Overview of the Shale Gas Market (ON-DEMAND) - SGM
Course Summary
Shale Gas has changed the dynamics of the global natural gas industry. The development of techniques to economically free natural gas trapped in shale rock reversed the trend of stagnant gas production growth in North America, increased gas reserves and has limited natural gas price volatility. This course will introduce you to the technical basics, as well as the issues and challenges encountered to further shale gas development.
