Book synopsis

Sustainable Shale Oil and Gas Production: Analytical, Biochemical, and Geochemical Methods offers a detailed discussion of the operational details of production and environmental pitfalls of fracking, going beyond productivity improvement objectives to explore cutting-edge analytic techniques and provide a better understanding of the issues and possible solutions. The book spells out the objectives and current issues in this field, and describes in detail the use of currently available chemistry techniques to resolve them. Hydraulic fracturing is the key technology enabling the production of shale oil and gas, and analytical chemistry plays a prominent role in this field. It is central to the three tenets of sustainable production: to be profitable, to protect the environment, and to protect the health of local communities. Each objective is significantly enabled by the use of appropriate analytical chemistry, and in some cases the development of new techniques will be required. Provides a clear understanding of the potential environmental issues as well as a path to solutionsIncludes background information for understanding potential impacts of shale operations from both an environmental and public health perspectiveAuthored by leaders from diverse disciplines with expertise in a variety of areas: groundwater quality, petroleum-related operations, microbial ecology, and electronic technologiesReviews new sensing and evaluation methods that could be key enablers to sustainable fracking: portable mass spectrometry, microbiome analysis, DNA as tracers, and a microparticulate matter detector
