Digital geophones and exploration of tight oil
SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts 2014, 2014Geophones are key instruments used for seismic data acquisition, and the quality of seismic data acquired for prospecting depends directly on their performance. With the development of geophysical prospecting technologies and high-resolution exploration requirements, especially in tight marl oil exploration, an increased demand on the accuracy and ...

An oil-free gas-tight compressor
Journal of Scientific Instruments, 1951A new non-contaminating piston-type compressor is described. A highly flexible rubber diaphragm behind the piston acts as a gas-tight gland and also separates the lubricated parts which drive and guide the piston from the space swept out by the piston itself, in which there is no fluid lubricant.

Is US Tight Oil a 'Ponzi Scheme'?
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019As US oil and gas share prices languish, there is some nagging concern about the financial health of the industry. Despite turning the world’s largest importer of crude oil into a global exporter, questions linger about profitability and financial leverage – some skeptics have gone so far as to ask if the industry is a “Ponzi Scheme.” Moreover, as oil ...

Brittleness characteristics of tight oil siltstones
Applied Geophysics, 2018Rock brittleness directly affects reservoir fracturing and its evaluation is essential for establishing fracturing conditions prior to reservoir reforming. Dynamic and static brittleness data were collected from siltstones of the Qingshankou Formation in Songliao Basin. The brittle–plastic transition was investigated based on the stress–strain relation.

Optimizing the Development of Tight Oil Formations
SPE/EAGE European Unconventional Resources Conference and Exhibition, 2014Abstract Substantial hydrocarbon reserves remain trapped in reservoirs that are characterized as tight, oil-wet, and fractured. The aforementioned reservoir characteristics are typical to shale formations, and significantly degrade hydrocarbon recovery efficiency because of well productivity, in addition to reservoir, capillary and sweep

Strategic Delineation of a Tight Oil Play
SPE Unconventional Resources Conference, 2014Abstract This paper describes a comprehensive methodology to rank drilling locations in a very large, unconventional tight-oil area based on both surface and subsurface characteristics. A North American case study is presented. Operators entering new prospect areas with little well control must make decisions on locating ...

Evaluation of Enhanced Oil Recovery Application in Tight-Oil Formations
2021The rapid decline rates and low oil recovery factor (typically less than 10% of the original oil in place) of primary production are well-known challenges in the development of tight-oil formations. Several enhanced-oil-recovery studies and field trials have been conducted with promising results in these formations, however, key oil-recovery mechanisms
