He has also presented on shale topics at AAPG and other industry group meetings. He is a co-author of a recently published industry book, “Modern Fracturing, Enhancing Natural Gas Production.”

This e-symposium will focus on hydraulic fracture geometry in shales, the materials used in the fracturing process, and treatment monitoring via microseismic.

Key topics include:

• Why Unconventional Gas Reservoirs Need to be Hydraulically Fractured
• The Importance of Complex Hydraulic Fracture Geometry
• The Hydraulic Fracturing Process described
• Fracturing Materials
• Hydraulic Fracturing Process
• What Can We Control During a Fracture Treatment?
• Why Cause and Effect with Respect to Production Are Not Always Obvious
