Abstract

The relatively mature state of global hydrocarbon exploration combined with increasing global energy<br>demand and challenged accessibility to areas of significant conventional potential has caused industry to focus<br>in additional resource arenas such as unconventional gas. While the recent flurry of announcements in North<br>America unconventional plays involving tight gas, shale gas and coal bed methane may seem monumental to<br>some, it is really only a reflection of the continuing evolution of the hydrocarbon extraction industry.<br>Emerging information from many of these plays appears to challenge some established industry paradigms.<br>Modifications to the technical approach used to identify, characterize and successfully manage some of these<br>resource types may need to be considered.
