To unlock the oil from these tight rocks, the reservoir is stimulated using the same technologies as in shale gas production. Tight oil wells have production profiles similar to those of shale gas wells—they have an initial and relatively short lived peak, before stabilizing at a lower output level that can continue for decades.
