Sommario/riassunto

This book provides an introduction to shale gas resources as well as a basic understanding of the geomechanical properties of shale, the need for hydraulic fracturing, and an indication of shale gas processing. It also examines the issues regarding the nature of shale gas development, the potential environmental impacts, and the ability of the current regulatory structure to deal with these issues. It is geared towards petroleum and natural gas engineers.
