UK shale gas survey confirms huge reserves
2013-06-27 16:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: The UK's fledgling shale gas industry received a major boost today as new research suggested the country has significantly higher reserves than had been first thought and the government underlined its commitment to developing the sector. But campaigners again warned that accessible reserves would prove significantly lower than theoretical reserves and argued that an overreliance on shale gas development would lock the UK into high-carbon infrastructure that would make it impossible to comply with...

'Far more' UK shale gas resources
2013-06-27 09:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: UK shale gas resources may be far greater than previously thought, a report for the government says. The British Geological Survey was asked to estimate how much gas is trapped in rocks beneath Lancashire and Yorkshire. It said there could be 1,300 trillion cubic feet at one site alone, but it is unclear how much could be extracted. Ministers are set to announce financial benefits for communities where fracking - the controversial extraction technique - takes place. BBC industry correspondent...
UK shale gas survey likely to reveal reserves higher than expected
2013-06-27 07:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: New estimates of the UK's reserves of shale gas will be published on Thursday, and are expected to be much larger than originally thought potentially supplying the UK with decades' worth of natural gas, if a high proportion of the gas in the rocks can be extracted at a low cost. However that key question that cannot yet be answered due to the lack of experimental wells drilled so far and the challenges posed by the UK's high density of population. The survey of shale reserves, carried out by...

Report to find UK shale resources bigger than thought: source
2013-06-27 04:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Shale resources in the north of England could be much larger than previously thought, raising the prospect of new domestic gas supplies to replace dwindling North Sea reserves, a government source said on Thursday. A report by the British Geological Survey (BGS) due to be published later on Thursday will estimate there is 1,300 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas in rocks in the so-called Bowland shale area, which could transform the country's energy market. Previous estimates have suggested a...
