Fair shale gas water cost distribution using Nash bargaining game

• This work aims at fair cost distribution amongst shale gas companies. An MILP model is proposed using the Nash bargaining game theory. Optimal water management strategies. Results indicate savings between 30% and 50% for participating In this work, we address optimal strategies among various companies placed in same play. A mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) formulation with objective of maximizing product presented including analysis different policies to determine most appropriate transportation distribution. As a result maximization transfer designation formulation, problem includes non-linearities function which hinders its resolution. Therefore, solve effectively, apply logarithmic operation separable approach reformulate Glover's linearization bilinear terms appearing designation. Finally, applicability illustrated case study comprising 4 Then, an example 10 performed analyse behaviour considering larger problem.
