In unconventional reservoirs (e.g. organic rich shales, tight sandstones, or chalks) low porosity and permeability inhibit fluid flow through the matrix to a producing well. Fluid and proppant injection at high pressures leads to reactivation of in situ fractures and the generation of new hydraulic fractures. These fractures provide high permeability conduits to the well, thus allowing viable production from otherwise unproducible formations. Quantifying the extent and type of this deformation helps to define the drainage capability of a well and thus the production potential. Useful techniques for quantifying this deformation include numerical modeling of flow and deformation and of microseismic monitoring of the injection (see Maxwell et al., 2015).
