Shale and tight resources are hydrocarbons (crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids) found in mountainslakes and streamstight reservoirsopen pits . These are rocks with small pores or that are poorly connected so the oil and natural gas sink further downcannot easily flow through themflow easily through themrise to the surface .
