oa Shale Gas Sweet Spot Identification Using Play Fairway Analysis and Shale Gas Reservoir Simulation

Because of the expensive cost of shale gas wells the usage of conventional analysis and statistical techniques in unconventional plays could be economically dangerous and quickly create negative cash flow. Using both a geologic and an engineering approach we have created a workflow that identifies sweet spots within sweet spots. We applied this workflow to the New York Utica Shale.
