Unconventional resources are increasingly vital in the current economic and energy landscape. This presentation explores the fundamental mechanisms behind liquid production from shale formations, focusing on how liquids are extracted from ultra-low permeability rocks. It emphasizes the evaluation and optimization of production through geologic data analysis, mechanistic evaluation, and geomechanics. By comparing production characteristics across various shale plays based on geological fluid and rock properties, we aim to enhance recovery strategies and identify potential target plays.

Liquids from Shale Geo “Slam” Carrie Welker Dec 13, 2011
Unconventional resources are becoming important in today’s economic, energy and political setting. Dollars ($) http://mjperry.blogspot.com/2011/11/two-charts-on-natural-gas-vs-oil-prices.html
What is fundamental mechanism of liquid production from shales? • How liquids are produced from ultra-low permeability rocks? • How can we optimize production and recovery?
Mechanistic Evaluation Geologic data analysis and geomechanics Production evaluation and optimization
What I’ll be doing: • Compare and contrast production characteristics of different plays based on their fluid and geologic characteristics • Logs and cores • Cross sections • Structure maps • Isopach maps • Mineral mix diagrams for various shales • Porosity types and significance • Structure and stress field knowledge; fracture orientations
