Shale Gas(셰일 가스) Shale is one of the most common sedimentary rocks in the world and it is primarily composed of clay and fragments of other minerals such as quartz and calcite. Shale can be the source‚ reservoir and the seal for natural gas. Shale formations normally have low permeability (limited ability for gas or fluids to flow easily through the shale formation) and normally require stimulation techniques (such as fracturing) to economically produce shale gas. Shale gas is natural gas that

It has been labelled as an unconventional natural gas along with tight gas and shale gas. They are labelled as "unconventional" as a result of their unusual reservoir types. It is removed from coal seams that are 300 - 1000 metres underground‚ and it is mainly composed of methane gas. It is typically extracted by drilling a steel-encased hole
