Natural gas is considered the dominant worldwide bridge between fossil fuels of today and future resources of tomorrow. Thanks to the recent shale boom in North America, natural gas is in a surplus and quickly becoming a major international commodity. Stay current with conventional and now unconventional gas standards and procedures with Natural Gas Processing: Technology and Engineering Design. Covering the entire natural gas process, Bahadori's must-have handbook provides everything you need to know about natural gas, including:
- Fundamental background on natural gas properties and single/multiphase flow factors
- How to pinpoint equipment selection criteria, such as US and international standards, codes, and critical design considerations
- A step-by-step simplification of the major gas processing procedures, like sweetening, dehydration, and sulfur recovery
- Detailed explanation on plant engineering and design steps for natural gas projects, helping managers and contractors understand how to schedule, plan, and manage a safe and efficient processing plant
- Covers both conventional and unconventional gas resources such as coal bed methane and shale gas
- Bridges natural gas processing with basic and advanced engineering design of natural gas projects including real world case studies
- Digs deeper with practical equipment sizing calculations for flare systems, safety relief valves, and control valves
Alireza Bahadori, Ph.D., is a research staff member in the School of Environment, Science and Engineering at Southern Cross University, Lismore, NSW, Australia. He received his Ph.D. from Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia.During the past twenty years, Dr. Bahadori has held various process and petroleum engineering positions and was involved in many large-scale projects at National Iranian Oil Co. (NIOC), Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), and Clough AMEC PTY LTD. He is the author of 250 articles and 12 books. His books have been published by multiple major publishers, including Elsevier.
Dr. Bahadori is the recipient of the highly competitive and prestigious Australian Government's Endeavor International Postgraduate Research Award as part of his research in oil and gas area. He also received a Top-Up Award from the State Government of Western Australia through Western Australia Energy Research Alliance (WA:ERA) in 2009. Dr. Bahadori serves as a member of the editorial board and reviewer for a large number of journals. He was honored by Elsevier to be an outstanding author of the Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering in 2009.

Overview of Natural Gas Resources
Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of both conventional and unconventional natural gas resources. Unconventional gas resources, including tight gas, coal bed methane (coal seam gas), gas hydrates, and shale gas, are discussed. Hydraulic fracturing (HF), a process undertaken on a well after it has been drilled to depth, is presented. Hydraulic fracturing involves pumping fluids (mostly water) under controlled pressure into the well bore to fracture the rock formations that hold gas accumulation, thereby allowing the gas to migrate out of the rock and be extracted through the well.
