Tight oil reservoir characterization
Characterizing the Shaunavon reservoir will provide insight for future optimal horizontal drilling programs and may be applied to similar tight oil reservoirs in 21 Jan 2016 Tight oil reservoirs are classified by the types of source–reservoir than 2 m); in the well logging, reservoir rocks are often characterized by low Abstract To evaluate the exploration potential of tight oil reservoirs in the Upper Triassic Yanchang Formation, a combined research was done to investigate the vertical or horizontal well. Tight oil is conventional oil that is found within reservoirs with very low permeability. The oil contained within these reservoir rocks
30 Apr 2018 The carbonate reservoirs in the basin are extremely rich in oil and gas to characterize the capillary pressure in tight reservoirs (Lucia, 2007;
The reservoir contains 1,095,400 t of technically recoverable tight oil. The eighth member of the Triassic Yanchang formation (Chang 8) forms the main layer of the Shui Mogou area. Further information on Chang 8 in this area is summarized in Oil found in relatively impermeable reservoir rock. Production of tight oil comes from very low permeability rock that must be stimulated using hydraulic fracturing to create sufficient permeability to allow the mature oil and/or natural gas liquids to flow at economic rates. See: tight gas, shale gas, shale oil, unconventional resource Reservoir characterization of the lower permeability siliciclastic facies at the Whitemud and Eastbrook pools, coupled with recent advances in horizontal drilling and completion technology show that additional drilling opportunities exist within the pools to improve oil recovery, but also that oil-saturated sandstone reservoirs exist outside the boundaries of the pools. As a result reservoir characterization remains an important step in the low-permeability reservoir development process. We provide below a summary of several advanced characterization techniques, previously applied to the study of other types of unconventional reservoirs, which we have adapted and are using to evaluate the spectrum of properties observed in tight-oil or halo-oil reservoirs. Tight oil, in consideration of technical feasibility and economical affordability, is regarded as one of the most promising unconventional resources. And it is necessary to make the characterization of realistic pore structure for tight oil, which is the foundation for continuous production and enhanced recovery. These unconventional oil reservoirs have proved to be challenging in terms of 1) reservoir characterization, 2) identifying the many potential pay intervals that are interbedded in long intervals of indistinguishable shale, organic mudstone, siltstone and carbonate, 3) predicting producibility potential, 4) optimizing fracture stimulation techniques for maximum production, and 5) estimating ultimate recovery.
reservoirs and use that information in resource evaluation, reservoir characterization and management. There is no fear of running out of oil or natural gas.

Tight Oil Consortium (TOC) is a multi-disciplinary consulting team of reservoir characterization and engineering experts. We focus on different scales of reservoir characterization ranging from pore to core scale studies in the laboratory and well to field scale analyses using production and geological/geophysical data. Many tight shale reservoirs haveproductive gross intervals exceeding 300 ft, making it difficult to determinewhere the gas is produced, thus complicating completion decisions. Even intight gas sands made up of interbedded sands and shales, layering can have apronounced effect on well production.

Tight Oil Consortium (TOC) is a multi-disciplinary consulting team of reservoir characterization and engineering experts. We focus on different scales of reservoir characterization ranging from pore to core scale studies in the laboratory and well to field scale analyses using production and geological/geophysical data. This study presents the reservoir characterization of the unconventional, tight oil reservoir of the Upper Member of the Shaunavon Formation. The Shaunavon Formation was initially targeted as a conventional resource, but is currently being exploited for its unconventional oil resources. The overall PSD of tight oil reservoirs is polymodal with pore sizes ranging from 9.2 nm to 500 μm in radii ( Fig. 7 ). One peak spans 80–500 μm with a peak value ∼150 μm, and there is not much variability between samples. Pores in this size range are residual interparticle pores. Tight oil, in consideration of technical feasibility and economical affordability, is regarded as one of the most promising unconventional resources. And it is necessary to make the characterization of realistic pore structure for tight oil, which is the foundation for continuous production and enhanced recovery.
