Shale: subsurface science and engineering
Fundamental conceptual understanding and practical applications for successful subsurface science and engineering of shale is lacking. This volume brings together a series of chapters from recognised experts from industry, academia, private research institutions, and national la…
Advances in theories, methods and applications for shale resource use Shale is the dominant rock in the sedimentary record. It is also the subject of increased interest because of the growing contribution of shale oil and gas to energy supplies, as well as the potential use of s…
A collection of 18 articles describing the mode of emplacement of various types of intrusions is presented in this text. All articles consider the role of regional tectonics in driving or controlling the emplacement of the intrusions.
Siliciclastic mudrocks, often termed shales, represent more than two thirds of all sedimentary rocks on Earth, yet they are probably the least understood. This volume brings together eight articles on current research on mudrocks of academic and industry importance that help cla…
The case studies included in this volume span two overall thematic blocks: the first one focuses on mudstone deposition in several settings and the second focuses on the diagenetic processes that have affected important mudstone units. The two papers opening the volume describe …
