Enormous quantities of natural gas and oil have been produced from unconventional reservoirs in just the past decade. Production from these reservoirs has literally revolutionized the oil and gas industry in the U.S., in Canada and is on the cusp of having a similar impact in China, Argentina and many other countries.
But despite the success and impact of production from unconventional reservoirs, there are outstanding issues that point to the critical need to better understand these reservoirs.
Join Stanford professor Mark Zoback and lecturer Arjun Hari Kohli as they explore:
1. Physical and transport properties of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs
2. Technologies currently being used for production from unconventional reservoirs
3. Utilization of geomechanical information to optimize production
