Abstract Tom will discuss the current state of Reservoir Engineering Technology being used in Unconventional Reservoirs.  For “Heard on the street” ideas, the beginnings of RTA, recent developments and where he sees the future.  He will discuss the evolution of Unconventional Technologies and the Urgent challenges.  Look at the global shale basins of the world. …

The Utah FORGE project relies on multistage hydraulic fracturing to create flow connections between injection and production wells for renewable Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) applications.  Sponsored by the Department of Energy, this test laboratory has been used to evaluate the impact of completion and stimulation design changes, including the number of clusters per stage, fracturing …

Abstract: The need for automating reservoir engineering (RE) tasks, especially in pressure and rate transient analysis (PTA/RTA), initially arose from the increasing volume of data recorded by permanent downhole gauges. This challenge was addressed by introducing smart filtering, shut-in identification algorithms and processing platforms, allowing seamless analyses update with newly collected data. Recent cutting-edge solutions …
