Extracting hydrocarbons from unconventional resources presents unique challenges, requiring specialized technologies and innovative strategies. Unconventional resources: Shale gas, tight oil & heavy oil demand advanced drilling techniques, hydraulic fracturing, and reservoir stimulation to unlock their full potential. Horizontal drilling and multi-stage fracturing have enabled economic extraction from shale formations, while thermal and solvent-based methods improve recovery from heavy oil reservoirs. The integration of digital technologies enhances reservoir modeling, optimizing production efficiency. Despite concerns over environmental impact, new water recycling techniques and carbon capture strategies are addressing sustainability challenges. The continued development of unconventional resources is reshaping global energy markets, ensuring long-term energy security.
