Shale Gas: A Review of the Economic, Environmental, and Social Sustainability-Cooper-2016-Energy
1 Introduction Recent estimates of large shale gas reserves across the globe 1 have raised expectations for cheap energy and improved security of supply, particularly as the consumption of natural gas is expected to triple by 2035. 2-4 It is estimated that shale gas could add 7299 trillion cubic feet (tcf) to global gas reserves; by comparison,

Hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” occurs after a well has been drilled, and the casing (steel pipe) is inserted into the well. The casing is punctured within the “target zones” that contain shale oil. The fracking fluid is inserted into the well, and flows through the holes into the target zones. Eventually, the target formation cannot

Shale Gas and Oil: Fundamentally Changing Global Energy Markets
The EIA assessment from 2013, covering 41 countries, estimates the technically recoverable resources of shale gas at 186,000 million tons of oil equivalent, about as much as global proved gas reserves. In this perspective, the authors projection appears as truly revolutionary -- a game changer for the gas and oil markets.
· With the exception of 237 billion barrels of oil in the Canadian oil sands, these reserves are entirely of conventional oil. BP also estimated globally proved reserves of natural gas at 6621 trillion cubic feet (TCF), equivalent to 63 years of production. These reserves are predominantly conventional gas.
