The shale gas revolution, brought about through the combination of hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”), horizontal drilling technologies has slashed consumer prices for both gas and electric in this country, while reducing air emissions by incredible vol

It is well known that unconventional gas – shale gas, tight gas, and natural gas associated with shale oil production – has transformed natural gas supply across North America.  Currently, about 60 billion cubic feet of unconventional gas is produced d

Though gas production has stabled in recent years, during the boom period from 2007 to 2012 shale gas production in the US expanded at an astounding average growth rate of over 50% per year, and thereby increased nearly tenfold over this short time per

In order to encourage pilot projects for the exploration and exploitation of shale gas in Pakistan and to make such discoveries commercially viable, the following special incentives are recommended for pilot projects testing and production phases:
