klinkenberg permeability is an important parameter in tight gas reservoirs. there are conventional methods for determining it, but these methods depend on core permeability. cores are few in number, but well logs are usually accessible for all wells and provide continuous information. in this regard, regression methods have been used to achieve reliable relations between log readings and klinke...

Unconventional gas reservoirs have shown the potential to be the next world primary energy resource and have received a lot of attention in the past few years in the world. Even with the significant progress that has been made world-wide towards commercial development of natural gas from these unconventional resources, understandings or modeling tools of gas flow in these extremely low-permeabi...

Estimation of reserves in tight gas and shale gas reservoirs is problematic due to the low to ultra-low permeability characteristics of these reservoir systems. The sole application of conventional decline curve analysis methodologies often yields erroneous reserve estimates. Therefore, the use of theoretically-based production analysis techniques has become a must to analyze well performance a...

Low Vp/Vs anomalies can assist in prospect identification in tight gas sandstone reservoirs, because they are related to good quality rocks (sandstones with low clay content), presence of gas, and overpressure conditions. In such rocks, gas saturation lowers Vp/Vs and the effect is larger if the gas is overpressured. On the other hand, with water saturation, Vp/Vs increases and the effect is en...

Unconventional hydrocarbon resources from low-permeability formation, i.e., tight sands and shales, are currently received great attention because of their potential to supply the entire world with sufficient energy for the decades to come. In the past few years, as a result of industry-wide R&D effort, progresses are being made towards commercial development of gas and oil from such unconventi...

Based on the latest laboratory test and prospect well data of G layer in south depression of D basin, the source rock、reservoir、cap-rock and preservation forming condition of tight oil and gas within research area is analyzed. The results indicate that the widely distributed dark mudstone of J layer has rather high organic content .IIb and III types are the mainly genetic types of organic matte...
