Florence Gény: Can Shale Gas be a Game-Changer for European Gas Markets?

The purpose of this analysis is to assess whether unconventional gas resources in Europe can be developed and produced in Europe on a scale that would affect future gas market fundamentals, as has been the case in North America, and what conditions would be required. The focus will be on shale gas. This topic is currently gaining a lot of attention within the industry. Research on European unconventional gas, albeit progressing, remains limited. In this context, the main contribution of this study will be to produce a new and concrete evaluation of shale gas potential in Europe, emphasising in particular investment and policy aspects, and place the conclusions within the bigger gas supply picture.
