A new fractal approach for describing induced-fracture porosity/permeability/ compressibility in stimulated unconventional reservoirs

TL;DR: In this article, a new method to calculate tortuosity index of fractal induced-fracture is proposed, and the fractal dimension of induced fracture aperture (dfa) is presented to describe the distribution of fractual induced-fragments aperture (FFAD).

Modeling of multi-scale transport phenomena in shale gas production — A critical review

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the shale gas transport process during shale gas production is presented, and the corresponding multi-scale simulation models that describe the gas multiscale transport mechanisms and accurately predict the amount of shale production are explained.

Predicting production and estimated ultimate recoveries for shale gas wells: A new methodology approach

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a new methodology based on the empirical relationship between production and time in a fracture-dominated flow regime, and considers the influence of time on the fracture time exponent.

Natural fractures in shale: A review and new observations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present new core and outcrop data from 18 shale plays that reveal common types of shale fractures and their mineralization, orientation, and size patterns, and identify a need for further work in this field and on the role of natural fractures generally.

Shale Resource Systems for Oil and Gas: Part 1—Shale-gas Resource Systems

TL;DR: Shale-gas resource systems vary considerably system to system, yet do share some commonalities with the best systems, which are, to date, marine shales with good to excellent total organic carbon values, gas window thermal maturity, mixed organic-rich and organic-lean lithofacies, and brittle rock fabric as discussed by the authors.

Some fractal characters of porous media

TL;DR: In this article, a unified model for describing the fractal characters of porous media is deduced, and theoretical predictions from the proposed unified model are compared with those from the previous models and from the box-counting method.
