Unconventional Sweet Spots Volume 5.4
A Word from Search andDiscovery Digest EditorRon Broadhead
July 23, 2015
Sweet spots in unconventional reservoirs are the focus of thisissue of the Search and Discovery Digest. Now thatexploration and development of several unconventionalreservoirs has become more mature, geoscientists andengineers have started to identify variables that control thelocations of the sweet spots in those reservoirs. Thatknowledge is provided to us through the articles listed in thisissue of the Search and Discovery Digest. As always, pleaseextend appreciation to the authors of the studies listed belowfor allowing their work to be published on Search andDiscovery.
