Eastern mineback: study of advanced stimulation/production in the Devonian shales
The Eastern Gas Shale Mineback Program has evolved from an assessment of the state-of-the-art problems of gas recovery from the eastern Devonian shales. After 10 years of Devonian shale research conducted under the direction of the Eastern Gas Shale Project (EGSP) Office at the U.S. DOE's Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC), the remaining major issues for developing the shale resource have been defined, and this program has been formulated to address those specific recovery problems. Numerous field, laboratory, and theoretical stimulation studies have been conducted. However, the large number of reservoir pre-existing, unmeasureable conditions and the numerous post-stimulation effects that cannot be measured or observed have virtually stagnated further stimulation technology development through the normal indirect engineering research and development approach.
