fracturing, which forms multiple
cracks that connect with the existing natural fractures to create a continuous path for the gas …

When using wireline log to characterize formation properties for an area we often run into
incomplete datasets. One way to address this lack of data is to create synthetic curves to use …

Shale gas reservoirs are generally exploited through horizontal drilling and hydraulic
fracturing. Petrophysical and geomechanical parameters help to determine horizontal well …

A methodology is demonstrated to estimate brittleness coefficient and in-situ stress from well
log data linking post-stack seismic data in the unconventional Raghavapuram Shale …

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) storage and sequestration in unconventional shale resources has
been attracting interest since last couple of years due to the very unique characteristics of …

Precise estimation of total organic carbon (TOC) is extremely important for the successful
characterization of an unconventional shale reservoir. Indirect traditional continuous TOC …

Due to complexities in geologic structure, heterogeneity, and insufficient borehole
information, shale formation faces challenges in accurately estimating the elastic properties …

Accurate and precise identification of lithological facies is vital to understand geological
variation in a proven reservoir. Four specific different machine learning (ML) classification …
