A workflow for flow simulation in shale oil reservoirs: A case study in woodford shale [PDF]
Advances in Geo-Energy Research, 2021 In recent years, with new technologies of long horizontal wells and staged hydraulic fracturing, the development of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs (i.e., shale gas and shale oil) has gained significant momentum. Due to extremely low permeability, these unconventional formations cannot be produced economically without significant stimulation.

Quantitative Prediction of Natural Fractures in Shale Oil Reservoirs [PDF]
Geofluids, 2021 Natural fractures are the key factors controlling the enrichment of shale oil. It is of great significance to clarify the distribution of natural fractures to guide the selection of sweet spots for shale oil. Taking the Qing-1 Member shale oil reservoir in the northern Songliao Basin, China as an example, a new method considering the factors affecting ...

Enhanced oil recovery in shale reservoirs by gas injection [PDF]
Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering, 2015 The current available technique to produce shale oil and gas condensate is through primary depletion using horizontal wells with multiple transverse fractures. The oil recovery factor is only a few percent. There is a big prize to be claimed in terms of enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
