Thermogenic gas
Carbon and Hydrogen Isotope Ratios in CH4 are Effective Tools for Identifying the Specific Origin of Methane ( Microbial vs. Thermogenic)
Shale Gas
India is the only country apart from USA and Canada to have discovered shale gas. Shale rocks have low permeability.
Shale gas production involves horizontal drilling and hydro fracturing. 3/25/2012 Technical Services 16
