Shale gas and oil development
Shale formations across the U.S. have been developed to produce natural gas in small.Shale is a sedimentary rock that is predominantly comprised of consolidated clayâ€sized particles. As these sediments were buried, they were heated and turned into rock and the organic matter was converted into gas and oil which is trapped in the rock. These rocks are often the source rocks for conventional oil and gas fields but have low permeability hence it is difficult to extract hydrocarbons from them directly . Some principle issues for planning consideration for shale gas and oil developments include
- Air quality and dust
- Noise
- Heritage features
- Site restoration and aftercare
