Shale Gas to the Rescue?

Compare this to the opportunity of the Bowland Shale. If, by 2020, the UK could exploit its reserves there at just one third the intensity of the exploitation of the Barnett and Marcellus Shales today, the outcome would be phenomenal.

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.

The Shale Revolution s Global Footprint

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).

And shale is not quite completely competent rock.

The first one was Barnett Shale in Texas and then the Marcellus up in the Northeast across New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Haynesville in Louisiana.

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.

We found out that we could go to the source rock, which were the carboniferous shales in the basins.

Oil shale reserves are expected to last for the next 30 years.

Without Nadeshiko, Iwabuchi won't end me anythng for my next tour.

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 .

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. 160

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.

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. Licensing and regulation of exploration and production are decided at the national level.

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

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

Many Parties provided information on alternative energy resources and mentioned that these include photovoltaic, solar thermal, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, oil shale, and biomass energy.

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.

Right?

In fact, estimates by the International Energy Agency suggest that the most significant recoverable reserves of shale gas are in the US and China, not Europe. Moreover, even these estimates are really not much more than educated guesses, because only in the US have shale formations been subject to intense exploration over a period of decades.

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 question today is whether a new upsurge of investment will come to our rescue. Optimists point to the shale energy revolution in the US.

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.

Estonia apos s energy balance and greenhouse gas emissions are dominated by oil shale, which accounts for about 95 per cent of electricity generation, one quarter of the heat requirements, three quarters of total energy related CO2 emissions, and two thirds of methane emissions.

Studies are under way to seek ways of improving the efficiency of oil shale electricity generation and less carbon intensive alternatives.

For example, CERES, a non profit organization, has combined Aqueduct s water stress maps with hydraulic fracturing data (from FracFocus.org) to find that nearly one half of shale oil and gas wells in the US are located in areas with high water stress. Early next year, Aqueduct will offer future projections of water stress based on the latest scientific analysis, including predicted effects of climate change.

You're climbing on little dimples and nubbins in the rock.

Iwabuchi!

Red Rock!

Moreover, an existing pipeline network implies that this conventional gas can be brought to Europe at a low marginal cost. From an economic (and environmental) standpoint, fracking is thus unlikely to bring large benefits for Europe shale gas might simply substitute for plentiful conventional gas.

With the advent of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, US oil production has risen by 30 , and gas production by 25 , in just five years. Shale gas contributed almost nothing to US natural gas supplies at the start of the century by last year, its share had soared to 34 , with the US Energy Information Administration predicting a further rise to one half by 2040.

As a result, Europeans, facing uncertain environmental consequences while receiving none of the revenues, tend to oppose fracking nearby. In the US, by contrast, local residents benefit handsomely from being able to sell their ownership rights to gas companies a strong counter balance to fears of environmental costs.

Last year, for the first time in 15 years, less than one half of the oil consumed in the US was imported. Annual growth in shale gas production has increased from 17 between 2000 and 2006 to 48 between 2006 and 2010.

Oh, he's the Rock the Rock of Gibraltar.

In comparison, shale gas in the US has created an estimated 600,000 jobs that are generating about 100 billion in added GDP and almost 20 billion in public revenue.
