Unconventional resources are becoming important in today’s economic, energy and political setting. Dollars ($) http://mjperry.blogspot.com/2011/11/two-charts-on-natural-gas-vs-oil-prices.html
What is fundamental mechanism of liquid production from shales? • How liquids are produced from ultra-low permeability rocks? • How can we optimize production and recovery?
Mechanistic Evaluation Geologic data analysis and geomechanics Production evaluation and optimization
What I’ll be doing: • Compare and contrast production characteristics of different plays based on their fluid and geologic characteristics • Logs and cores • Cross sections • Structure maps • Isopach maps • Mineral mix diagrams for various shales • Porosity types and significance • Structure and stress field knowledge; fracture orientations
