CMG Training

Modelling of Shale, Tight Oil and Gas Reservoirs

If you would like a copy of previous training materials or more information, please contact us.

Course Overview and Content

Learn how to apply GEM’s advanced functionality to model shale and/or tight oil and gas. Identify and model different hydraulic fracture methods, including:

Planar fracture
Complex fracture networks
Creating fractures from microseismic data using Builder

This course will teach attendees how to effectively simulate an unconventional reservoir using GEM and successfully apply uncertainty analysis concepts and assisted history matching principles to the model.

Course Content

Input shale gas reservoir characteristics (e.g. adsorption and diffusion)
Model a dual permeability system with a natural fracture network
Model planar and complex hydraulic fractures
Incorporate microseismic data

Perform sensitivity analyses and history matches for a tight reservoir using CMOST
Hands-on experience using GEM and IMEX for:
- Shale gas
- Tight oil
- Tight gas-condensate
