Management and Development of Unconventional Resources

Because oil and natural gas trapped in less permeable rocks cannot be explored, exploited, or produced using conventional methods, they are referred to as unconventional resources. Unconventional resources are resources, such as oil or natural gas, that do not exist in conventional formations and require specialized extraction or production processes to extract the fuel. Hydraulic fracturing, often known as fracking or fracing, is a technique for extracting natural gas from low-permeability subterranean rocks like shale and tight sandstone. Specific development technologies are required to exploit the many forms of unconventional gas that are diverse in occurrence, geological conditions, and development rules. They can only be developed for as long as they can be removed from the ground safely and affordably. To ensure sustainable development, it is now vital to manage unconventional resources.
