Hydraulic Fracturing in Unconventional Reservoirs: Theories, Operations, and Economic Analysis

I particularly liked this book as a reference source and "go to" book for domain knowledge in this field. Including Reservoir Characterization with subtopics including rock mechanical properties and stresses, shale porosity, density of adsorbed gas and gas in place calculation, interfacial tension, wettability, and capillary pressure calculations prove valuable. Great discussion on fluid systems, proppant, and completion techniques followed by simulation and optimization using "big data analysis".
