Reservoir Characterization of Unconventional Gas Formations
Abstract
Unconventional gas reservoirs have shifted the focus to special considerations of fundamentals of reservoir engineering. All reservoir characterization tools as well processing techniques are uniquely designed for conventional reservoirs. Using the tools and techniques to unconventional reservoirs has the risk of conclusions that are irrelevant and random at best. The main mechanism of fluid flow in unconventional reservoirs is through fractures, natural or induced, whereas existing techniques do not integrate this aspect to reservoir characterization. This chapter presents a new reservoir characterization technique that is suitable for unconventional reservoirs.
