MARKET INTRODUCTION
Shale gas is found within the shale formations. Shale gas is also known as schist gas or parent rock gas. Shales are sedimentary rocks that are fine-grained and are rich sources of petroleum and natural gas. Shale gas is a vital source of natural gas in the United States. Different methods are used for the extraction of the gas from the shales. The most common methods used for extraction is hydraulic fracturing. This is banned in many countries because it poses risks for the environment. Shale gas is often used to describe both tight gas and shale gas resources. The main difference between tight gas and shale gas, however, is that tight gas can be found in low permeability sedimentary rocks, such as sandstones, while shale gas rocks are usually impermeable.
