Gas Shale – Lecture questionnaire

Professor: Moustafa Oraby

True or False
1. The lower the porosity in unconventional rocks, the lower the quality of the
reservoirs.
2. Vertical wells are the best development option in unconventional reservoirs.
3. The higher the S2 in unconventional reservoirs, the higher the production potential.
4. The lower the S3 in unconventional reservoirs, the better the reservoir quality.
5. The lamination nature of the unconventional reservoirs requires horizontal drilling
and perforation for production optimization.
6. The organic materials in unconventional reservoirs are spotted by the high Uranium
component in the spectral gamma ray logs.
7. Desorption is the process responsible of generating hydrocarbon in the
unconventional reservoirs.
8. Organic matters require low temperature to produce the hydrocarbon gas.
9. The S1 is the hydrocarbon saturation to be produced from the source rock.
10. The production rate in unconventional reservoir is low but stays for a very long time.
