Reservoir Management for Unconventional Reservoirs
A fast introduction to the key management issues in tight gas, tight oil and shale reservoirs for professionals new to these resources. Built around the reservoir engineer's role, it covers how to combine information to estimate well rates and recoverable volumes, decide what data to collect and address questions such as initial well spacing and the value of infill drilling.
