"Madam President, compared to traditional gas sources, extraction from non-traditional sources today accounts for only around 5% of total gas production globally.
The non-traditional sources have a lower concentration of the raw material than the traditional deposits. In addition to coal methane or gas trapped in less permeable rocks or gas hydrates, the most promising source appears to be shale gas. The best experience with the extraction of this gas has been in North America, where extraction from non-traditional sources accounted for up to 42% of total production in 2007.
According to the estimate of the International Energy Agency, there may be up to 991 billion cubic metres of non-traditional gas reserves in Europe. They are probably located mainly in Poland, Germany, Hungary, Romania, Sweden and Great Britain. In 2007-2010, Poland issued almost 60 licences for shale gas prospecting and extraction. The holders of these licences include major global energy concerns.
It is therefore clear from what has been said that these new non-traditional gas sources are also becoming an interesting alternative for the exploitation of new horizontal extraction technologies."@en1
