Reservoir simulation

A Practical Simulation Method Capturing Complex Hydraulic-Fracturing Physics

To understand production from shale reservoirs, the role of hydraulically induced fractures, natural fractures, and their interaction in a formation must be captured.

Understanding Waterflood Response in Tight Oil Formations: A Saskatchewan Case Study

An 18-well numerical-simulation model was built to represent an operator’s Lower Shaunavon waterflood-pilot area. Numerical simulation was used, and a history match on the pilot area was performed.

Data & Analytics

Astronomy, Fiber-Optics Provide Blueprint for Data

Managing an unconventional asset requires the proper analysis of large amounts of data. How can unconventional asset operators utilize data processing technologies commonly used in other industries?

Enhanced recovery

Unconventional Resources Will Require Unconventional EOR

The Bakken Petroleum System, which includes the Bakken and Three Forks shales in North America, is estimated to hold as much as 900 billion bbl of original oil in place.

Unconventional/complex reservoirs

Tight Reservoirs-2015

Estimates of tight-reservoir hydrocarbon reserves continue to vary with uncertainty. What is known with certainty, though, is that current recovery rates are low and the upside is substantial.
