Can Shale Gas Go Global?
The Energy Collective has posted a free on-demand webinar about the potential for countries around the world to develop their natural gas production from shale formations and the implications that development could have for developers in the United States.
On its website, the Energy Collective says countries across the globe are now looking to the United States to see if they should develop their shale gas resources. Cheaper natural gas is shifting the geopolitical power balance between the EU and Russia. China’s shale reserves are supposedly larger than those in the US, with Argentina not far behind. Countries like Mexico, South Africa and Australia could also benefit. But will the myriad risks, from increased carbon emissions to water contamination and potential earthquakes, outweigh the benefits?
With the political, social and economic fallout still up in the air, The Energy Collective hosted a webcast focused on exploring what this means.
