Introduction to Tight Gas Reservoirs

2013
Tight gas reservoirs represent a significant portion of natural gas reservoirs worldwide. Tight gas sand is generally characterized as a formation with effective permeability less than 0.1 md (Law and Curtis 2002).

Analysis of Commingled Tight Gas Reservoirs

Proceedings of SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1996
Abstract This paper presents a method to match the production data of commingled tight gas reservoirs. A simple computer program is used to history match production data, estimate the individual OGIP and productivity of each layer, and forecast the total performance of the well.

Formation Damage in Tight Gas Reservoirs

SPE European Formation Damage Conference and Exhibition, 2015
Abstract The increased demand for more sources of clean energy such as natural gas from unconventional reservoirs has forced the industry to explore the more challenging tight gas reservoirs. Tight gas reservoirs constitute a significant proportion of the world's natural gas resource and offer great potential for future reserve growth ...

A model for gas transport in microfractures of shale and tight gas reservoirs

AIChE Journal, 2015
A model for gas transport in microfractures of shale and tight gas reservoirs is established. Slip flow and Knudsen diffusion are coupled together to describe general gas transport mechanisms, which include continuous flow, slip flow, transitional flow, and Knudsen diffusion.

Wettability of Tight and Shale Gas Reservoirs

2014
Abstract Abundant hydrocarbon resources in low-permeability formations are now accessible due to technological advances in multi-lateral horizontal drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing operations. The recovery of hydrocarbons is enhanced by the creation of extensive fracture networks.

A numerical study of performance for tight gas and shale gas reservoir systems

Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2009
Abstract Various analytical, semi-analytical, and empirical models have been proposed to characterize rate/pressure behavior as a function of time in tight/shale gas systems featuring a horizontal well with multiple hydraulic fractures.

Effect of Successional Reservoir Stimulation on the Production in Tight Gas Reservoir

2021
Hydraulic fracturing and acidizing are the primary ways of reservoir stimulation for tight sandstone gas reservoir. The supplement of formation energy and complex fracture network induced by stimulation are favorable contributors to increase production.

Elements of reservoir simulation for tight gas reservoirs with water influx

Journal of Geotechnology and Energy, 2021
At present, gas obtained from unconventional deposits plays an important role in the global economy as an energy factor. The simulation of the exploitation of this type of deposits is very complex and requires an individual approach for each case, which is extremely inspiring and interesting, therefore this article attempts to deal with the problem of ...

Petrophysics of Triple Porosity Tight Gas Reservoirs with a Link to Gas Productivity

SPE Western North American Region Meeting, 2011
Abstract Petrographie work on thin sections from rock samples collected in tight gas sandstones of the Western Canada Sedimentary basin (WCSB) shows that the sandstones are composed of intergranular, microfracture + slot, and isolated non-effective porosities.

Practicalities of Stimulation in Tight Gas Reservoir

Proceedings, 2012
Remaining development opportunities in the Southern Gas Basin of the North Sea are mostly confined to lower permeability sandstones and pose significant technical execution challenges and cost hurdles. Field operators have increasingly had to rely upon the adoption of multiple fractured, horizontal wells to achieve commercial rates, deploying ...
