To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change pursuant to the answer of 16 May 2013, Official Report, column 358W, on fracking, what plans he has to commission further studies on the volume of shale gas in place to determine a total UK shale gas resource.

DECC has already commissioned further work by the British Geological Survey to assess the potential shale gas resource in the Weald area in the South of England. Once that study has been carried out, DECC will consider whether further analysis will be needed to assess the potential shale gas resource in other parts of Great Britain.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what assessment he has made of the expected rate of fugitive methane emissions from the development of UK onshore shale gas resources; and whether he intends to commission additional research on this subject.

In December 2012, the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, the right hon. Member for Kingston and Surbiton (Mr Davey) requested a study to gather available evidence on potential greenhouse gas emissions from shale gas extraction in the UK and the compatibility of potential UK shale gas production and use with climate change targets. A report is being prepared with the outcome of this study and recommendations to mitigate the impacts of shale gas exploration, production and use. I expect this report to be published in the summer.

No.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what assessment he has made of the total UK onshore shale gas resource; and when he plans to publish the recent report on shale gas resources produced by the British Geological Survey.

We are working with the British Geological Survey on a study to assess the volume of shale gas in place (ie the resource as distinct from the proportion which might be economic to produce) in the Bowland Shale of northern England. I expect that the report will be published this summer. With regard to the total UK shale resource, further studies looking at other UK shale deposits will be required.
