Traditionally, shutting in a well has been viewed as potentially detrimental to well performance, due to water imbibition.  However, operators in several of the shale plays have noticed that well performance, in terms of flow capacity, can significantly increase after an extended shut-in period.  This phenomena has been referred to as "soaking" a well.  This …

Oil and gas operators are inherently good with structured data, naturally, as this is the very data in which their decisions are based. Unstructured data has always been the thorn in the side of the data hungry oil and gas operator. Every geologist or engineer has asked themselves at least a time or two in …
