"A unique tribute to the scientific fraternity engaged in unravelling the intricacies associated with these complex resources." "Every chapter abounds with enthusiasm of the authors: my friend Sanjeev Rajput and N. K. Thakur; who manages to convey the intellectual fascination of unconventional oil and gas, along with their associated complexity and challenges in a very intriguing and visually appealing way. This book will become a cornerstone in the pursuit to augment our understanding of these unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs." "The authors can be confident that there will be many grateful readers who will gain a broader perspective of the disciplines associated with unconventional hydrocarbon studies and their book is destined to play an important role in exciting, motivating and educating the next generation of geoscientists and reservoir engineers from all over the world." --S. Bordoloi, Global Director, Geomechanics, Baker Hughes Incorporated, Houston, USA, 2016 "With this book, Sanjeev Rajput and N.K. Thakur bring together the most important technology threads developed over the over the past several decades of oil and gas exploration and show how they apply both to the most recent foray in the industry, the development of unconventional reservoirs and also to one of the last remaining frontiers, the exploitation of gas hydrates." --D. O. Timko, Senior Advisor, Gaffney, Cline & Associates, Singapore
Geological Controls for Gas Hydrate Formations and Unconventionals tells the story of unconventional hydrocarbon resources, especially gas hydrates, tight gas, shale gas, liquid- rich shale, and shale oil, to future generations. It presents the most current research in unconventionals, covering structural constituents of continental margins and their role in generating hydrocarbons. Additionally, this book answers basic questions regarding quantifications and characterizations, distributions, modes of occurrence, physical and chemical properties, and more — in essence, all the information that is necessary to improve the models for precision prediction of the enigma of gas hydrates and other unconventionals. Blending geology, geophysics, geomechanics, petrophysics, and reservoir engineering, it explains in simple language the scientific concepts that are necessary to develop geological and reservoir models for unconventionals.Serving as a focal point for geoscientists and engineers conducting research that focuses on reservoir characteristics of unconventionals, Geological Controls for Gas Hydrate Formations and Unconventionals is a useful resource for a variety of other specialiststies including physicists, geochemists, exploration geologists, and petroleum and reservoir engineers. It details the key factors for successful exploration and development of unconventional reservoirs including discovery, data evaluation, full-field development, production, and abandonment, along with a vivid description ofn the worldwide occurrence of unconventional hydrocarbons.
