Shale gas is an unconventional natural gas produced from shale, a type of sedimentary rock.Shale gas has become an increasingly important source of natural gas in the United States over the past decade, and interest has spread to potential gas shales in Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Shale gas is one of a number of unconventional sources of natural gas; others include coalbed methane, tight sandstones, and methane hydrates. Shale gas areas are often known as resource plays [27] (as opposed to exploration plays). The geological risk of not finding gas is low in resource plays, but the potential profits per successful well ...

Royal Dutch Shell , along with its partner Gazprom Neft, recently began a pilot well project to explore the potential of the Bazhenov formation, which could be the world's largest deposit of shale ...
Countries where natural gas fields are located. This list of natural gas fields includes major fields of the past and present. N.B. Some of the items listed are basins or projects that comprise many fields (e.g. Sakhalin has three fields: Chayvo, Odoptu, and Arkutun-Dagi).
LONDON (Reuters) -Britain on Thursday formally lifted a moratorium on fracking for shale gas that has been in place since 2019, saying strengthening the country's energy supply was an "absolute ...

Ukraine signed a 50-year production sharing agreement with Royal Dutch Shell on 25 January 2013 involving the Yuzivska shale gas field. [9] [31] The $10 billion deal was the largest foreign direct investment ever for Ukraine. [31] Full shale gas production was expected to depend on successful results from 15 test wells. [31]
