Advances in theories, methods and applications for shale resource
use Shale is the dominant rock in the sedimentary record. It is
also the subject of increased interest because of the growing
contribution of shale oil and gas to energy supplies, as well as
the potential use of shale formations for carbon dioxide
sequestration and nuclear waste storage. Shale: Subsurface Science
and Engineering brings together geoscience and engineering to
present the latest models, methods and applications for
understanding and exploiting shale formations. Volume highlights
include: Review of current knowledge on shale geology Latest shale
engineering methods such as horizontal drilling Reservoir
management practices for optimized oil and gas field development
Examples of economically and environmentally viable methods of
hydrocarbon extraction from shale Discussion of issues relating to
hydraulic fracking, carbon sequestration, and nuclear waste storage
Book Review: I. D. Sasowsky, University of Akron, Ohio, September
2020 issue of CHOICE, CHOICE connect, A publication of the
Association of College and Research Libraries, A division of the
American Library Association, Connecticut, USA Shale has a long
history of use as construction fill and a ceramic precursor. In
recent years, its potential as a petroleum reservoir has generated
renewed interest and intense scientific investigation. Such work
has been significantly aided by the development of instrumentation
capable of examining and imaging these very fine-grained materials.
This timely multliauthor volume brings together 15 studies covering
many facets of the related science. The book is presented in two
sections: an overview and a second section emphasizing
unconventional oil and gas. Topics covered include shale chemistry,
metals content, rock mechanics, borehole stability, modeling, and
fluid flow, to name only a few. The introductory chapter (24 pages)
is useful and extensively referenced. The lead chapter to the
second half of the book, "Characterization of Unconventional
Resource Shales," provides a notably detailed analysis supporting a
comprehensive production workflow. The book is richly illustrated
in full color, featuring high-quality images, graphs, and charts.
The extensive index provides depth of access to the volume. This
work will be of special interest to a diverse group of
investigators moving forward with understanding this fascinating
group of rocks. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division
undergraduates through faculty and professionals.
