Final Report on Unconventional Gas in Europe. November 2011
Este informe publicado por la Dirección General de Energía, de la Comisión
Europea, y elaborado por la firma de abogados Philippe & Partners tiene como
principal objetivo analizar la relevancia del marco jurídico europeo; incluida la
legislación ambiental; en la aplicación a la concesión de licencias, autorizaciones,
permisos, exploración, producción y explotación del gas de esquisto.

Rahm, Dianne. Regulating hydraulic fracturing in shale gas plays: The case
of Texas. Energy Policy, Volume 39, Issue 5, May 2011, Pages 2974-2981
Shale gas production through hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling techniques has
transformed natural gas production in the United States and portents to do so for the world.
Hydraulic fracturing is highly controversial in part because of fears of environmental
impactsparticularly on drinking water resources. The boom in shale gas production is not
likely to be stopped because of the amount of resource available, the need for the resource,
and the amount of money to be made from production.

term storage of CO2 in stimulated saline aquifers. Applied Energy, In Press,
Corrected Proof, Available online 21 July 2012
Increasing injectivity of saline aquifers affects CO2 long-term storage.
Vertical hydraulic fractures decrease long-term trapping ofCO2 in aquifers. Fraction of long-
term trapped CO2 is a function of stimulated aquifer’s stress regime. Non-Darcy flow inside
the fracture decreases injectivity of stimulated saline aquifers. Water injection
into stimulated saline aquifer improves residual trapping ofCO2.

Biodegradation, Volume 71, July 2012, Pages 15-21
Biocides used in fracturing fluids in shale natural gas formations were examined. All biocides had higher
MIC values for biofilms compared to planktonic cells. Higher levels of biocides were required to kill cells in
presence of humic acid. This MIC data could guide the control of microbial growth in future frac jobs.

3. The behaviour of injected fluids and hydraulic fractures in non-cohesive soils was investigated using
laboratory experiments and two field experiments. A viscous guar gel was injected into fine-grained sand
in the laboratory; of eight tests, two produced vertical fractures and a third produced both horizontal and
vertical fractures. At one field site, an injection well was installed at 4.1 m in silty clay, and water and
coarse-grained sand injected. Piping to the surface occurred beside the well. The second field injection
experiment took place in sandy gravel at a depth of 12.2 m. Water and guar gel were injected, and
infiltrated uniformly into the soil (verified using ground penetrating radar). During excavations, four
processes were noted when discrete hydraulic fractures were not produced: fluid infiltration, piping,
sloughing, and sandout. These processes can be controlled somewhat by adjusting fluid viscosity,
injection strategy, and well construction technique.
