Ongoing R&D for Shale Mining Byproducts May Open New Opportunities for Midstream Businesses The School of Mines and Technology was granted $464,000 to learn more about how Pierre Shale responds under different circumstances and how it changes over time. The end goal is to better understand how shale behaves to perfect mining practices, primarily in the in the upstream and midstream sectors. Ongoing research and development is intended to help pinpoint how useful byproducts can be captured, stored, and shipped. Potential Areas of Interest in the Future of Shale Mining A few specific areas of interest include hydraulic fracturing, fuel and waste disposal methods, carbon dioxide sequestration, and underground storage of hydrocarbons in existing shale caverns. Shale is currently one of the choice materials used to store products because it does not allow products to easily escape. Could Gas From North Dakota Flaring Off Eventually Be Shipped? There are many questions that will not be answ
