Petroleum Geology Of The Devonian Mississippian Black Shale Of Eastern North America September 1990

This area is unique because of its geologic characteristics & economic potential. This report is the results of a continuing shale characterization study to evaluate the shale's gas potential & to enhance its gas production. 14 chapters cover: development history, detailed documentation, clay mineralogy relative to thermal history, basin analyses, petrographic character & reservoir quality, hydrocarbon potential & source rock assessment, etc. An estimate of the in-place natural gas resource is also presented. 13 plates in separate case.

Over the past 20 years, the concept of storing or permanently storing carbon dioxide in geological media has gained increasing attention as part of the important technology option of carbon capture and storage within a portfolio of options aimed at reducing anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases to the earths atmosphere. This book is structured into eight parts, and, among other topics, provides an overview of the current status and challenges of the science, regional assessment studies of carbon dioxide geological sequestration potential, and a discussion of the economics and regulatory aspects of carbon dioxide sequestration.
