The correct option is D (d) 1, 2, 3, 4
Shale gas refers to natural gas, especially methane that is trapped within shale formations. Shales are fine-grained sedimentary rocks that can be rich sources of petroleum and natural gas.
Horizontal Drilling and Hydraulic Fracturing
Over the past decade, the combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has allowed access to large volumes of shale gas that were previously uneconomical to produce. The production of natural gas from shale formations has rejuvenated the natural gas industry in the United States.
