SII3024 UNCONVENTIONAL OIL AND GAS RESOURCES
Unconventional resources reside in tight formations and are
of lower reservoir quality and more difficult from which to
extract hydrocarbons. Unconventional resources represent a
variety of geological formations, including tight gas sands, gas
shales, heavy oil sands, coalbed methane, oil shales, and gas
hydrates.
