''Confidence is mounting daily in the UK Shale market – but understanding the geoscience behind the resources is key business decision making''
Daniel Byles MP stated in an interview earlier this year that the UK could be one of the most Shale rich countries on the planet, and has the potential to create 30,000 jobs and secure UK energy.
France’s GDF Suez announced last week the signing of a $39m (£24m) deal to explore a 530 square mile area of northern England and Wales. The French, part-government owned firm declared it was "very confident about the potential of shale gas in the UK, and its anticipated contributions to UK energy security".
With this latest development and interest from the public, industry and government in UK shale mounting daily, the confidence in the commercial potential of shale gas in the UK is clear.
However, before firms commit to investing, shale gas stakeholders now have the opportunity to hear from the experts, understand the geoscience behind the potential resources and understand more about this nascent industry at the forthcoming Shale UK 2014 Summit.
Shale UK 2014 is a two-day conference, running from 4-5 March 2014 in London and will present an authoritative state-of-the-art view of the geoscience relevant to shale gas exploration, production and environmental management in the UK, giving firms the information they need on which to base important business decisions.
Shale UK 2014 is the only shale gas event to be held in conjunction with the Geological Society - the oldest geological society in the world - and will give participants eye-opening access to domains of knowledge and experience to aid stakeholders with their decision-making.
