1) The document presents a case study of potential shale gas production in Brabant, Netherlands, examining the production field layout, environmental effects, mitigation measures, and regional participation. 2) Based on spatial analysis criteria like proximity to buildings and protected areas, a potential production field of 37 well sites over 10-20 km2 was identified, with individual sites having 6-10 wells each. 3) Environmental effects of shale gas production discussed include traffic, water use, noise, landscape impacts, and potential groundwater contamination, along with suggested mitigation measures.
