Economic appraisal of shale gas plays in Continental Europe

Applied Energy, 2013
Abstract This study evaluates the economic feasibility of five emergent shale gas plays on the European Continent. Each play is assessed using a uniform field development plan with 100 wells drilled at a rate of 10 wells/year in the first decade. The gas production from the realized wells is monitored over a 25 year life cycle.

Mechanical characteristics and factors controlling brittleness of organic-rich continental shales

Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract Brittleness is an essential parameter in the evaluation of wellbore stability and hydraulic fracturing design of shale reservoirs. It is an inherent geomechanical property controlled by the mineral composition, sedimentary structure, and geological condition. However, traditional brittleness evaluation methods based on the elastic parameters

Fractal Analysis of Shale Pore Structure of Continental Gas Shale Reservoir in the Ordos Basin, NW China

Energy & Fuels, 2016
Describing the characteristics of shale pore structure is vital for the assessment of shale reservoir, which has significant influence on the storage and seepage mechanisms of gas shale. To profoundly understand the shale pore structure characteristics of continental shale reservoir, fractal analysis was performed on 45 continental shale samples from ...

Well-Log Based Evaluation of Gas Contents in Continental Shale Formation

SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts 2015, 2015
Shale gas, as an unconventional natural gas resource, has become an important target in the oil and gas exploration and development industries. Aiming to the continental heterogeneous shale formation in YC area, the shale gas content is measured and the factor affecting the prediction of gas contents is analyzed.

Nanoscale mechanical property of marine and continental organic kerogen in shale

Chinese Chemical Letters, 2020
Abstract Kerogen is known as an important organic part for absorbing and forming shale gas whose absorption function, especially mechanical and tribological properties, has not been fully revealed. Here, we use Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis to reveal the chemical structure of kerogen.

Anomalous Boron Content of Two Continental Shales in Eastern Colorado

SEPM Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1970
ABSTRACT Boron content and clay mineralogy were determined on samples from a continental facies of the Fountain Formation of Permo-Pennsylvanian age and a pre-Fountain fossil soil developed during late Mississippian time. All samples from both units were found to contain far more boron than amounts previously proposed as indicative of shales deposited ...

Experimental Study on CO2 Fracturing of Continental Shale with Dense Laminas

58th U.S. Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium
ABSTRACT: Using CO2 to increase shale oil production is a practical requirement to ensure energy security and reduce carbon emissions. Therefore, studying the fracture propagation mechanics of CO2 fracturing is of great significance.
