Shale gas. Shale is a fine-grained, sedimentary rock formed as a result of the compaction of clay, silt, mud and organic matter over time and is usually considered equivalent to mudstone. Shales were deposited in ancient seas, river deltas, lakes and lagoons and are one of the most abundant sedimentary rock types, found at both the Earth's ...
(All figures from the US Energy Information Administration.) Projections by the US Energy Information Administration in 2016 estimated that shale gas would …
Natural gas - Shale, Extraction, Energy: Shale gas was generated from organic mud deposited at the bottom of ancient bodies of water. Subsequent sedimentation and the resultant heat and pressure transformed the mud into shale and also produced natural gas from the organic matter contained in it. Over long spans of geologic time, some of the …
The US shale revolution has reshaped the energy landscape at home and abroad, according to latest IEA policy review - News from the International Energy Agency.
A report by AMEC Environment & Infrastructure UK Limited for the then-Department of Energy and Climate Change, published in 2013, calculated that the onshore production of unconventional oil and gas, at its peak, could create between 16,000 and 32,000 jobs (direct, indirect and induced) under a high activity scenario with production of …
