Reports IMPROVED OIL RECOVERY COVER STORY Complicated geological and petrophysical properties, extremely low permeabilities, and multiphase flow physics present numerous challenges to modeling liquid-rich shale reservoirs. To better understand the factors controlling complex production dynamics, a state-of-the-art microscale model has been developed that accounts for variability in mineralogy, pore size and structure while considering the multiphase flow behavior in liquids-rich shale formations. by Masoud Alfi, Bicheng Yan and John Killough. 83 | Modified Zipper Frac Increases Stimulated Reservoir Volume by Tao Wan, Xingbang Meng and James J.
