αφοπλιστική ειλικρίνεια το αμερικανικό ειδησεογραφικό πρακτορείο
Bloomberg σε πρόσφατο άρθρο του παραδέχεται πως η πολυδιαφημισμένη – από
Ε.Ε. και ΗΠΑ - προσπάθεια να αναδειχθούν τα αποθέματα αερίου σχιστών
(shale gas) της Γηραιάς Ηπείρου σε εναλλακτική πηγή ενέργειας σε σχέση
με τις εισαγωγές αερίου από τη Ρωσία ήταν ανεπιτυχής.

Environmental Watchdog Finds Oil, Gas Companies Using Cancer-Causing Chemicals
WASHINGTON, October 23 - Oil and gas companies are exploiting federal loopholes to frack with cancer-causing petroleum-based products, a report by the Environmental Integrity Project (EIP) said.
"Despite a federal ban on the use of diesel fuel in hydraulic fracturing without a permit, several oil and gas companies are exploiting a Safe Drinking Water Act loophole, pushed through by Halliburton to frack with petroleum-based products, containing even more dangerous toxic chemicals than diesel," a statement published on the watchdog's website Wednesday said.

Fracking: China's 2015 shale gas output to hit 6.5 bln cubic meters
BEIJING, Oct. 18 (Xinhua) -- China's shale gas output will likely hit 6.5 billion cubic meters next year, up from an estimated output between 1 billion and 1.5 billion cubic meters this year, vice director of the National Energy Administration Zhang Yuqing predicted.
Shale gas production in recent years has seen leapfrog development since the country started to survey and explore the energy source in 2009, Zhang said at a workshop held in Beijing on Friday.

Ukraine’s Naftogaz calls for new gas transit deal with Russia
BERLIN, September 29. /ITAR-TASS/. Ukraine cannot guarantee reliable
Russian gas transit supplies through the country, Ukrainian state-run
oil and gas holding Naftogaz CEO Andriy Kobolev said in an interview
with German business daily Handelsblatt on Monday.
“We urgently need a new transit treaty, otherwise, we cannot guarantee non-stop (Russian gas) transit through Ukraine,” he said.
Ukraine needs transit contracts which would be concluded between Naftogaz’s subsidiary Ukrtransgaz, Russian energy giant Gazprom and Eustream, operator of the gas transmission system which would represent European interests.

Kiev fights in Ukraine’s southeast for shale gas deposits to be controlled by US (Aleksey Pushkov)
The control over Ukraine’s southeast is important for Kiev first of
all because of the shale gas deposits, which Western countries should be
developing, head of the State Duma’s international affairs committee
Aleksey Pushkov said on Saturday....
“Kiev is fighting in Ukraine’s east for the gas reserves: Germany says the reserves make 5,578 billion cubic metres (bcm) [the U.S. reserves are 8,976 bcm]. Control will be from the U.S.,” he wrote on Twitter. The Yuzivska shale gas field is at the border between the Kharkov and Donetsk regions.

Les USA fourniront du gaz en France.
On apprend que le 17 juillet une filiale du groupe d'énergie « Cheniere » a signe avec EDF un contrat pour la livraison de gaz naturel liquéfié, 770 000 tonnes par an, et ce pour la durée de 20 ans.
Donc, la question se pose: en France, on ne permet pas l’extraction du gaz de schiste par la méthode de coups hydrauliques, mais, derrière, on signe un contrat avec les Etats-Unis qui ont proposé leurs services aux pays européens.
Comment peut-on alors considérer cette décision de la compagnie nationale énergétique française? Nous adressons cette question à Henry Hude, écrivain et philosophe.

Russia’s Europe-bound energy supplies should stay outside sanctions (Günther Oettinger)
Russian oil and gas supplies to Europe should not be subject to
sanctions over Russia’s stance on Ukraine, European Union Energy
Commissioner Guenther Oettinger said on Wednesday.
The EU energy envoy said he had always spoken against imposing any sanctions on Russian gas and oil supplies.
He said, however, that Russia depended on Western technologies for offshore hydrocarbon and shale gas extraction.

Europe Considers Fracking to Cut Russian Gas Imports (That would be beneficial for both Europe and Russia)
WASHINGTON —The political crisis in
Ukraine, including its dispute with Moscow over the flow of Russian
natural gas, has forced many European nations to reconsider their
reliance on Russia for energy. Some nations are looking at new options
for extracting natural gas at home, including the controversial process
of hydraulic fracking.
Although much of Europe is dependent on Russian energy imports, the
continent is believed to be sitting on 13 trillion cubic meters of shale
gas, a significant reserve.

Jordan oks mega oil shale project
Jordan's cabinet on Sunday approved an agreement to build a mega oil
shale power plant in the Kingdom, Jordan's energy minister Mohammad
Hamed said.
"The agreement will be signed between the Jordanian government and an international Estonian-Malaysian consortium within two weeks, and it's the first of its kind in the region," the minister said.
Jordan has over 40 billion tons of oil shale in reserves and the 2.4-billion-US dollar power plant will produce electricity through direct oil shale burning, the minister said.

Ukraine eyes coal after Russian gas price hike.
Ukraine's Western-backed leaders scrambled on Friday to find new sources of energy after Russia hiked its gas price by 80 percent in response to the overthrow of Kiev's pro-Kremlin regime.
The crisis-hit nation saw the amount it must pay for 1,000 cubic metres of blue fuel soar to $485.50 from $268.50 after Russia imposed two price increases in three days that reflected its deep displeasure with the ex-Soviet nation's new westward course.
Energy Minister Yuriy Prodan called Russia's new price "political" and vowed to explore solutions that included a heavier reliance on coal -- a polluting source of energy whose consumption has imperilled the air quality of nations such as China.

EU unable to quit Russian gas import in near term. - CEO of Italian oil and gas company
The European Union is too dependent on natural gas imports from Russia to abandon them over the near term, chief executive of the Italian Eni energy group Paolo Scaroni said in an interview released in Financial Times on Monday.
Europe now depends on Russian gas, but if the EU and Russia achieve no compromise over Ukraine and Crimea, the EU will make giant efforts to diversify its energy sources, including shale gas production in the EU territory, more extensive liquefied gas imports and increased imports from Algeria, Libya and Norway, Scaroni believes.

Europe focuses on shale gas amid Ukraine crisis. -Exploration of S.G. in the EU as a tool to further diversify its energy supply
England, Poland, Romania
and Ukraine were the first countries to start distributing licenses for
the exploration and exploitation of shale gas.
By E. Gurkan Abay
ANKARA
EU countries have started distributing shale gas licenses to private companies, aiming to reduce the dependence on Russian natural gas, amid the crisis in Ukraine that sparked EU’s efforts to increase its energy security.
Europe will try to formulate ways to reduce its "concerning" level of dependency on Russian natural gas, at the EU March 20-21 summit in Brussels, according to draft summit documents. Local energy sources such as shale gas should be further exploited, the papers also state. England, Poland, Romania and Ukraine were the first countries to start distributing licenses for the exploration and exploitation of shale gas.
