Unconventional Reservoir Rate-Transient Analysis: Volume One - Fundamentals, Analysis Methods and Workflow, provides a long-overdue comprehensive review of RTA methods to help practicing petroleum engineers and geoscientists understand how to confidently apply RTA to tight reservoirs exhibiting single-phase flow of oil and gas. A review of these methods as applied to more complex unconventional reservoir/fluid types is reserved for Volume Two. Starting with the fundamentals, Volume One provides practitioners with an overview of the basic concepts used in RTA, such as flow-regime identification and application of straight-line analysis, type-curve analysis, and model history-matching approaches that are applicable to low-complexity, tight reservoirs exhibiting single-phase flow of oil and gas. A comprehensive workflow for confident derivation of reservoir/hydraulic fracture property and hydrocarbon-in-place estimates for wells completed in unconventional reservoirs is then introduced. Workflow steps are discussed in detail and illustrated for hydraulically fractured vertical wells and multi-fractured horizontal wells. Supported by many real-world field examples, Unconventional Reservoir Rate-Transient Analysis: Volume One - Fundamentals, Analysis Methods, and Workflow supplies today's petroleum engineers and geoscientists with a comprehensive overview of RTA methods as applied to tight reservoirs. Unconventional Reservoir Rate-Transient Analysis: Volume Two - Application to Complex Reservoirs, Exploration and Development, bridges a critical knowledge gap to help practicing petroleum engineers and geoscientists understand how RTA methods can be adopted and applied to today's unconventional reservoirs. Advanced topics such as how to modify and apply RTA methods to the unconventional reservoir types of coalbed methane, shale gas, and tight/shale reservoirs exhibiting multiphase flow, hydraulic fracture complexity, and stress sensitivity are addressed. Guidelines on how to improve production forecasting and development planning through the integration of RTA with other characterization methods are provided. Finally, nontraditional applications of RTA methods to exploration and development are illustrated. Unconventional Reservoir Rate-Transient Analysis: Volume Two - Application to Complex Reservoirs, Exploration and Development is an indispensable resource for students, academics, and industry professionals interested in using RTA for evaluating unconventional reservoirs.
