Description
Since the year 2000, unconventional shale plays have contributed greatly to the global oil and gas supply, particularly in the United States. Understanding and managing these resources requires a unique understanding about the geology, geophysics, rock physics, and rock mechanics of each reservoir in a seamless interdisciplinary approach. Equally important, advanced technologies in seismic and microseismic processing enable professionals to map and identify the hydrocarbon resource and establish the optimum pathways for production.
Features & Benefits

- Create an optimal work flow for a shale resource assessment
- Achieve a greater understanding of a shale resource potential
Audience
- Geologists
- Engineers
- Field level personnel
- Management
- Energy lending and finance professionals
- Students
- Anyone who seeks to understand how, or relies upon, energy markets
