Intro Over the past decade the U.S. has lead a shale development revolution. Through vast discoveries of this unconventional gas in the U.S., and continued learning and perfecting of hydraulic fracturing, the U.S. has been able to access unprecedented reserves which now make up 50% of domestic output, according to a paper published by the […]
