Shale Gas Future: Global Distribution and Industry Impacts
Chemical Engineering magazine has posted a free on-demand webinar on the distribution of shale across the globe and the enormous petroleum resources they represent.
The webinar will discuss what has been learned about the economics of drilling key shale plays in North America that might inform shale exploration and development elsewhere in the world. I also will address the areas around that world that represent “shale frontiers.”
Other topics include the important considerations for exploration, well planning and development in shale deposits and how they differ compared to those for conventional petroleum; the environmental implications of global shale development; the differences in data gathering and technical analyses for conventional versus unconventional petroleum deposits; products that are limited by the shift toward cracking lighter feedstocks; and the opportunities available for on-purpose production of those limited products.
