The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Shale Reservoir-Centric Completions [PDF]
In North America, the transition from more conventional reservoirs into tight, basin-centered gas and now source shales has caused the industry to change the way reservoir performance is being assessed, measured, and documented. Historically in conventional reservoirs the reservoir quality was carefully examined on a well by well basis to determine ...

SHALE AS HYDROCARBON RESERVOIRS [PDF]
Nowadays, shale plays a role as hydrocarbon producing rock. Due to its unusual properties as a reservoir, shale is classified as an unconventional reservoir. Among these properties are the relatively low permeability (0.1 mD or less) and the relatively low porosity (10% or less).

Characterizing Natural Fractures and Their Interactions with Hydraulically Induced Fractures [PDF]
Natural fractures are preexisting micro-cracks and fissures that can have a critical impact on hydraulic fracture treatments in shales. Most shale formations contain natural fractures, but the characteristics of these natural fractures can vary ...

Gas flow in shale reservoirs [PDF]
This study incorporates various gas transport mechanisms in shale nanopores with nonlinear and non-equilibrium gas adsorptiondesorption kinetics. We formulate a simplified model for matrix and hydraulic fractures to study the dynamic production performance of multi-stage fractured horizontal wells in shale gas reservoirs.

Nanoporous Gas Transport in Shale Gas Reservoirs
In more conventional gas reservoirs, gas flow is simple, uncomplicated, and described by simple flux pressure drop expressions. In shale reservoirs however, this relationship takes the form of a more complex and multiscale flow process involving special flow mechanisms.

Borehole wall tensile caving instability in the horizontal well of deep brittle shale
Introduction: With the increasing drilling depth of shale formation, downhole collapse is a frequent occurrence, which often manifests as borehole wall caving.
