Title: Mapping the Way to Optimized Production in Shale Formations.
Authors: Neville, Tom1, Donald, Adam1
Source: Journal of Petroleum Technology. Dec2012, Vol. 64 Issue 12, p34-37. 3p.
Subjects: Oil shales, Gas reservoirs, Hydrocarbons, Shale, Quality
Abstract: The article discusses the process in optimizing production in shale formations. It is said that a two-step analysis involving the evaluation of reservoir quality and completion quality provides the information needed for designing optimal shale completions. Approaches for determining hydrocarbon supply and reservoir quality include resistivity measurements and application of the modular formation dynamics tester tool. A mechanical earth model (MEM) is created in quantifying completion quality.
