This paper examines the use of shale gas, and aims to assess to role it can play in the global energy market. The position of shale gas as an unconventional gas is discussed, and the paper provides a definition of the gas. This is followed by a discussion regarding extraction, new techniques, hydraulic fractioning, horizontal drilling, groundwater contamination, the environmental effects, and global gas prices. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) flows are examined, and the way the use of shale gas may affect it is assessed, and the paper concludes by summarizing the potential of shale gas.
