Unconventional Hydrocarbon Resources: Techniques for Reservoir Engineering Analysis

A comprehensive textbook presenting techniques for the analysis and characterization of shale plays

Significant reserves of hydrocarbons cannot be extracted using conventional methods. Improvements in techniques such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have increased access to unconventional hydrocarbon resources, ushering in the “shale boom” and disrupting the energy sector.

Unconventional Hydrocarbon Resources: Techniques for Reservoir Engineering Analysis covers the geochemis...
