Shale oil and gas primarily exist in nanoscale pore-fracture networks. Thus, it is essential to
clarify the flow behavior of hydrocarbon in confined nanopores. This paper summarizes …

In the last decade, numerous approaches, eg, analytical and semi-analytical pressure
solutions, production decline curve, reservoir-scale numerical models, have been used to …

The stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) with complex induced-fracture governs dominant
flow rates in unconventional reservoirs. The induced-fracture spacing and aperture greatly …

High-resolution images provide detailed information about pores whose characteristic sizes
are usually on the order of few nanometers to micrometers in shales, but it remains …

Fiber-laden fluid systems have been successfully applied for reorientation fracturing in tight
gas and shale gas reservoirs around the world. Although many successful cases have been …

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

The booming development and production of shale gas largely depends on extensive
application of water-based hydraulic fracturing treatments and primary pressure depletion …

Unconventional resource exploration has boosted US oil and gas production, which is
successfully by horizontal well drilling and hydraulic fracturing. The horizontal well with …

Stimulated shale reservoirs consist of kerogen, inorganic matter, secondary and hydraulic
fractures. The dispersed distribution of kerogen within matrices and complex gas flow …

This study applies the Lindenmayer system based on fractal theory to generate synthetic
fracture networks in hydraulically fractured wells. The applied flow model is based on …
