New horizon in energy: Shale gas

Today shale gas is one of the fastest growing propensities in onshore domestic oil and gas exploration and production. It is accepted to be unconventional source as the gas may be attached to or adsorbed onto organic matter. Its growing importance globally has led to the requirement for a deeper meaning of shale behavior. This study gives the properties, resources, reservoirs of shale gas and present information about technologies and the environmental impacts in the development of use of shale gas as energy source.
