Shale gas and fracking: examining the evidence
The fact that the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that natural gas power technology is a ‘bridge technology’ does not necessarily imply that shale gas will play any significant role in curbing GHG emissions. Indeed, we note that the median scenarios presented in AR5 for stabilising atmospheric concentrations between 430ppm and 530ppm ...
متن کاملIntelligent fracture creation for shale gas development
Shale gas represents a major fraction of the proven reserves of natural gas in the United States and a collection of other countries. Higher gas prices and the need for cleaner fuels provides motivation for commercializing shale gas deposits even though the cost is substantially higher than traditional gas deposits. Recent advances in horizontal drilling and multistage hydraulic fracturing, whi...
متن کاملThe Economics of Shale Gas Development
In the past decade, innovations in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling have fueled a boom in the production of natural gas (as well as oil) from geological formations—primarily deep shales—in which hydrocarbon production was previously unprofitable. Impacts on US fossil fuel production and the US economy more broadly have been transformative, even in the first decade. The boom has been...
متن کاملShale gas development: a smart regulation framework.
Advances in directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing have sparked a natural gas boom from shale formations in the United States. Regulators face a rapidly changing industry comprised of hundreds of players, operating tens of thousands of wells across 30 states. They are often challenged to respond by budget cuts, a brain drain to industry, regulations designed for conventional gas developm...
متن کاملInvestigating links between shale gas development and health impacts through a community survey project in Pennsylvania.
Across the United States, the race for new energy sources is picking up speed and reaching more places, with natural gas in the lead. While the toxic and polluting qualities of substances used and produced in shale gas development and the general health effects of exposure are well established, scientific evidence of causal links has been limited, creating an urgent need to understand health im...
