Unconventional Gas Reservoirs: Evaluation, Appraisal, and Development

Natural gas, especially unconventional gas, has an increasingly important role in meeting the world's energy needs. Experts estimate that it has the potential to add anywhere from 60-250% to the global proven gas reserve in the next two decades. To maintain pace with increasing global demand, Unconventional Gas Reservoirs provides the necessary bridge into the newer processes, approaches and designs to help identify these more uncommon reservoirs available and how to maximize its unconventional potential. Loaded with reservoir development and characterization strategies, this book will show you how to: Recognize the challenges and opportunities surrounding unconventional gas reservoirsDistinguish among the various types of unconventional reservoirs, such as shale gas, coalbed methane, and tight gas formationsDrill down and quantify the reservoir's economic potential and other critical considerations Gain practical insights and tools to efficiently identify, appraise, and develop unconventional gas reservoirsUnderstand various techniques used to analyze reservoir parameters and performance as well as how they were applied to numerous real-world case studiesUpgrade to the latest information on emerging technologies with discussion of key differences used for today's unconventional gas characterization versus original conventional methods that failed in the past INDICE: Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: World Gas Reserve and the Role of Gas Reserves Chapter 3: Important Features of Unconventional Gas Reserves Chapter 4: Future Potentials of Unconventional Gas Reserves Chapter 5: Opportunities and Challenges involving Unconventional Gas Reserves Chapter 6: Reservoir Characterization of Tight Gas Formations Chapter 7: Scientific Characterization of Unconventional Gas Reserves Chapter 8: Coal Bed Methane Reservoirs Chapter 9: Well Testing and Performance Evaluation of Unconventional Reservoirs Chapter 10: Drilling, Completions, and Preparation for Formation Treatment Chapter 11: Appraisal and Development Strategies Chapter 12: Quantifying Resources and Reserves Chapter 13: Non-linear Filters for Data Processing Chapter 14: Reservoir Characterization of Unconventional Reservoirs Chapter 15: Shale Gas Reservoirs Chapter 16: Numerical Simulation Overview Chapter 17: Special Considerations in Tight Gas Modeling Chapter 18: Gas Hydrate Reservoirs Chapter 19: Economic Considerations Chapter 20: Future Potentials and Emerging Technologies Index
