Fracture Quantification in Naturally

A collaborative effort between industry and government shows progress towards the goal of identifying productive natural fractures in gas reservoirs using seismic methods. Improved geological understanding of mature gas reservoirs in offshore Gulf of Mexico points towards unrecovered resource. A simple new technique to improve primary cement jobs has resulted in a 36 percent decrease in average remedial cementing costs for a group of Canadian gas wells. New Gas Technology Institute facility provides tools for understanding the dynamic behavior of gas hydrate. New solvent exceeds performance targets during test at Canadian sour gas treating facility. An improved model for gas storage caverns has revealed the potential for safely increasing storage capacity by accurately characterizing the plastic behavior of salt.
