This article presents the results of an analysis of the current state of shale play development in the United States to determine the recent advances in the understanding of reservoir behaviors and the most effective uses of new techniques and technologies. My presentation emphasizes reservoir optimization, and the application of the new technologies and techniques to reduce costs and to improve recoverability of hydrocarbons in order to improve ultimate recoverable reserves. It specifically addresses issues of decline curves, stranded pay between laterals, stacked pay logistics, and pad drilling. In addition, the presentation looks at sweet-spot optimization, effective investments, hydraulic fracturing, and geomechanics. Finally, it presents an overview of some of the emerging best practices in North American shale plays and the results of new optimization-focused technologies and techniques, including refracturing, whipstocking, geochemistry, and integrated imaging. https://broken.aapg.donfick.com/career/aapg-net/activity/aff/535/aft/310/afv/topic Bogdan Michka Wed, 10 Apr 2019 05:15:48 GMT https://broken.aapg.donfick.com/career/aapg-net/activity/aff/535/aft/310/afv/topic 0
