2015-01-06Slate - a source of unconventional gas

Shale gas - this term is becoming increasingly popular in the media. Unfortunately, its increasing popularity develops numerous misunderstandings, simplifications or falsifying basic terms. The media use the term "shale gas" disregarding the fact that it is only an element of a more complex assembly - unconventional gas reserves. It is worthwhile organizing that which the media write about on the first pages of the newspapers, often very vaguely.

2015-01-06Natural gas and oil taxes around the world - outline

Natural resources are spread all around the world in different amounts; the rights of their ownership belong to numerous countries. Each of these countries, making the resources available for the interested parties, decides on taxing this kind of activity. Creating a tax system is essential due to financial needs on the one hand (and the notion that since the resource is depleting, the owner should be appropriately rewarded) and on the other hand - with maintaining a balance between gaining financial profits by the owner/country and the possibility to discourage actual or potential investors by heavy burdens. Such systems are built using different and unlikely concepts and motives in different countries.

Shale gas extraction technology

2015-01-07

The term "shale gas" means natural gas located in rocks (slates) which is "trapped" in them, which prevents its extraction using typical methods for a normally spread resource of this type around the world (which have been widely exploited for many decades) Reaching shale gas and its extraction was made possible by using and developing well-known technologies of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.
