tight gas

This paper describes the analysis of actual performance data for acid fracturing in a tight carbonate formation to investigate the ineffectiveness of the process.

In response to sustained global demand, the development of gas production technology continues unabated. The chain starts with enabling production from an ever-wider range of resources, including source rock (shale), coal-seam gas, deep offshore gas, contaminated gas, and methane-hydrate sediment or by maximizing recovery from existing reservoirs by enhanced-gas-recov…

This paper describes a new intelligent dosing technology to reduce liquid loading in an unconventional tight gas reservoir.

This paper will cover the most-common types of horizontal multistage fracturing completion systems, with a primary focus on unconventionals.

Until you hear that commercial fusion reactors are online or that low-cost, grid-scale electricity storage made from commonplace materials can handle a 10-day cold snap or heat wave, there is no need to hang up your pipe wrenches. Fossil fuels will remain the most energy-dense, cost-effective, reliable energy source until an extraordinary breakthrough creates a better…

Sinopec is moving on to Phase 2 at its Weirong shale-gas development in Sichuan province after having completed Phase 1 by drilling 56 new wells over the past year and building new infrastructure to support increased natural gas production.

Saudi Aramco and university researchers are experimenting with a thermochemical fracturing fluid that aims to eliminate more than half of the pumping horsepower typically required to complete horizontal wells.

The Pennsylvania-based producer will leave Louisiana where profiting from tight-gas fields has proven difficult and focus on its legacy assets in the Marcellus Shale.

The first of three major unconventional developments in Saudi Arabia has been given the green light. The project will underpin the country's goal to become a top gas exporter by 2030.

A recently launched joint industry project (JIP) is working to improve petrophysical analysis methods to reduce the time and expense of characterizing tight sandstone gas reservoirs for exploration, appraisal, and production.
