This course is aimed to provide a review of unconventional reservoirs– such as tight sands, coalbed methane, shales, and gas hydrates –an overview of methods used to characterize and evaluate these resources. The objective is to familiarize students with the unique aspects of unconventional reservoirs and to develop a thorough understanding and knowledge of techniques for evaluation of unconventional reservoirs.
Pre-requisites: Undergraduate level knowledge of petroleum geology, petrophysics, formation evaluation, and reservoir engineering.
Este curso hace parte del portafolio de materias de pregrado y posgrado de la Universidad abiertas a todo público.

Contenido
The following topics will be covered:- Overview: Introduction into tight sands, shales, coalbed methane (CBM), and gas hydrates; and featured unconventional plays.
- Geochemical Assessment: Types and sources of organic matter; maturity of organic matter; Vitrinite reflectance; and TOC content and determination.
- Gas Storage Mechanisms: Pore structures; storage mechanisms; adsorption; and determination adsorbed gas.
- Gas Transport Processes: Darcy, non-Darcy, and slip flow; bulk, Knudsen, and surface diffusion; and fluid flow in matrix and fracture.
- Geomechanical Considerations: Natural fracture; rock strength and failure; pore pressure and overpressure; and rock brittleness.
- Reserve and Performance Analysis: Petroleum resources classifications; estimation methodologies; material balance approach; and overview of production data analysis.
- CMG GEM Software: Reservoir simulation of oil and gas production from shale reservoirs using CMG-GEM.
