Everyone knew it was crazy to try to extract oil and natural gas buried in shale rock deep below the ground. Everyone, that is, except a few reckless wildcatters - who risked their careers to prove the world wrong.

Things looked grim for American energy in 2006. Oil production was in steep decline and natural gas was hard to find. The Iraq War threatened the nation’s already tenuous relations with the Middle East. China was rapidly industrializing and competing for resources. Major oil companies had just about given up on new discoveries on U.S. soil, and a new energy crisis seemed likely.

But a handful of men believed everything was about to change.

Far from the limelight, Aubrey McClendon, Harold Hamm, Mark Papa, and other wildcatters were determined to tap massive deposits of oil and gas that Exxon, Chevron, and other giants had dismissed as a waste of time. By experimenting with hydraulic fracturing through extremely dense shale—a process now known as fracking—the wildcatters started a revolution. In just a few years, they solved America’s dependence on imported energy, triggered a global environmental controversy—and made and lost astonishing fortunes.

No one understands these men—their ambitions, personalities, methods, and foibles—better than the award-winning Wall Street Journal reporter Gregory Zuckerman. His exclusive access enabled him to get close to the frackers and chronicle the untold story of how they transformed the nation and the world. The result is a dramatic narrative tracking a brutal competition among headstrong drillers. It stretches from the barren fields of North Dakota and the rolling hills of northeastern Pennsylvania to cluttered pickup trucks in Texas and tense Wall Street boardrooms.

Activists argue that the same methods that are creating so much new energy are also harming our water supply and threatening environmental chaos. The Frackers tells the story of the angry opposition unleashed by this revolution and explores just how dangerous fracking really is.

The frackers have already transformed the economic, environmental, and geopolitical course of history. Now, like the Rockefellers and the Gettys before them, they’re using their wealth and power to influence politics, education, entertainment, sports, and many other fields. Their story is one of the most important of our time.

读后感

话说咱们民间有句俗语，“老虎不发威，以为是只病猫”。这话搁在《页岩革命》这本书头上，恰如一顶量身定做的帽子，正合尺寸。 从格雷戈里.祖克曼书中可知，美国人给搞石油的个体户起了个绰号“野猫”，大意是，净干些不靠谱的事。 读后掩卷回味，且不说书中这些野猫失意时...  

本书是非虚构类、纪实写作，类似中国的报告文学。讲了有关页岩气（油）在美国开采的经历，以各种人物进行贯穿。如果您从事石油相关工作，那么好的这是一本讲述石油新纪元的书，如果您只是普通读者，那么好的本书可以当小说读——讲了美国梦实现的故事。估计没机会做石油开采相...  

最早听到页岩二字，还是自己在读官仙的时候。官仙里面的北崇区，就蕴含有大量的页岩。当然，那本书里说的是油页岩。我在百度上查过，油页岩又叫油母页岩，是页岩的一种。对于地质学的这些东西，我是外行，一点儿也不懂，不过照我估计，本书里所提到的那些能够产生石油和天然气...

看惯了股市、投资类的书，我们期待着流动着新鲜血液的书。《页岩革命》所涉及的内容是前沿的、亟待开发的页岩气，我们对未知的东西抱有期待和幻想，在此之前，我们先来看看美国的页岩革命是如何进行的吧。 一场惊天动地的能源巨变，其本身的轰炸性就足以震惊，谁又能想到作者还...

作者很业余 , Initial Production 都不标明一下是IP24, IP30,还是IP90. 但比读行研报告有趣很多，事在人为，公司实在不是data machine, assign a management premium/discount,太应该不过。

非常好看的关于能源的一本书，但说融资10亿很容易真的大丈夫？

1）自由市场经济决定了适宜的激励制度；2）发达资本市场提供了充沛的资金来源；3）法律制度保障了私有化的开采权；4）地理数据公开，基础设施完善；5）地广人稀，自然资源丰厚；6）美国特色不惧失败的创业精神 => 一场改变美国，影响世界的页岩能源革命由此到来。向无畏坚持的Wildcatters致敬！
