SUMMARY:Durham Energy Institute & IGEM Conference, Durham University, Marc
 h 27th- 29th 2012
DESCRIPTION:European Shale Gas: Risk, Regulation and Research ChallengesSh
 ale gas has been a game-changer in the USA, but has yet to be   exploited 
 commercially in Europe.  Recent discoveries of 'vast reserves'   in t
 he UK, however, coupled with claims of aquifer pollution and   induced ear
 thquakes, have made shale gas big news, and with big news   come big chall
 enges.  From the geological distribution and exploration,   to the te
 chnical issues of exploitation and regulation, these  challenges  require 
 an integrated approach that unites all interested  parties.   Organiz
 ed by DEI, IGEM, and CeREES, this international,   interdisciplinary meeti
 ng will bring together policy makers, scientists,   engineers and stakehol
 ders.  It has the twin aims of informing new   codes of practice for 
 UK shale gas exploitation, and of building UK and   European research capa
 city in shale gas and other unconventionals.   With  invited presenta
 tions from recognized experts in all areas of the   field, coupled with wo
 rkshops and plenary discussions, it represents a   unique opportunity to i
 nform the future directions of shale gas   exploitation, regulation and re
 search in the UK, Europe, and beyond. https://www.dur.ac.uk/unconventional
