Results for tag: "Unconventional Gas"

Unconventional gas is a type of natural gas that is found in low-permeability reservoirs such as shale, tight sandstone, and coal beds. It is extracted through unconventional methods such as hydraulic fracturing, horizontal drilling, and underground coal gasification. Unconventional gas is often referred to as “unconventional” because it is more difficult to extract than conventional gas. Unconventional gas has become increasingly important in recent years due to its abundance and low cost. It is often used as a substitute for conventional gas, which is becoming increasingly scarce. In addition, unconventional gas is often used to supplement conventional gas supplies, providing a more reliable and cost-effective energy source. Unconventional gas is becoming increasingly important in the global energy market. It is expected to play a major role in meeting the world’s energy needs in the coming years. Some of the major companies in the unconventional gas market include ExxonMobil, Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell, BP, and Total. Other companies include Anadarko Petroleum, ConocoPhillips, and Marathon Oil. Show Less Read more
