Unconventional Resources: Advances in Energy Transition

by Cenk Temizel (Editor), Cengiz Yegin (Editor), Jihoon Kim (Editor), Luigi Saputelli (Editor), Ole Torsæter (Editor)

Overview

The oil and gas sector is a vital player in the energy transition. With their vast resource potential, unconventional shale plays will be an essential part in enabling this change. Unconventional Resources serves as a comprehensive reference covering the latest technologies, methodologies, and applications of unconventional shale resources in the oil and gas industry, and their role in the evolution of the sector's energy transition.

This book:

• Offers an overview of geophysics, geology, and reservoir characterization in unconventional resources
• Discusses drilling, well stimulation and completion, production engineering, and artificial lift
• Covers reservoir management and surveillance, recovery enhancement, production forecasting, and surface facilities and testing
• Details technical and technological advances, including machine learning, AI, data analytics, and Industry 4.0
• Explores the latest methods/workflows in performance analysis in unconventional plays
• Employs integrated and hybrid approaches to the energy transition

The book provides surface and subsurface technical professionals in the oil and gas industry a thorough overview of unconventionals along with the integrated/hybrid applications that will enable them to stay current with the industry's transition.
