SPE 139250 Analysis of Mechanisms of Flow in Fractured Tight-Gas and Shale-Gas Reservoirs

In this paper we analyze by means of numerical simulation the mechanisms and processes of flow in two types of fractured tight gas reservoirs: shale and tight-sand systems. The numerical model includes Darcy’s law as the basic equation of multiphase flow and accurately describes the thermophysical properties of the reservoir fluids, but also incorporates other options that cover the spectrum of...

Tight Gas Sandstone Reservoirs , Part 1 : Overview and Lithofacies 14

Although shale gas plays have been in the spotlight recently, natural gas in tight sandstones is actually also an important hydrocarbon resource. In many cases, tight gas sandstone resources can be developed more easily than shale gas reservoirs as the rocks generally have higher quartz content, and are more brittle and easier to complete for production. This chapter first gives an overview of ...

Noble Gas Measurements in Metal from Pallasites

Introduction: Pallasites are stony-iron meteorites that likely formed at the core-mantle boundary of one or more differentiating parent bodies [e.g., 1]. The noble gas concentrations of palla-sites are interesting for several reasons. First, some samples of Brenham olivines contain solar gases [2,3], which raises the question how the olivines managed to retain the trapped solar component during...

elimination of btex , voc vapors from glycol in gas hydrant unit

during natural gas processing, water in natural gas may cause to hydrates formation in pipelines which may lead to serious damages to process equipments. given the problems raised by present of water in natural gas, glycol solvent uses to remove water.in contact of glycol with gas always an amount of btex and voc absorb along with water, which on glycol recovery process, these substances separa...
