Re: Introduction to Unconventional Resources UR
Unconventional Resources is petroleum produced or extracted using special techniques other than the conventional method.
Oil & Gas industries and governments across the world are investing in unconventional oil & Gas sources due to the increasing scarcity of conventional oil & Gas reserves.
Unconventional Resources may include but not limited to :
Oil Sand
Tight Oil
Tight Gas
Oil Shale
Gas Shale
Goal Bed Methane

Re: Introduction to Unconventional Resources UR
Conventional Versus Unconventional Resources:
Conventional Reservoirs | Unconventional Reservoirs (Shale) |
Localized structural trap | "Continuous-type" deposit |
External HC sourcing | Self-sourced HC |
Hydrodynamic Influence | Minimal hydrodynamic influence |
Porosity Important | Porosity may not be important |
Permeability > 0.1 md | Permeability << 0.1 md |
Permeability ≠ f(p) | Permeability = f(p) |
Traditional Phase behavior (PVT) | Complex (HP/HT) PVT |
Minimal extraction effort | Significant extraction effort |
Significant production history | Limited production history |
Often late development life-cycle | Early development life-cycle |
Few wells for commerciality | Many wells for commerciality |
Base reserve for voumetrics | Base reserves on analogs |
Assess entire prospect before drilling | Prospect driven by drilling |
Boundary-dominated flow (months) | No boundary-dominated flow |

Please do u have any material on the subject that will be of help to better understanding the subject?
Re: Introduction to Unconventional Resources UR
This paper is very good for explaining the Unconventional resources..
