Shale gas and shale oil are exactly the same as conventional gas and oil. Natural gas is composed mostly of methane, and less is required during the processing. Crude oil requires extensive refining before it is used. Note, that shale oil is not the same as “oil shale,” aka oilsands, which is mined in Canada.
