Unconventional Energy – How it “Changes the Game”

Abstract:

“Unconventional” oil and gas technologies are complex, and so are the associated economic, societal, and environmental issues. We must address these using expert knowledge, reasonable assumptions, and appropriate risk analysis.
Well-informed people in a modern society need to seek out expert knowledge, ask questions, think critically, and apply common sense in understanding complex issues. CSUR goal is to provide accurate scientific information around unconventional oil and gas development, so that everyone can reach reasonable, informed, and balanced opinions.

All attendees are requested to RSVP:
