Unconventional Reservoir Rate-Transient Analysis provides petroleum engineers and geoscientists with the first comprehensive review of rate-transient analysis (RTA) methods as applied to unconventional reservoirs. Volume One-Fundamentals, Analysis Methods, and Workflow is comprised of five chapters which address key concepts and analysis methods used in RTA. This volume overviews the fundamentals of RTA, as applied to low-permeability oil and gas reservoirs exhibiting simple reservoir and fluid characteristics.Volume Two-Application to Complex Reservoirs, Exploration and Development is comprised of four chapters that demonstrate how RTA can be applied to coalbed methane reservoirs, shale gas reservoirs, and low-permeability/shale reservoirs exhibiting complex behavior such as multiphase flow. Use of RTA to assist exploration and development programs in unconventional reservoirs is also demonstrated. This book will serve as a critical guide for students, academics, and industry professionals interested in applying RTA methods to unconventional reservoirs.
