Online presentation on the topic "Enhancing Fluid Recovery in shales: Why Pores less than 10nm Matter."

Overview:

Unconventional reservoirs are present worldwide, and have added 7500Tscf and 418Billion stb of liquids to global resources by EIA estimates. The new prize is predicting the liquid yield and improving liquid recovery, with cyclic gas injection offering a route to a +60% increase in liquids.

However, these are unconventional reservoirs, so some basic assumptions and mechanisms change. For a conventional reservoir we expect lighter fluid above denser fluid, for fluid samples to represent the fluid in the pores, and for lab measurements to apply in the reservoir.
