Development of shale resources worldwide has skyrocketed, with a significant increase in the number of new areas being explored. Shale resources—particularly gas, but also liquids-rich shales—are making increasing contributions to world energy markets; the growth of shale gas is beginning to have a significant impact on worldwide natural gas markets as well.

 

This CD collection contains 37 papers (most from the 2008-2011 time period) that address all aspects of shale resource development; the papers cover shale systems containing all fluid types.

 

Topics covered include: Geology, Reservoir Properties, and Geomechanics; Drilling and Completions; Stimulation; Reservoir Engineering, Evaluation, and Analysis.
