International Developments in the Field of Unconventional Gas and Oil Extraction
The last few years have witnessed a wealth of studies, reports and assessments being published in many EU member states, by national and international organisations and in the research community on economic, environmental and human health related aspects of unconventional oil and gas exploration and production. Many R&D initiatives are also under way.
This report attempts to provide a survey of several of such studies and initiatives, with a focus on the years 2014, 2015 and early 2016. Principally, reports and studies from public bodies and scientific institutes were covered. Additionally, relevant papers published in peer-reviewed journals were included.
A review of the quality of the studies covered, the accuracy of their claims and their possible limitations was not carried out. This report is therefore only meant to provide a compilation of their summaries, without any endorsement of the findings reported in any of the studies and assessments covered in the report.
