From boom to bust? A critical look at US shale gas projections [PDF]
US shale gas production is generally expected to continue its fast rise. However, a cautious evaluation is needed. Shale gas resource estimates are potentially overoptimistic and it is uncertain to which extent they can be produced economically. Moreover,

Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracture propagation after thermal shock in shale reservoir
The scale of propagation of hydraulic fractures in deep shale is closely related to the effect of stimulation. In general, the most common means of revealing hydraulic fracture propagation rules are laboratory hydraulic fracture physical simulation ...

Shale gas in Europe: much ado about little? Egmont Paper No. 64, March 2014 [PDF]
Introduction. Shale gas is an unconventional form of gas1 because its extraction is more difficult or less economical than that of conventional natural gas.

Intelligent prediction and integral analysis of shale oil and gas sweet spots
Shale reservoirs are characterized by low porosity and strong anisotropy. Conventional geophysical methods are far from perfect when it comes to the prediction of shale sweet spot locations, and even less reliable when attempting to delineate ...

The EU is unlikely to embrace shale gas as an alternative to Russian gas imports [PDF]
The reliance of European states on gas imports from Russia has been one of the key underlying factors shaping the EU’s response to the Ukraine crisis. However could the use of shale gas help to reduce the EU’s energy dependence on Russia?
