Altamimi Y1 - 2017-08-02 PY - 2017 T1 - Improvement of Hydraulic Fracture Conductivity Using Nanoparticles N2 - Natural gas has become the world's primary supply of energy in the last decades. It is naturally occurring from the decomposition of organic materials, over the past 150 million years ago, into hydrocarbons. It is considered one of the most useful energy sources and the fastest growing energy source in the world. This book presents state-of-the-art advances in natural gas emerging technologies. It contains ten chapters divided into three sections that cover natural gas technology, utilization, and alternative.
