Since the beginning of the US shale gas revolution in 2005, the development of unconventional oil and gas resources has gathered tremendous pace around the world. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the key geologic, geophysical, and engineering principles that govern the development of unconventional reservoirs. The book begins with a detailed characterization of unconventional reservoir rocks: their composition and microstructure, mechanical properties, and the processes controlling fault slip and fluid flow. A discussion of geomechanical principles follows, including the state of stress, pore pressure, and the importance of fractures and faults. After reviewing the fundamentals of horizontal drilling, multistage hydraulic fracturing, and stimulation of slip on preexisting faults, the key factors impacting hydrocarbon production are explored. The final chapters cover environmental impacts and how to mitigate hazards associated with induced seismicity. This text provides an essential overview for students, researchers, and industry professionals interested in unconventional reservoirs.

This book on unconventional reservoir geomechanics is a must-read for anyone in the oil and gas industry. The sections discussing shale gas and tight oil are incredibly detailed. The authors did a great job addressing induced seismicity, which is a hot topic right now.

Great Resource, but Some Complex Sections
I found this book valuable for my research, especially the parts about tight oil. However, a few chapters were a bit hard to follow for someone not deeply ingrained in geomechanics. But it’s still a solid addition to any geosciences library.

A Solid Overview with Practical Applications
This book provides a solid overview of geomechanics related to shale gas. I appreciated the practical case studies included, which helped me relate the theory to real-world applications. Definitely worth it for practitioners.

Excellent for Graduate Studies
As a graduate student in petroleum engineering, this book is incredibly helpful! It dives deep into the mechanisms of shale gas extraction and the implications on seismic activity. I recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their knowledge.

Minor Issues with Delivery
The content is great, but I had some issues with delivery; it took longer than expected to arrive. The book itself is well written and covers a lot of essential topics within geomechanics for oil extraction.
