Unconventional Natural Gas § Unconventional natural gas includes natural gas from coal, shale gas,

Unconventional Natural Gas § Unconventional natural gas includes natural gas from coal, shale gas, as well as gas from tight sands § Typically large, long-life resource § Unconventional natural gas is a rapidly growing sector in North America’s energy industry § Significant production in the U. S. , 10 years ahead of Canada SPI

Conventional vs. Unconventional Gas § Can evaluate with well logs § Immediate gas flow

Conventional vs. Unconventional Gas § Can evaluate with well logs § Immediate gas flow to well bore § Needs specialized lab tests on cores § Gas diffuses slowly to fractures § May fracture to stimulate § Always fracture to stimulate § Inorganic reservoir rock gas has migrated to reservoir trap § Organic reservoir rock is its own source rock § Permeability not depth dependant § Permeability decreases with depth § Few wells to develop § Multiple wells and facilities § Water/gas ratio increases § Water/gas ratio decreases § Reserve determination follows established guidelines § Requires production testing to demonstrate reserves Source: Modified from AJM Petroleum Consultants SPI
