505 2 _aGlobal unconventional oil and gas reserves and their development / John F. Stolz, Cassandra Ziegler, W. Michael Griffin -- Unconventional shale gas and oil extraction in the Appalachian Basin / John F Stolz and W. Michael Griffin -- An overview of unconventional gas extraction in Australia : the first decade / Geralyn McCarron and Shay Dougall.
520 _aThe development of unconventional oil and gas shales using hydraulic fracturing and directional drilling is currently a focal point of energy and climate change discussions. While this technology has provided access to substantial reserves of oil and gas, the need for large quantities of water, emissions, and infrastructure raises concerns over the environmental impacts. Written by an international consortium of experts, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the extraction from unconventional reservoirs, providing clear explanations of the technology and processes involved. Each chapter is devoted to different aspects including global reserves, the status of their development and regulatory framework, water management and contamination, air quality, earthquakes, radioactivity, isotope geochemistry, microbiology, and climate change. Case studies present baseline studies, water monitoring efforts and habitat destruction. This book is accessible to a wide audience, from academics to industry professionals and policy makers interested in environmental pollution and petroleum exploration.
