Population genetics. Population genetics is a subfield of genetics that deals with genetic differences within and between populations, and is a part of evolutionary biology. Studies in this branch of biology examine such phenomena as adaptation, speciation, and population structure.
In the fluid-filled case, the wellbore is presumed to be full of either all liquid or gas which gets compressed as afterflow continues into the wellbore. The wellbore storage constant (C) is a function of the wellbore volume (Vw) and the wellbore fluid compressibility (cwb) as shown below: For a fluid-filled wellbore:
Wellbore integrity (and the risk of gas leakage from wells) is as much an issue for conventional gas as it is for shale. Dealing with contaminated produced water is always an issue for conventional reservoirs, much as it will be for shale.
