Unconventional Gas & Oil

Reducing the Risk, Production Costs, and Environmental Footprint of Unconventional Gas

Energy resources to produce clean fuels are available in plentiful supply, and technology is key in unlocking unconventional gas resource potential in an environmentally and economically sustainable way. As development occurs throughout the world, it opens up tremendous opportunities for energy security and reduced climate change risk.

GTI is providing new tools, data, practices, and thought leadership to ensure the safe, economical, and responsible development of global shale gas.
