Extensive reviews and cross-comparison studies are essential to analyze the emerging developments in a specific field of research. In the past decade, hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation from the shale reservoirs have been the most discussed and researched area around the globe. A dramatic development in shale formations became the game-changer, especially in the US. On the other hand, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are playing an important role in the rapid development in all the industries through automating most of the routine operations.
