The goals of this workshop were fourfold. The first was to identify modeling needs that should be addressed by government-sponsored research. The second was to inform researchers about METC's assigned role as DOE's lead center for the study of unconventional gas recovery, particularly in developing predictive capabilities for: eastern gas shales; coalbed methane; tight sands; gas hydrates; deep source gas; and geopressured aquifers. The next goal was to establish a much needed and valuable interdisciplinary exchange of unconventional gas recovery information. The final goal was to address specific simulation topics: geologic modeling, stimulation modeling, and reservoir performance modeling. Each of the three sessions of the workshop covered one of these topics. Perhaps the most significant conclusion of the workshop is that every type of simulator discussed needs better input data. A need exists for more sophisticated methods of characterizing the reservoirs being studied to couple with the complexity of state-of-the-art models. This is true for all models, from the most sophisticated reservoir performance models to simplified field oriented predictive tools. Twelve extended abstracts in this proceedings were processed for inclusion in the Energy Data Base.
