Unconventional Gas Reservoirs: Evaluation, Appraisal, and Development

<p>Natural gas, especially unconventional gas, has an increasingly important role in meeting the world's energy needs. Experts estimate that it has the potential to add anywhere from 60-250% to the global proven gas reserve in the next two decades. To maintain pace with increasing global demand, <i>Unconventional Gas Reservoirs</i> provides the necessary bridge into the newer processes, approaches and designs to help identify these more uncommon reservoirs available and how to maximize its unconventional potential. </p> <p>Loaded with reservoir development and characterization strategies, this book will show you how to:</p> <ul><li>Recognize the challenges and opportunities surrounding unconventional gas reservoirs</li><li>Distinguish among the various types of unconventional reservoirs, such as shale gas, coalbed methane, and tight gas formations</li><li>Drill down and quantify the reservoir’s economic potential and other critical considerations</li></ul><br><br><ul><li>Gain practical insights and tools to efficiently identify, appraise, and develop unconventional gas reservoirs</li><li>Understand various techniques used to analyze reservoir parameters and performance as well as how they were applied to numerous real-world case studies</li><li>Upgrade to the latest information on perspectives and insights with discussion of key differences used for today’s unconventional gas characterization versus original conventional methods that failed in the past</li> </ul>
