Shale Gas & Shale Oil Shale gas and Shale
oil are fossil fuels trapped in the deep and low porosity sedimentary
rocks of shale, often located more than 3 km depth below earth surface.
They are considered unconventional energy sources because the fuels
are contained in difficult-to-produce reservoirs, which require special
advanced technologies to achieve economic production. | Related Links http://www.eia.gov/analysis/studies/worldshalegas/
