HOW TO EVALUATE A SHALE PLAY? Part B Emanuel Martin In the first part of “HOW TO EVALUATE A SHALE PLAY?" we've developed: Shale play features, Main properties to evaluate, Kerogen, Total Organic Content (TOC), Organic Matter Classification, Thermal Maturity Determination, Depositional environment, facies characterization and Mineralogical composition. Now we're going to develop: Mechanical
Shale Basic Knowledge
In this category is explained the shale gas and oil industry, what are the mains differences between un-conventional fields and conventional, which are the news techniques to develop it, how works hydraulic fracture and how are the shale plays evaluated.
How to evaluate a shale play? Part A
How to evaluate a shale play? Part A Emanuel Martin Introduction Shale formations constitute 60% of the rocks that make up the Earth's crust being only a small group of them containers of hydrocarbons. The necessary conditions to ensure that these rocks have generated and stored oil or gas is that they have abundant
WHERE IS THE GAS STORED? Shale Pores
WHAT IS HYDRAULIC FRACTURING? PART B
WHAT IS HYDRAULIC FRACTURING? PART B Emanuel Martin In the first part of “Introduction to hydraulic fracturing" we've developed: What is hydraulic fracturing?, Which is the operation principle?, Operation of hydraulic fracturing, What form and direction can take the fracture?, Fracture orientation, Hydraulic fracture design, Selection between vertical, horizontal and multi-wells pad
What is hydraulic fracturing? part A
Since then its use, technology and development have been in continuous growth becoming a daily technique of completion of wells in formations of low permeability and high pore pressure or wells where the drainage area was damaged during the drilling or termination of the same. The combination of horizontal drilling with
