Shale Gas to the Rescue?

The Shale Revolution s Global Footprint

It is understood that Chongqing currently owns 18 shale gas exploration rights established by Ministry of Land and Resources as the first domestic shale gas mining rights the Sinopec Fuling shale gas field.

PRAGUE In late June, the British Geological Survey announced the world s largest shale gas field. The Bowland Shale, which lies beneath Lancashire and Yorkshire, contains 50 more gas than the combined reserves of two of the largest fields in the United States, the Barnett Shale and the Marcellus Shale.

And shale is not quite completely competent rock.

The US has the largest recoverable shale gas reserves and the second largest recoverable shale oil reserves in the world. It also enjoys a technological lead in shale energy technologies, and it already has a vast network of pipelines, refineries, and ports in the energy sector that can be repurposed for shale gas and oil (though much more investment will be needed).

Shale gas is a clean energy resource. It is understood that the completion of the 10 billion cubic meter shale gas field will help cut 12 million tonnes of CO2 emission annually.

Even the much heralded shale gas revolution is a lot of hype similar to the gold rushes and stock bubbles of the past. Shale gas wells deplete far more rapidly than conventional fields do.

Ready? Black.

So, my story today about black holes is about one particular black hole.

The technology of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, by which shale and other tight rock formations at great depths are bombarded with water and chemicals, has released major new supplies of both natural gas and oil. America s shale gas industry grew by 45 annually from 2005 to 2010, and the share of shale gas in America s overall gas production grew from 4 to 24 .

IHS estimates that in 2012, developments in the shale energy industry increased households real disposable income by more than 1,200. Thus the shale revolution represents a huge stimulus for America, in terms of investment, exports, and a reduction in energy costs.

The shale would like some shoring, and so parts of it are caved in in there.

Isn't it black?

Because there's actually more genetic difference between a black Kenyan and a black Ugandan than there is between a black Kenyan and, say, a white Norwegian.

First, fracking s opponents worry that shale gas will displace renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. But the fact is that CO2 emissions cannot be reduced without cutting coal use, and shale gas is already displacing coal in the US.
