The primary objective is to thoroughly assess the influence of various completion, stimulation, and geological parameters on well productivity while uncovering key insights and emerging trends unique to each play.</p><p>The dataset comprises 72,809 horizontal wells from 2015 to 2022 across 10 plays, encompassing 6 oil plays (Bakken, Delaware, Duvernay, Midland, Eagle Ford, and Scoop|Stack) and 4 gas plays (Haynesville, Barnett, Marcellus, and Utica). This study examines completion and fracture stimulation trends influencing the productivity of various plays, along with the significance of geological and mechanical properties.</p><p>Key findings reveal that while geological characteristics, such as total organic carbon (TOC) content and brittleness, significantly impact reservoir quality, operational practices like completion design and stimulation techniques, also play critical roles in well productivity. Key insights from the analysis challenge the traditional emphasis on TOC as a sole productivity indicator, which might not be as pronounced as commonly assumed. The analysis indicates that, contrary to common beliefs, plays exhibiting both a lower brittleness index and fewer wells per pad are associated with faster fracture growth rates. Adding more wells per pad increases the minimum horizontal stress in the neighborhood, which slows fracture growth and causes it to redirect upward. Horizontal spacing plays a crucial role in enhancing productivity, especially in less productive plays which benefit from denser well development. Co-completion of wells leads to superior performance by reducing fracture-driven interactions or “frac hits”. While longer laterals increase resource contact, productivity gains are not linear. The productivity impact of increasing clusters per stage is variable, potentially limited by the stress shadowing effect.</p><p>In summary, this study offers critical insights into the productivity-influencing factors across diverse shale plays, contributing to the optimization of well development and resource extraction in the future. This study not only provides technical guidance for the unconventional oil and gas developments in North America, but can also serve as a valuable guide for similar projects elsewhere.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101263,"journal":{"name":"Unconventional Resources","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100087"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666519024000153/pdfft?md5=c8466fc92a82e27161c59a2838563a40&pid=1-s2.0-S2666519024000153-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140823082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, the primary focus for development lies in the Upper Paleozoic tight sandstone gas located in the southwestern Ordos basin. The gas reservoirs in this area present distinct characteristics, including significant burial depth exceeding 4000 m, modest-scale sand bodies, an average thin reservoir thickness of 5.8 m, and rapid lateral variations in sand body distribution. These factors contribute to challenges in establishing a clear correlation between reservoir scale and seismic reflection patterns, leading to uncertainties in reservoir prediction. In this study, three types of seismic reflection characteristics of the bottom interface associated with the development of the S₁³ reservoir in Block X have been summarized by using Forward modeling: (1) strong reflection of peaks on seismic sections; (2) weak reflection of troughs on seismic sections; and (3) strong reflection of complex waves with the bottom of the Shanxi Formation. The main factors that cause the above seismic reflection characteristics include the thickness of the lower coal seam, the spatial distribution and thickness of the reservoir. The above analysis breaks the inherent understanding that traditional strong seismic reflections are indicative of reservoir development, and instead, based on the three types of seismic reflection waveforms, waveform clustering is used to realize the differentiation of zones in the study area. Furthermore, combining with the facies-controlled high-resolution inversion, we achieved high-precision identification of tight sandstone reservoirs in Block X. This approach can be applied to similar reservoirs both at China and abroad.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101263,"journal":{"name":"Unconventional Resources","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100085"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S266651902400013X/pdfft?md5=66eee292570a5e1f855946d76a84ab27&pid=1-s2.0-S266651902400013X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140778442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the pore characteristics and controlling factors of the shale-gas reservoir in the Qiongzhusi Formation are not clear, which hinders further exploration and development of shale gas. This paper focuses on the Qiongzhusi Formation in the Lower Cambrian of the Sichuan Basin. On the basis of mineral composition and the lithofacies types of shale-gas reservoirs in Qiongzhusi Formation were classified by microscopic observation. Additionally, focused ion beam-scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM), advanced mineral identification and characterization system (AMICS) analysis, large-field stitching scanning electron microscope technology (MAPS) and nitrogen adsorption experiment were employed to comprehensively determine the differential characteristics and controlling factors of pore development. The results indicate that the pore types in Qiongzhusi Formation are mainly composed of interparticle pores and intercrystalline pores. The pore structure of Qiongzhusi Formation is complex. Significant differences in pore structure parameters are observed among different lithofacies. Quartz and feldspar contribute to the preservation of primary pores due to their strong compressive resistance. Clay minerals and carbonate minerals impede pore development by occluding pores. The influence of organic matter on the pore development is relatively small. According to the mineral composition and pore parameters, laminated shale is a relatively favorable reservoir facies among different lithofacies types.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101263,"journal":{"name":"Unconventional Resources","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666519024000281/pdfft?md5=370407147abb15d793e7d356be232b42&pid=1-s2.0-S2666519024000281-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141961966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, a detailed investigation of outcrop features was carried out to augment the understanding. The sedimentary characteristics and sand bodies architecture of the Member Chang 6 were meticulously examined at the outcrop locations of Yanhe in Yanchang County, and the Fuxian area. Through this comprehensive examination, a well-defined sand body architecture model was successfully established. The study reveals the presence of nine distinct lithofacies types within the Member Chang 6 of the Fuxian area. Additionally, four primary architecture elements have been identified, namely underwater distributary channels, interdistributary bays, estuary bar, and distant sand bars. The vertical stacking pattern of delta front sand bodies within the meandering river system of the Member Chang 6 can be classified into connected and disconnected types. In terms of lateral arrangement, the superposition pattern is further categorized into butted and cut-stacked types. The sedimentary period of Member Chang 6 in Fuxian area is mainly meandering river delta front. The prevailing water energy is characterized by its subdued nature, resulting in limited sand-carrying capacity. This dynamic leads to the development of a meandering river delta sedimentary model characterized by a gentle near-source slope.
