Extended Abstract—Shale Resource Systems for Oil and Gas

S hale resource systems have had a dramatic impact on the supply of oil and especially gas in North America, in fact, making United States energy independent in natural gas reserves. These shale resource systems are typically organic-rich mudstones that serve as both source and reservoir rock or source petroleum found in juxtaposed organic-lean facies. Success in producing gas and oil from thes...

About the Cover: Black carbon (BC) containing particles have an important role to play in climate change; directly heating through absorption of radiation, and/or indirectly cooling through the seeding of clouds. New research in this issue, using a mobile laboratory indicates that gasoline powered cars may produce more BC than previously considered. Transmission electron microscopy background i...
