The Fossil Fuel Revolution: Shale Gas and Tight Oil

The Fossil Fuel Revolution: Shale Gas and Tight Oil describes the geologic life cycle of shale gas and tight oil. Although shale is considered by many people to be a simple, uniform and homogenous rock type, in reality it is variable and complex, thus making general characterizations of shale extremely difficult. This book will serve as a reference on shale gas and tight oil for industry members, undergraduate and graduate students, engineers and geoscientists. It includes case studies in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia to enhance understanding. Provides a cross-cutting view of shale gas and tight oil in the context of geology, petroleum engineering, and practical and economic industry aspects Includes a comprehensive list of shale case studies in a single source, thus allowing readers to compare and contrast production from different shale plays Features an extensive resource list of peer-reviewed references, websites, and journals provided at the end of each chapter
