Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the US shale gas revolution in 2005, the development of unconventional oil and gas resources has gathered tremendous pace around the world. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the key geologic, geophysical, and engineering principles that govern the development of unconventional reservoirs. The book begins with a detailed characterization of unconventional reservoir rocks: their composition and microstructure, mechanical properties, and the processes controlling fault slip and fluid flow. A discussion of geomechanical principles follows, including the state of stress, pore pressure, and the importance of fractures and faults. After reviewing the fundamentals of horizontal drilling, multi-stage hydraulic fracturing, and stimulation of slip on pre-existing faults, the key factors impacting hydrocarbon production are explored. The final chapters cover environmental impacts and how to mitigate hazards associated with induced seismicity. This text provides an essential overview for students, researchers, and industry professionals interested in unconventional reservoirs.

Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary book encompasses the fields of rock mechanics, structural geology and petroleum engineering to address a wide range of geomechanical problems that arise during the exploitation of oil and gas reservoirs. It considers key practical issues such as prediction of pore pressure, estimation of hydrocarbon column heights and fault seal potential, determination of optimally stable well trajectories, casing set points and mud weights, changes in reservoir performance during depletion, and production-induced faulting and subsidence. The book establishes the basic principles involved before introducing practical measurement and experimental techniques to improve recovery and reduce exploitation costs. It illustrates their successful application through case studies taken from oil and gas fields around the world. This book is a practical reference for geoscientists and engineers in the petroleum and geothermal industries, and for research scientists interested in stress measurements and their application to problems of faulting and fluid flow in the crust.

Book excerpt: Conventional geomechanics cannot provide suitable modes of behavior and performance for today's unconventional reservoirs such as the evolution of porosity-permeability relationships with multiphysics coupled effects, which ultimately help determine production rates. Unconventional Reservoir Geomechanics delivers a reference that discusses a variety of approaches tailored in developing geomechanical models and provides a smarter tool to predict hydrocarbon extraction specifically for unconventional reservoirs. Starting with a full explanation on a more unified theoretical framework discussing permeability characterization, the authors advance to offer a full range of new modelling solutions followed by a series of lab-scale and field-scale applications to match the history-verified models, bridging a gap for engineers to fully understand the interactions of multiple processes in field scales from theory to practice. Going a step further, other applications such as CO2 sequestration in coal seam or shale gas reservoirs are explained to illustrate how unconventional reservoir geomechanics can be extended to solve related and even more complex challenges. Combining both theoretical and practical models backed by data, Unconventional Reservoir Geomechanics gives reservoir engineers a smarter and more sophisticated tool to approach today's more complex geomechanical modeling challenges. Provides a foundation of solutions for the extraction of unconventional resources and other related areas Introduces a completely new theoretical framework of coupled multi-spatial and multi-temporal multi-physics in rocks with significant contracts of physical properties among components Focuses on understanding and inclusion of four characteristics of unconventional rocks with applications to areas such as shale gas, coal seam, and CO2 sequestration
