Resumé
Shale gas is an unconventional energy resource produced directly from the shale source rock itself. Gas productive units are characterised by being regionally extensive and thick, organic rich, and by being buried deep enough to have generated gas. The extraction technique for shale gas (horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing) was developed in North America. The new technique unlocked a huge quantity of natural gas which has impacted the Global energy market tremendously.
