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.

Despite the hype about the shale gas revolution, the extraction cost of (onshore) conventional gas remains below that of shale gas.

And shale is not quite completely competent rock.

To my right is sheer shale. It's coming off.

You hit rock and then those layers of shale.

Two thirds of the world's shale is in the US.

Shale gas wells deplete far more rapidly than conventional fields do.

In Europe, shale energy resources have largely remained in the ground.

longwall mining, fracking, tar sands, tar shale, deep ocean Arctic drilling.

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 .

But pro fracking critics of the European Union miss a second point the EU has no authority over the development of shale gas in Europe.

But pro fracking critics of the European Union miss a second point the EU has no authority over the development of shale gas in Europe.

A seldom mentioned reason is that shale gas development in the US has benefited from important tax incentives a model that Europe has no reason to emulate.

In 2013, it was announced that Japan would be importing shale natural gas.

That's really my job at Pennsylvania Shale, you know, to put out fires.

Even so, the shale revolution across the Atlantic has been felt in diverse ways.

Even the much heralded shale gas revolution is a lot of hype 160 similar to the gold rushes and stock bubbles of the past. Shale gas wells deplete far more rapidly than conventional fields do.

The shale energy revolution that started in the US is thus causing sweeping changes worldwide.

PRAGUE In late June, the British Geological Survey announced the world s largest shale gas field.

Shale gas could thus reduce dependency on OPEC oil and gas while reducing carbon emission.

Shale gas is abundant in Europe and North America, in contrast to oil and gas.

and We made its topmost part its nethermost , and rained on them stones of shale .

With respect to climate change, however, the effects of greater reliance on shale gas are mixed.

It s as if we reacted to Fukushima by better handling gas emissions in oil shale projects.

The big news in energy these days is the revolution in technology for tapping shale gas.

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

However, the rise of fracking should be viewed with caution Poorly managed fracking facilities can leak methane, a potent greenhouse gas and shale oil, to which many frackers are turning, is much more emissions intensive than shale gas.

By 2035, shale gas is projected to account for roughly one half of total US energy production.

Jorma Ollila, Chairman of Royal Dutch Shell, described the global map of major shale oil and gas deposits.

Shale gas could cut the cost of reducing CO2 seven times more while actually helping Europe s ailing economy.

The country has large oil shale and limestone deposits, along with forests that cover 48 of the land.

America s rapid switch to natural gas is the result of three decades of technological innovation, particularly the development of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which has opened up large new resources of previously inaccessible shale gas.

The most promising breakthrough may well be the discovery of huge reserves of shale gas all over the planet.

The plan highlights the need to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by shale gas and newly discovered oil reserves.

Annual growth in shale gas production has increased from 17 between 2000 and 2006 to 48 between 2006 and 2010.

Of course, technological advances, like hydraulic fracturing ( fracking ) in the shale gas industry, could increase supply and therefore lower prices.

Maybe Europe will become a leader in advanced fracking when the shale gas deposits in the US have already been exhausted.

It would enhance US economic competitiveness, especially relative to Europe, given the lower costs involved in the extraction of shale gas.
