Shell posted a video yesterday about the full life cycle of a tight or shale gas or oil well.

Shell walked us through planning and building a pad, exploring for oil and gas, developing a location and producing oil or gas.
You’ll see how the Company drills and fracks a tight oil or gas well, and what a producing pad typically looks like once drilling is complete.
Then at the end of its life Shell closes the well, and reclaims the location.
