Gaz naturel qui est difficile à extraire de la roche dans laquelle il est piégé, en raison de la faible perméabilité de celle-ci. 7, record 1, French, - gaz%20de%20r%C3%A9servoir%20%C3%A9tanche

[...] le gaz de réservoir étanche désigne une composante du gaz classique qui est produite à partir de réservoirs de faible perméabilité. Généralement, les réservoirs de gaz étanches n'ont pas de voies de cheminement naturelles suffisantes à travers le roc pour que le gaz naturel rejoigne le puits de forage; ils ont donc besoin d'une forme de stimulation artificielle pour créer ces voies de cheminement. 8, record 1, French, - gaz%20de%20r%C3%A9servoir%20%C3%A9tanche
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
[…] le gaz de schiste, le gaz de réservoir étanche et le pétrole de réservoir étanche font référence aux ressources non traditionnelles provenant de réservoirs à faible perméabilité qui sont exploitées en utilisant des puits horizontaux et la fracturation hydraulique en plusieurs étapes. 9, record 1, French, - gaz%20de%20r%C3%A9servoir%20%C3%A9tanche
