    The document discusses unconventional hydrocarbons found in shale formations. Shale formations are fine-grained sedimentary rocks that can trap and store oil and natural gas in microscopic pores and fractures. While shale formations have traditionally been seen as impermeable rocks that do not produce oil and gas, advances in drilling and extraction techniques such as hydraulic fracturing now allow for economic production of hydrocarbons trapped in shales.
