The development of unconventional oil and gas shales using
hydraulic fracturing and directional drilling is currently a focal
point of energy and climate change discussions. While this
technology has provided access to substantial reserves of oil and
gas, the need for large quantities of water, emissions, and
infrastructure raises concerns over the environmental impacts.
Written by an international consortium of experts, this book
provides a comprehensive overview of the extraction from
unconventional reservoirs, providing clear explanations of the
technology and processes involved. Each chapter is devoted to
different aspects including global reserves, the status of their
development and regulatory framework, water management and
contamination, air quality, earthquakes, radioactivity, isotope
geochemistry, microbiology, and climate change. Case studies
present baseline studies, water monitoring efforts and habitat
destruction. This book is accessible to a wide audience, from
academics to industry professionals and policy makers interested in
environmental pollution and petroleum exploration.
