Natural Gas from Shale: Questions and Answers

ByU.S. Department of EnergyOffice of Fossil Energy

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Natural gas production from “shale” formations (fine-grained sedimentary rocks with relatively low permeability that can be rich sources of petroleum and natural gas) is one of the most rapidly-growing trends in U.S. domestic energy exploration and production. In some cases, this fast expansion has resulted in natural gas drilling and production activity in parts of the country that have seen little or no activity of this type in the recent past. “Natural Gas from Shale” explains the basics, including what shale gas is, where it’s found, why it’s important, how it’s produced, and challenges associated with production. Also included are a list of frequently asked questions, a glossary of major terms, and a list of resources and links for additional information.
