Unconventional Gases Between the Environmental and Energy Crises

Abstract

The sudden advancement in the technology of unconventional gas production, especially in the United States, has aroused the interest of those interested in energy affairs, as this technical progress allowed greater economic contact with the supply of conventional natural gas, especially with the achievement of large-scale production of unconventional gas pools. In spite of what the technological developments of that industry promise to advance its place in unconventional gas, and the economic effects that it can have, especially with the development of discoveries of its resources over time, on both energy producers and importers. However, opinions were divided between opponents and supporters of its exploitation, whether due to its economic effects. Especially since its exploitation will give many countries the opportunity to give up or reduce dependence on natural gas, especially the United States of America, China and the countries of the European Union; The matter will also negatively affect the countries producing natural gas due to the economic impacts resulting from the expansion of production of that alternative. Or because of its environmental impacts resulting from its use as a fossil fuel, or the technology used in its extraction and production and its harmful effects on water resources and land. This issue will be addressed by seeking to determine the effects resulting from the expansion of unconventional gas production, and whether the exploitation of unconventional gas gives satisfactory economic results that justify the cost that will be borne by society, and the question and what effects this type of energy can have. Through a research plan consisting of an introductory topic entitled What are non-conventional gases, the first topic titled Motives for Expansion in the Production of Non-Conventional Gases, the Second Study entitled the Importance of Non-Conventional Gases and the Controversy Around them, the Third Study entitled “Non-conventional Gas Production and the Strategy of Advanced Countries for Energy Security, Conclusion, Conclusions and recommendations.
