Gas production Forecasting from Tight Gas Reservoirs: Integrating Natural Fracture Networks and Hydraulic Fractures (07122-44)
University of Utah - Principal Investigator: Dr. Milind Deo
Objective: The objective of this project is to increase gas recovery from the tight gas formations in the Uinta Basin, Utah by creating tools/mechanisms to superpose complex three-dimensional hydraulic fractures on existing sets of natural fractures, and simulating gas production from realistic models of tight gas reservoirs.
Period of Performance: September 2, 2008 to October 31, 2012
