Integrative Understanding of Shale Gas Reservoirs

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology ((BRIEFSAPPLSCIENCES))

Abstract

In the past decade, shale gas resources have received great attention because of their potential to supply the world with an immense amount of energy. However, production of shale gas is small compared with world reserves and it is concentrated in North America. In other to increase the production of shale gas in the entire world, improved technologies are needed. In this chapter, two technologies are introduced.
