Crude oil and natural gas production from shale formations continues to gain a place in the oil and gas industry with more refineries upgrading and expanding their capacities. Engineers today, especially early career, are still grappling to understand the processing and variable by-products produced from shale, along with the economics and environmental issues surrounding these more complex feedstocks. Shale Oil and Gas Production Processes delivers the basics on current production technology, processing and refining from shale formations. Starting with the potential from formations, production, and completion, this foundational resource also dives into the chemical and physical nature of the precursor of oil shale, kerogen in order to better understand the properties in shale to optimize. Rounding out with the reporting of oil shale, in situ retorting, refining, and environmental aspects, Shale Oil and Gas Production Processes gives engineers and managers a strong starting point on understanding and managing the challenges and current processes to accompany further development of these more complex resources. Understand the production technology, processing, and refining of shale oil and gasGrasp current research on the nature of production from shale formations, including properties and compositionFill in the gaps between research and practical application with existing literature discussed as well as a glossary INDICE: Part I: Gas and Oil from Tight Shale 1.
