HOUSTON, May 9, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On the verge of its DUG Australia conference in Brisbane, QLD, Australia, Hart Energy announced today its latest industry report, The North American Shale Revolution: Analogues For Australian Success. This special, 68-page complimentary report, prompted by Australia's burgeoning unconventional gas market, transfers specialized knowledge from North American shale plays.
"Australia is already an unconventional resource powerhouse as a producer of coal-seam gas (CSG), and its potential for shale gas and tight sands is critical to Asia-Pacific economic growth," said Peggy Williams, editorial director of Hart Energy. "The Analogues report was created to help Australia benefit from the experiences of North American unconventional resource pioneers."
The supplement offers analogues of dry gas shale plays, liquids-rich shale plays, and hybrid shale plays. Geologic characteristics, well construction techniques, completion strategies, production rates, and type curves are reviewed. Successful strategies to handle surface concerns such as logistics, water issues, and community relations are also covered. Hart Energy, the industry leader in unconventional resources information, is proud to partner with the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association (APPEA) in distributing these "lessons learned" at the Hart Energy Booth — #362 — during the 2013 APPEA Conference & Exhibition, held May 26-29 in Brisbane.
