The propagation of hydraulic fracture in a shale gas rock is of utmost importance for the petroleum industry to stimulate reservoirs and the recovery of gas. This paper gives an insight into the comparison of diff erent geo-mechanical parameters of shale plays in U.S. and Poland. Rheological properties coupled with the geo mechanical properties of the rock are very important parameters in estimating a reservoir characteristic for hydraulic fracturing. The successful recovery of shale gas from the U.S. basins has been due to experiment on the various basins across U.S. and fi nally they have achieved the horizontal hydraulic stimulation of reservoirs. This cache of success has been an intriguing factor for other countries like Poland to explore its own natural gas in the inferred shale gas basin across Poland. This country has three major basins like Baltic in the north, Lublin and Podlasie in the east. Across these basins there has been a good indication for shale gas exploration but the geological settings across these basins seems to pose a greater challenge for engineers and geo-physicist to design and recover the shale gas with greater economic viability.
