"In Groundswell, Ezra Levant examines the fracking revolution. Fracking (from "fracturing") involves injecting millions of gallons of water mixed with sand and chemicals into a well deep underground to fracture shale rock and release previously inaccessible reserves of oil and g…
In a few short years, the discovery of vast reserves of until now unreachable natural gas, and the adoption of a process to get at it, have brought about a shale-gas revolution. Fracking involves the injection of millions of gallons of water mixed with sand and chemicals into a …
La 4ème de couv. indique : "Que se passerait-il si la France décidait d'exploiter son gaz de schiste ? Y aurait-il des créations d'emplois, une baisse du prix de l'énergie ou un retour de la compétitivité ? Accéderions-nous au Graal de l'indépendance énergétique ? Tomas Porcher …
This book provides an introduction to shale gas resources as well as a basic understanding of the geomechanical properties of shale, the need for hydraulic fracturing, and an indication of shale gas processing. It also examines the issues regarding the nature of shale gas develo…
Natural gas and crude oil production from hydrocarbon rich deep shale formations is one of the most quickly expanding trends in domestic oil and gas exploration. Vast new natural gas and oil resources are being discovered every year across North America and one of those new reso…
Discusses the remarkable new energy resources being obtained from shale gas and tight oil through a combination of directional drilling and staged hydraulic fracturing, opening up substantial new energy reserves for the 21st Century. The book includes the history of shale gas de…
