Basics of Shale Prospects

Level: Awareness | Type: Classroom | Discipline: Unconventional Gas

Due to increasing global demand for clean hydrocarbons, the E&P companies are in search of unconventional resources. These unconventional resources include hydrocarbons recovered directly from organic rich shales. The approach required to economically extract oil and gas from shales is different as compared to conventional reservoirs and is continuously being evolved and improved. What started as an experiment more than three decades ago promises to be a major source of energy for decades to come.
