T-390 - Introduction to Unconventional Plays for Management
Introduction
Unconventional plays (primarily Tight Gas/Oil, Shale Gas/Oil and CBM), also referred to as resource plays, are rapidly gaining momentum in the oil & gas industry. In particular in the USA, the ‘shale gas evolution’ has had a remarkable impact during the last decennium. Large quantities of oil and gas are now being produced from Unconventional plays, impacting supply & demand, creating jobs and boosting the economy. The potential for successful Unconventional play development also exists in other parts of the world, but while these plays share a foundation with conventional projects, there are many risks and challenges that are special to onshore resource plays, including non-technical issues.
