Integrated model approach achieves unparalleled results in shale gas recovery.
Organically rich gas shale reservoirs, once ignored by operators seeking easier plays and faster returns on investments, are boosting US natural gas reserves. According to the US Energy Information Administration in 2007, 3.6 x 1012 m3 of shale gas are technically recoverable from these reservoirs. The challenge is to release it from rock as impermeable as concrete.
