Where Does Unconventional Resource Development Go from Here?

摘要

Unconventional resource development has a remarkable history, combining breakthroughs and advances in both technology and geoscience. The pace of progress might have slowed in recent years, but that history is still being written. As a brief timeline, the 1990s were years of experimentation in unconventionals, leading into a decade when the oil and gas industry learned how to apply the coupled techniques of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.
