This is THE BOOK that compiles the information of unconventional reservoir characterization including Tight Gas, Shale Gas, Tight Oil, Coal Bed Methane and Gas Hydrates. The best part I like about the book includes detail explanations of rock properties, fluid flow mechanisms, reservoir characteristics, and real data examples. I have recommended this to several of my students in Malaysia and abroad.
