Abstract: To overcome the challenges specific to unconventional reservoirs technologies is needed Design & Testing. Specific reservoir attributes and diagenetic configurations are the solutions to overcome rock and reservoir quality uncertainty, a common scenario in unconventional reservoirs. Enhanced reservoir evaluation allows future planning for drilling and completion strategies. Sensitivity analysis improves increasing the knowledge of the unconventional reservoir behavior and the corresponding impact on the reservoir drainage performance.

Characterizing geomechanical parameters of an unconventional reservoir includes calibrated mechanical earth models. This reduces uncertainty in the geological and geomechanical parameters used to design operations. This report takes Vadaparu shale as a sample for analysis.
