Natural gas and crude oil production from hydrocarbon rich deep
shale formations is one of the most quickly expanding trends in
domestic oil and gas exploration. Vast new natural gas and oil
resources are being discovered every year across North America and
one of those new resources comes from the development of deep shale
formations, typically located many thousands of feet below the
surface of the Earth in tight, low permeability formations. Deep
Shale Oil and Gas provides an introduction to shale gas resources
as well as offer a basic understanding of the geomechanical
properties of shale, the need for hydraulic fracturing, and an
indication of shale gas processing. The book also examines the
issues regarding the nature of shale gas development, the potential
environmental impacts, and the ability of the current regulatory
structure to deal with these issues. Deep Shale Oil and Gas
delivers a useful reference that today's petroleum and natural gas
engineer can use to make informed decisions about meeting and
managing the challenges they may face in the development of these
resources.
