Reservoir Engineering
Unconventional Reservoir Geoscience and Engineering
An online series giving engineers and geoscientists new to unconventional resources a quick grasp of shale oil, tight gas and coalbed methane. It starts with geoscience, fluid properties and completions, then covers diagnostic tests and rate transient methods for understanding individual wells. Field-scale development, surveillance and decline analysis complete the programme.
