Tight Oil Reservoirs: Characterization, Modeling, and Field Development

Unconventional reservoirs have gained a permanent position in the oil and gas industry, but petroleum engineers still rely on conventional resources and make assumptions. Unconventional Reservoir Engineering Series was created to bring a powerful suite of volumes for today's engineer, with each volume devoted to a specific unconventional resource. Each volume is structured to: Introduce the resource Explain the importance in the market Show the benefits of the resource through latest research Provide details/protocol how to evaluate and develop the resource Give case studies and practice questions to gain practicality The first volume in the series, Tight Oil Reservoirs, delivers a full spectrum of reservoir engineering guidelines so that the engineer can focus on every stage of development specific to tight oil. Covering characterization, micro- and nano-scale modeling, drilling horizontally, completing hydraulic fracturing, and field development, each section includes case studies, practice exercises, and future references for even deeper understanding. Rounding out with coverage on field economics and remaining challenges, Unconventional Reservoir Engineering Series Volume I: Tight Oil Reservoirs puts control in the engineer's hands who are ready to truly learn more about optimizing unconventional resources. Supports the petroleum engineer with a structured table of contents focused on one unconventional resource, making research and solutions easier to findCovers the full spectrum of reservoir engineering including modern research, development, and field developmentApplies practicality with case studies, exercises, and references included in every chapter INDICE: 1.
