This paper gives methods to characterize tight gas reservoirs in sufficient detail to allow an engineer to make accurate long-range production forecasts. These forecasts are the bases for sound engineering and business decisions. Because of the complexity and variability of tight gas reservoirs, the authors can present only general procedures for developing reservoir descriptions. Accordingly, the authors illustrate a reservoir characterization method with three examples of successful tight gas reservoir studies. The procedures in these examples can be modified as needed for other specific formations or areas.
