Summary and Overview of Development Technologies of Unconventional Oil and Gas Reservoir

Abstract:

Conventional reservoirs and unconventional reservoirs differ a lot in terms of accumulation mechanism, distribution, exploration evaluation method and technique. Therefore the accumulation study and exploration evaluation for unconventional reservoir are different from that of traditional reservoir. This paper presents five development techniques of unconventional oil and gas resources, their features, advantages and disadvantages and summarizes the current advanced technologies and their development trends.
