On March 18th 2018, Texas A&M at Qatar hosted shale gas experts from Qatar, Europe, the United States and Australia for a daylong symposium to present results of ShaleXenvironmenT project. About 80 people from Qatar’s local industry and academic institutions, as well as SXT representatives attended the symposium. A press release was published on Texas A&M at Qatar and Qatar Foundation websites.
