Shale Poroelastic Effects on Well Performance Analysis of Shale Gas Reservoirs

The effect of poroelastic properties of the shale matrix on gas storage and transport mechanisms has gained significant attention, especially during history-matching and hydrocarbon production forecasting in unconventional reservoirs. The common oil and gas industry practice in unconventional reservoir simulation is the extension of conventional reservoir simulation that ignores the dynamic behavior of matrix porosity and permeability as a...
