DOE research is developing the physical basis and tools needed to manage pressure effectively to increase recovery efficiency. By coupling fast, accurate physics with machine learning, DOE is producing science-based platforms any operator can use. DOE’s research portfolio is targeting hydrocarbon transport at multiple scales, with the goal of increasing recovery efficiency. DOE’s research has led to new, fast & accurate platforms for predicting gas production from fractured shales. Using data from the MSEEL-I site to calibrate our physics-based model, we have early results on pressure management. We have shown that both mechanical and chemical processes in the matrix can negatively impact production.
