Introduction

The extraction of natural gas from shale formations is no simple task and perhaps the most expensive when compared to other unconventional gases. Although its popularity has grown over the years, there is much to be done to make their production and processing more cost-effective.

Brief but comprehensive, Shale Gas Production Processes begins with an overview of the chemistry, engineering, and technology of shale gas. This is quickly followed by self-contained chapters concerning new and evolving process technologies and their applications as well as environmental regulations.

Written in an easy-to-read format, Shale Gas Production Processes will prove useful for those scientists and engineers already engaged in fossil fuel science and technology as well as scientists, non-scientists, engineers, and non-engineers who wish to gain a general overview or update of the science and technology of shale gas. In addition, the book discusses methods used to reduce environmental footprint and improve well performance.
