Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is an inductive method of performing a system reliability or safety analysis from a low to a high level. It is a Bottom Up approach in which the analyst looks in turn at each system component, assesses the effects of its failure on system behaviour.

The basic FMEA technique is to:

i. Examine each component in turn

ii. Identify ways in which it can fail (Failure Modes)

iii. Identify the consequence of these failures (failure Effects)

explosions to shatter and crack hard shale rocks to release the gas inside.
Enough water, sand and chemicals are used in the production of shale gas. [1]
