Shale gas extraction
Podhorský, Jakub ; Brázdil, Marian (referee) ; Šnajdárek, Ladislav (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis on Shale gas extraction describes extraction and world shale gas resources. At the beginning it provides introduction to the terms of geology and overview of historical evolution of extraction and crucial technologies that are currently used in extraction. Shale gas exploration and extraction development is briefly mentioned. Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing is then further described and also summary of the equipment is provided. Potential environmental risks associated with extraction or hydraulic fracturing itself are described. Subsequently world shale gas resources and potential extraction places are described. World technically recoverable resources are estimated at 7245 Tcf. Shale gas commercial production is currently underway in the United States, Canada and China.
Shale gas exploitation - benefit for mankind or impending ecological disastr?
Kutnarová, Karolína ; Opluštil, Stanislav (advisor) ; Vlček, Josef (referee)
Based on available published and internet sources, this Bachelor thesis aims to provide a general overview of the shale gas, its reserves and their geographic distribution and methods of shale gas exploitation including existing experience. These data will serve for assessment of the shale gas from the viewpoint of its energetic potential for the human needs and in context of potential ecological risk related to exploitation of this fossil fuel.
