Question Status:   Open

I am collecting lessons learned from Shale Oil and Gas Resource Play completions and production, especially completing to minimize water production. Can participants share their experiences please? Please associate the "Lessons Learned with the Shale Play".

Hello there, If you haven't already seen it, EQT Production, SouthWestern Energy and a host of other Shale Gas Producers will be discussing these issues in Houston in May at the SGDC. Check out www.SGDChouston.com for more information.

We're still investigating how best to engineer the catalytic process. Thus far it seems clear that methane pressure is a key lever that can turn on and off the process. We're holding a workshop sometime in June in Houston - if you're interested send me an email eleanorherriman@gmail.com Here's some papers: Metathesis in the generation of low-temperature gas in marine shales Mango FD, Jarvie DM Geochemical Transactions 2010, 11:1 (20 January 2010) Low-temperature gas from marine shales: wet gas to dry gas over experimental time Mango FD, Jarvie DM Geochemical Transactions 2009, 10:10 (9 November 2009) Natural gas at thermodynamic equilibrium Implications for the origin of natural gas Mango FD, Jarvie D, Herriman E Geochemical Transactions 2009, 10:6 (16 June 2009) Low-temperature gas from marine shales Mango FD, Jarvie DM Geochemical Transactions 2009, 10:3 (23 February 2009)

I would like to know more about the implications for fracing and controlling production parameters of alpha gas.

Petroleum Habitats has been studying the gas compositions and isotopes of shale gas plays and has determined that most of the gas being produced is acutally "Alpha Gas" - catalytic gas being generated in real time by the shale source rocks. This has a number of interesting implications for fracing and controlling production parametrs such as pressure, flow rates, etc. See www.petroleumhabitats.com for more info
