Shale and low-permeability (“unconventional”) reservoirs that host oil and gas (with significant associated hydrocarbon liquids) are amongst the hottest exploration and development targets in North America. Low gas prices have provided oil and gas producers with the motivation to selectively pursue unconventional reservoirs with significant liquid hydrocarbon production (“liquid-rich” shale plays), while multi-fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs)* have provided the technology to produce hydrocarbons from ultra-low permeability (nanodarcy) rock. In Western Canada, there are multiple liquid-rich shale reservoirs which are at early stages of development.

页岩和低渗透性（“非常规”）储层（含有大量伴生烃液体）是北美最热门的勘探和开发目标之一。低天然气价格为石油和天然气生产商提供了选择性地开发具有大量液态烃生产的非常规储层（“富液”页岩区带）的动力，而多裂缝水平威尔斯井（MFHW）* 提供了从超低渗透（纳米级）岩石中生产碳氢化合物的技术。在加拿大西部，有多个富液页岩储层处于开发的早期阶段。
