Shale gas is natural gas that is found trapped within shale formations. Shale gas has become an increasingly important source of natural gas in the United States since the start of this century, and interest has spread to potential gas shales in the rest of the world.
In 2000 shale gas provided only 1% of U.S. natural gas production; by 2010 it was over 20% and it is predicted that by 2035, 46% of the United States' natural gas supply will come from shale gas.
In this course, you’ll learn the basic geology behind how shale gas is formed. You’ll discover how new technologies are enabling production of shales that was previously not feasible. Finally, the course provides data and comparisons of the seven most active gas shale basins in the U.S.
