Introduction Over the past few years, new technology has led us to the discovery and development of large supplies of natural gas within shale plays across the United States. A shale play is a defined geographic area containing an organic-rich fine-grained sedimentary rock. Shale gas in the United States is rapidly increasing as an available source of natural gas. The purpose of this report is to discuss estimated ultimate reserves of gas, oil, and NGL. Also, to discuss the drilling and development

Resulting of recent technological innovations improving the ability of extracting natural gas from shale and other rock formation. The popularity of hydraulic fracturing remains leading in the direction of new venture opportunities and increasing growth for the natural gas and oil production industry. With the development, comes risk and scrutiny. According to Robert W. Howarth and Anthony Ingraffea natural gas extracted from shale comes at too great a cost to the environment, and must be illegal

venous access and drug delivery in patients, with conditions such as cancer and systemic hypertension. However, these devices are prone to failure, most notably due to thrombus formation. The pathological development of a thrombus presents considerable health hazards as it is not haemostasis (normal thrombus formation). A pathological thrombus is created when there is an interruption to the blood coagulation system equilibrium. This can block the flow of blood which causes numerous amounts of severe
