With the surge in fracking and horizontal drilling, oil and gas production in the U.S. has increased dramatically during the last decade. Annual shale gas production in the U.S. grew from about 1 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) in 2006, to about 9.7 Tcf in 2012, and is expected to grow to about 19.8 Tcf by 2040; shale gas in 2014 comprises more than filexlib. shale, has resulted in a glut of U.S. natural gas supply and the lowest domestic gas prices in over a decade. Absent any new constraints, unconventional gas is projected to become the dominant source of the U.S. natural gas supply by 2040. This unprecedented growth of natural gas production is driving Water's Journey through the shale gas drilling and production processes in the mid Atlantic region. 18 3 weeks 4-6 weeks 1-3 months .

DOE/Lawrence Livermore National Labs. 2011. This paper investigates the efficiency of miscible gas (solvent) injection into shale oil reservoirs with a wide range of permeability (from 1 to 100 µD). We set up a large-scale numerical model to simulate and capture the important mechanisms behind various miscible gas injection and geological storage scenarios.
shale gas - more than triple to 1.6 trillion cubic metres (60 trillion cubic feet) 2 by 2035. While the rise of unconventional shale gas production will increase a sense of energy security in certain markets, it also brings a complex set of challenges at global and local levels (see section 2), regarding:
Natural gas production from oil and gas bearing organic-rich mudstone formations, known as "shale gas," is a rapidly expanding trend in onshore oil and gas explora-tion and production today, even though so far shale gas production has been started only in the U.S. In some areas, this has included bringing drilling and pro-
that gas desorption from shale rock surface may contribute to extra gas production for EUR from shale gas re-servoirs. Cipolla et al. [4] [5] has reported that gas desorption contain up to 22 of the total gas production in % 30-year period of production for two major producer in the US, Barnett shale and Marcellus shale. The signifi-
Similarly, a dramatic increase in gas production due to shale gas resource plays is also evident. In 1998 shale gas systems only supplied about 2% of gas reserves in the USA with production primarily from fi ve plays including the Lewis, Barnett, New Albany, Ohio, and Antrim shales, whereas in 2013, this total reached 23% (EIA, 2014).

natural gas, known as shale gas. Shale gas is found at various depths but is typically located deeper than 1000 metres. Shale gas mainly consists of methane (although other gases may be present). Over time, some of the gas may migrate into an overlying rock unit such as permeable sandstone. This is classified as
