The article mentions that the goal of natural fracture prediction technologies is to discern the likely location, orientation, and relative aperture of natural fractures from the structural configuration of an area and the mechanical qualities of the reservoir rock. This "geomechanical approach" can augment or be augmented by direct detection...
Throughout the 1900s, the nation relied almost entirely on shallow, high-quality reservoirs to provide natural gas. However, as the "low-hanging fruit" of the nation's resource base are picked, it is becoming increasingly necessary to drill into more complex, deeper, and lower-quality reservoirs to meet rising demands. One of the keys...
The paper states that the goal of advanced fracture detection technologies is to observe subsurface fractures prior to drilling. The paper also elaborates on detection technologies that generally rely on advanced seismic collection and analysis techniques to reveal directional differences anisotropies in the reservoir's seismic response that may be related...

Basin-centered settings do possess isolated pockets of enhanced reservoir quality. Furthermore, contrary to earlier thinking on basin-centered systems, recently drilling results indicates that simply finding the sweet spots in reservoir quality is not sufficient to ensure success - it is also necessary to assess whether the reservoir will produce gas...
The article states that currently, the art of selecting locations of natural gas and oil development wells relies primarily on information acquired from two sources of significantly different resolution. Surface seismic surveys provide a coarse overview of the stratigraphy and structure in the region surveyed. However, the resolution of surface...
