Unconventional shale oil and shale gas plays have gained more attention since they are the sole cause of improvements in making the oil and gas business in US and some other companies getting closer to become independent. There is not one comprehensive book with a set of examples and projects that show the step by step approach of calculating the resource volume and optimizing the hydraulic fracturing of unconventional resources. Thus, the primary author has just developed a course in the area of Unconventional Resources from scratch using a unique content that comes from his 10-years of experience in this area. Primary author, Reza and three of his graduate students, developed a unique set of examples, homework assignments, and projects for this course using valuable datasets from the Bakken, Woodford, Mississippian play, and Eagle Ford. He realized that this discipline suffers from a lack of a comprehensive textbook in this area that contains relevant examples, assignments, and projects for students to work on. Thus, as discussed above, unconventional resources have become a game changer in oil and gas industry since early 2000s. Engineering of Shale Resources will be a valuable resource to students, both graduate and undergraduate, and instructors as well as junior staff of oil and gas operators and service companies both nationally and internationally.
