Development, adaptation and testing of remote, non-powered sampling systems fortemporal characterization of hydraulically fractured shale systems

Creator:

Neumann, Kyle

Abstract:

Extraction of natural gas from shale formations using the process of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) requires the use of thousands of cubic meters of fluid. Hydraulic fracturing fluids are pumped under pressure into shale formations, fracturing the shale and releasing pockets of trapped gases. When the pressure in a natural gas...
