Shale gas development has been of increasing importance in the US for some years, but exploration has only just begun in the UK. The potential of producing shale gas from a suitable formation can only be established by fracturing the rock, and it happens that the fracturing of the first...

DECC commissioned a BGS study in 2010 which estimated that the UK total coal bed methane (CBM) resource (or hydrocarbons in place) is largeâabout 2,900 billion cubic metres, based on identifying coal resources that are thick enough, with gas content >lm3/tonne, away from worked coalmine seams, aquifers and coal mine methane recovery:

But the presence of a CBM resource does not imply that the geotechnical conditions required to establish significant gas flow (e.g. permeability in the coal seams) exist nor that the resource can be recovered economically.
Estimation of reserves will depend on proving commerciality. There are two pilot CBM fields producing methane gas in the UK, Potteries and Doe Green, which have yet to prove commerciality. However, the Airth CBM field, in Scotland has seen significant, investment and there are plans for a full-scale development which are currently under review.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what estimate his Department has made of the volume of methane escaping to the atmosphere from the Elgin Field; and what the warming potential of this is in carbon dioxide equivalent.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what his Department's latest estimate is of the reserves of methane hydrate in the UK; what his Department's policy is on the extraction of methane hydrate; and if he will make a statement.
