Ukraine has a long history of hydraulic fracturing, since it has been used there since the 1950s. [88] There has also been a strong recent interest of the hydraulic fracturing industry in Ukraine. [89] According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Ukraine has third-largest shale gas reserves in Europe at 128 trillion cubic feet. [90]
At least two companies have backed out of a deal to extract shale gas in Eastern Ukraine due to the threat of military action in that area. [5] There are also other challenges to hydraulic fracturing in Ukraine, such as a lack of a proper regulatory framework for its development, opposition of major EU partners to hydraulic fracturing which may seek to influence Ukraine (France, for example ...
The 2012–2014 Romanian protests against shale gas were a series of protests in major Romanian cities against exploitation of shale gas through controversial method of hydraulic fracturing. The main causes of these protests were the pollution of groundwater and environment, but also the threat of generating earthquakes .
Donald Trump's energy agenda targets fracking expansion, faster permits and US dominance, sparking debate over economic gains and environmental risks.
MOSCOW/KYIV (Reuters) -Russian gas exports via Soviet-era pipelines running through Ukraine came to a halt on New Year's Day, marking the end of decades of Moscow's dominance over Europe's energy ...
The main tool used by this approach is risk assessment. A risk assessment method, based on experimenting and assessing risk ex-post, once the technology is in place. In the context of hydraulic fracturing, it means that drilling permits are issued and exploitation conducted before the potential risks on the environment and human health are known.
The European Union is facing a crisis: how to replace the 40% of its natural gas that it sources from Russia. Reversing course is no easy matter, given that the 27-country EU spends roughly $300 ...
Hydraulic fracturing [a] is a well stimulation technique involving the fracturing of formations in bedrock by a pressurized liquid. The process involves the high-pressure injection of "fracking fluid" (primarily water, containing sand or other proppants suspended with the aid of thickening agents) into a wellbore to create cracks in the deep rock formations through which natural gas, petroleum ...
