Bibliography Note:Includes bibliographical references and index.
Note:Fundamental conceptual understanding and practical applications for successful subsurface science and engineering of shale is lacking. This volume brings together a series of chapters from recognised experts from industry, academia, private research institutions, and national laboratories compiling of a state-of-the-art of current science and engineering practices involving this most enigmatic of rock types.
