The EMD Tight Oil and Gas Committee (formerly the Shale Gas & Liquids and Tight Gas Sands Committees) provides AAPG members with an outlet for technical information related to shale oil and gas as well as associated condensate resources and produces annual reports summarizing current information on the largest developed and developing plays in U.S. and international basins. Tight oil and gas or “shale” resources have been the focus of extensive development over the past 15+ years due to improvements in engineering, stimulation technology, recovery, and the abundance of reservoirs. International interests in developing unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs continue to grow, with active exploration projects on most continents, but most of the successful development of and production from shales continues to be in North America. The success of shale liquid plays in the Permian Basin and the Bakken and Eagle Ford Shales have led to a reversal in U.S. oil production after 20 years of decline.
