How To Overcome The Production and Recovery Challenges of Unconventional Gas Wells

Journal of Petroleum Technology 

In January of 2020, Corterra Energy, an independent exploration and energy production company with operations in the Midcontinent region of Oklahoma, approached Upwing Energy to analyze some of their unconventional wells to better understand the effect of Upwing's Subsurface Compressor System (SCS) on production and recoverable reserves. The analysis was conducted with the Upwing Enhanced Production Simulator (ESP), a proprietary in-house analysis tool, which takes in consideration the reservoir characteristics, the SCS operational envelop, the wellbore dynamics and the topside equipment. The tool has been developed and validated over the course of five well trials, including the company's most recent trial in Riverside Petroleum's New Albany unconventional shale well with a 5,000-foot horizontal wellbore. The reservoir characteristics of the Riverside Petroleum well are very similar to the selected Corterra wells analyzed below. In general, the estimated ultimate recovery of the original gas in place from unconventional horizontal and multi-staged fractured wells is approximately 15 to 20 percent.
