TY - JOUR A1 - Gu, Bingyi A1 - Nazmyi, Hisham T1 - Britain’s Shale Gas Zeal and Riches JF - Journal of European Management & Public Affairs Studies N2 - The United Kingdom is considered to be shale gas rich with substantial volumes distributed both onshore and offshore. Recent technological development has made shale gas exploration commercially viable. The UK’s shale gas industry is at an early stage, with a few companies actively operating in this area and merely a few specific regulations exist for it. Many questions are waiting to be answered, many barriers must be overcome. This article analyses the UK’s current state of play for shale gas. First, background information and a brief description of shale gas hydraulic fracturing is given. Government and business points of view will be illustrated and analysed before offering an outlook.
