Recently, Quicksilver Resources and Eni E&P, through its subsidiary Eni US Operating, began a common effort to optimize production and lift costs in the Alliance shale-gas field in the prolific Barnett shale play in Texas.

Fall velocities for various plungers have been measured under many different field and simulator conditions. A new theoretical plunger-fall-velocity model uses a specific pressure and temperature for calibration.

Unconventional gas is poised to enter its Golden Age and to effect positive global change if it can meet three challenges. Consider the 7 billion people on Earth who use energy each day.

Looking back through previous editions of this article, I note that, in 2011, I wrote, “there’s a growing tendency in some quarters to use very simple models.” That may be true, but there is also a growing tendency among vendors to offer models with more and more features.

Large volumes of gas can be produced at high rates with conventional horizontal- or vertical-well configurations for long periods of time from some methane-hydrate accumulations by means of depressurization-induced dissociation.

Recent industry activities have turned their focus to the areas of liquid-rich shale (LRS) and light tight oil (LTO) along with unconventional tight and shale gas.

Many different completion techniques, such as vertical-well multiseam completions and multiple lateral wellbores drilled into a single coal seam, have been used to develop coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs.

This paper presents a pragmatic approach to frame, evaluate, and compare appraisal strategies in resource plays.

Research-and-development modeling has shown that CO2 can diffuse a small distance into the thick shale caprocks above brine aquifers used for sequestration and cause migration of siderite (iron carbonate), magnesite (magnesium carbonate), calcite, and other precipitates back into the target zone.

A single-step cryogenic-distillation process that removes carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and other impurities from natural gas has been developed by ExxonMobil.
