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.

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.

UNCITRAL expanded programme of work

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.

They have expanded overseas through acquisitions.

But the most crucial and almost always overlooked point about fracking is that shale gas, like all hydrocarbons, can be used only once. The real issue is thus not whether shale gas should be developed in Europe, but when it should be used today or tomorrow.

It is understood that a 10 billion cubic meter shale gas field is equivalent to a 10 million tonne oil field.

BRUSSELS The global energy community is abuzz with excitement about hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a newish technology that has opened formerly inaccessible reserves of gas trapped in underground shale formations. The boom in this so called shale gas production has allowed the United States to become almost self sufficient in natural gas.

But extracting shale energy involves environmental risks and uncertainties, among them groundwater contamination, higher methane emissions, and potential seismic effects. And shale gas emits CO2 when burned, even though it has half the carbon content of coal and has played a significant role in cutting US carbon emissions to mid 1990 s levels.
