Gas Exploration, sometimes known as ‘hydraulic fracturing’ or ‘fracking’ is the process of drilling into the earth and pumping the gaps full of high-pressure water to release the natural gases found inside. ‘Fracking’ is the description of how the rocks are fractured during the process of gas extraction. How Does It Work? The process is carried out by drilling vertically or horizontally into the earth.
What is Shale Gas? Shale gas is a natural gas that is found in shale rock, buried deep underground. This natural gas made mainly from methane is a natural gas that is used primarily for domestic uses such as heating and cooking. Shale is different from most other natural gases in that it cannot flow naturally through rocks- hence the need for fracturing the rocks apart in order to access this natural fuel. What Are Exploration and Production Companies? An E&P company such as some Gas Exploration companies in Australia, where incorporations that are involved in this high risk/ high reward area of exploration focus on finding, producing and merchandising different types of oil and gas. Additionally, they build infrastructure and collect analytical data, as well as working with a variety of contractors such as engineering procurement and construction.
