Natural gas is the most sought-after oil product in the global primary energy mix. For years, the world has discussed its ability to play a crucial role in creating a robust and sustainable energy future. Recent advancements in shale gas operations in the United States have opened new opportunities for economic and secure natural gas supplies. Unconventional gas has recently emerged as a key energy source widely used in transportation and residential purposes. Hydraulic fracturing produces unconventional oil and gas in which horizontal directional drilling is combined with high-pressure water, sand, and chemicals to fracture rock and release hydrocarbons. Unconventional gas is based on type, i.e. shale gas, tight gas, and coal bed methane. All three gases are used on a huge scale in the industrial process, whereas shale and tight gas are specifically applicable for transportation and domestic purpose.
