"The discovery of such vast resources--200 trillion cubic feet would be
enough to meet USK gas demand for 64 years--comes at a time when the UK 's
conventional gas fields are in steep decline
"The exploration of shale gas has revolutionalized American energy markets,
helping the US in 2009 to overtake Russia as the world's largest gas
producer. Shale gas now accounts for about 20% of US gas production, but
total output is expected to quadruple in coming years. The boom has touched
off a scramble for access to acreage in the Barnett, Marcellus and
Haynesville shales in the US, where much of the mew resource is oncentrated.
