TGAS: the Tight Gas Analysis System. Volume One. Overview. [In low permeability formations]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5682212
; ; ;
In 1980, the National Petroleum Council (NPC) published the most authoritative and comprehensive to date estimates of the technical and economic potential of tight gas sands. While the NPC study remains the landmark effort on this subject, its estimates for recoverable natural gas are considered by many to be optimistic. The Gas Research Institute and the US Department of Energy jointly commissioned construction of the Tight Gas Analysis System (TGAS) as a vehicle to perform systematic sensitivity analyses of the NPC study, to serve as a repository for future additions to the data base and analytical understandings of the technology, and to estimate the benefits of specified R and D advances. This report describes TGAS briefly, demonstrates its reconciliation with published NPC results, and reports sensitivity analyses of the geological, technological and economic assumptions inherent in the NPC study. 5 references.
