Five distinctive limestone micro-facies (oolitic, oolitoid, micro-conglomeratic, shelly, and nodular) are recognised, each of which may be present within one individual bed. They generally indicate shallow water, restricted lagoonal conditions inimical to organic life. Sometimes the conditions were ...
This chapter introduces unconventional resources and their importance in improving quality of life. Basic concepts and terms used in the oil and gas industry are introduced and defined, and then expanded to different gas types, natural gas transportation, and usage. Next, the chapter explains the ...
Fracking, the more common term for hydraulic fracturing, is a method or technique used in the unconventional process of Oil and Gas (UOG) extraction. This technique injects a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals at high pressure into shale rock formations deep underground to fracture the rock...
An Integrated case study from Seismic to Simulation through Geostatistical Inversion The field is located in the Persian Gulf and has been producing for the last 30 years with a strong natural aquifer support. The clastic reservoir exhibits highly heterogeneous permeability combined with shale streaks ...
Argentina’s state-owned oil company, YPF, is struggling with operating losses, a difficult transition to shale oil, a disputed debt restructuring, and a change in leadership... Read More ‘Wealth tax’ comes into force A one-off 3% asset tax targeting Argentina’s wealthiest residents came...
Shale gas has become profitable (some say too profitable!) mainly due to advancements in horizontal drilling and fracing. The resources devoted to these two are much higher than for other branches of the oil field business. The resources used to gather information to make informative decisions fo...
The more oil in paraffin wax, the lower its melting point.2. Classification of paraffin wax There are many ways to classify paraffin, and there are three main ways. The easiest way is to distinguish by melting point. Each type of wax is divided into different varieties according to the ...
Safe hydraulic fracturing is the biggest single reason America is having an energy revolution right now, one that has changed the U.S. energy picture from scarcity to abundance. Fracking is letting the U.S. tap vast oil and natural gas reserves that previously were locked away in shale and ...
