Geology of Bekenu Area with the Emphasis of Black Shale Properties

The study concerns on the potential of Setap Shale as shale gas potential. The main objective of this study is to identify the geological and geochemistry aspect of the Setap Shale rock present in the Sarawak basin on its potential as shale gas producer. A total of six core samples had been colle...
