Hydraulic fracturing in unconventional reservoirs : theories, operations, and economic analysis

__Hydraulic Fracturing in Unconventional Reservoirs: Theories, Operations, and Economic Analysis__ introduces the basic characteristics and theories surrounding hydraulic fracturing and the main process of fracturing in shale, including the main workflow, the details in case analysis, and the fundamental differences between theory, study, and practical operation. The book takes the complex nature of the hydraulic fracturing in unconventional reservoirs and applies a practical approach that can be useds as a workflow for designing fracture treatments in various shale basins across the world. Providing the audience with theories, best practices, operation and execution, and economic analysis of hydraulic fracturing in unconventional reservoirs, this reference guides the engineer and manager throughbroad topics includingan introduction to unconventional reservoirs, advanced shale reservoir characterization, and shale gas in place calculation as well asexpanding to basic theories of hydraulic fracturing and advanced topics in shale reservoir stimulation. Rounding out with coverage on the environmental aspects and practice problems on design and economic analysis, the book delivers the critical link needed between academia and industry for all aspects of hydraulic fracturing operations.
