Produktbeschreibung

Engineers continue to understand shale gas reservoirs and how to improve well productivity. One aspect is through pore transport, but this is an advanced level of research unlike any conventional method or model. Modeling of Gas Transport in Shale Matrix from Nanoscale to Reservoir Scale delivers a necessary reference to engineers and researchers on how to approach, model, and validate gas transport through multi-scale phenomena. Bridging between theory and practical, the reference walks the engineer through the scope of the project, establishing a model, illustrating the case study through workflow charts and follow up actions needed, then rounds out with project results, remaining challenges, and future references to advance learning. Supported from a strong group of experts in the field, Modeling of Gas Transport in Shale Matrix from Nanoscale to Reservoir Scale gives today's engineers and researchers the most advanced research and field application knowledge to understand unconventional shale gas and increase overall well productivity.
