Shale gas is extracted using an amalgamation of different methods and technologies, the most important being directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Shale gas is natural gas trapped within shale formations. Shale formations have low permeability which historically had made extraction a difficult process and not economically viable. Today advances in directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing […]

Basically, Shale gas is natural gas – primarily methane – found in shale formations, some of which were formed300-million-to-400-million years ago during the Devonian period of Earth’s history. The shales weredeposited as fine silt and clay particles at the bottom of relatively enclosed bodies of water. Some of the methane that formed from the organic matter

Coal Bed Methane (CBM) are Hydrocarbon gases formed in coal beds during the coal matter metamorphism process, i.e. changing of its structure, properties, and composition under exposure to temperature and pressure. Their main component is methane, whose concentration in the mixture reaches from 80 to 98 per cent. During coal mining, it was important to
