Effect of organic type and moisture on CO2/CH4 competitive adsorption in kerogen with implications for CO2 sequestration and enhanced CH4 recovery
TL;DR: In this article, the competitive adsorption behaviors of CH4 and CO2 on dry and moist realistic kerogen models of different organic types by performing combined molecular dynamics (MD) and grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The shale gas revolution: Barriers, sustainability, and emerging opportunities
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify key discoveries, lessons learned, and recommendations from this shale gas revolution through extensive data mining and analysis of 23 years of production from 20,000 wells.
Journal ArticleDOI
A realistic and integrated model for evaluating oil sands development with Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage technology in Canada
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an integrated evaluation model through the analyses of a significant amount of actual historical data, which includes six subcomponent models, ranging from the subsurface reservoir to infield flowline.

Tianyu Wang,Shouceng Tian,Gensheng Li,Mao Sheng,Wenxi Ren,Qingling Liu,Qingling Liu,Shikun Zhang +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the competitive adsorption behaviors of CO2 and CH4 in shale kerogen nanopores using grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) method were investigated using experimental data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of CO2 injection in shale gas reservoirs with multi-component transport and geomechanical effects
TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation model was constructed for CO2 flooding and huff and puff in the Marcellus and New Albany shale fields to examine the effects of CO2 injection to enhanced gas recovery (EGR) and CO2 storage.

An assessment of world hydrocarbon resources
TL;DR: In this article, a regional breakdown for 11 world regions indicates that neither hydrocarbon resource availability nor costs are likely to become forces that automatically would help wean the global energy system from the use of fossil fuel during the next century.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production data analysis of unconventional gas wells: Review of theory and best practices
TL;DR: In this paper, the latest techniques for quantitative PDA including type-curve analysis, straight-line (flow-regime) analysis, analytical and numerical simulation and empirical methods are briefly reviewed, specifically addressing their adaptation for coalbed methane (CBM), tight gas (TG) and shale gas (SG).
Journal ArticleDOI
Unconventional gas - A review of regional and global resource estimates
TL;DR: The authors assesses the currently available evidence on the size of unconventional gas resources at both the regional and global level and concludes that unconventional gas could represent 40% of the remaining technically recoverable resource of natural gas, but the level of uncertainty is extremely high.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cornucopia or curse? Reviewing the costs and benefits of shale gas hydraulic fracturing (fracking)
TL;DR: The authors assesses the overall technical, economic, environmental, and social costs and benefits of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) of natural gas and concludes that done poorly production can contribute to accidents and leakage, contribute to environmental degradation, induce earthquakes, and, when externalities are accounted for, produce more net economic losses than profits.
