COLLEGE STATION, Texas, Oct. 14 (TNSRes) -- Texas A&M University's College of Engineering issued the following news:
When engineers fracture a shale reservoir and connect natural networks of cracks so oil and gas can flow efficiently back to the well, they base their efforts on maps created by reservoir simulators. Since simulators often use probability to predict where these nearly invisible natural networks are, one researcher from Texas A&M University is eliminating . . .
