The development of shale gas production in the united states

In 2015, shale gas commercial production was essentially limited to two countries, namely the United States and Canada with, respectively 87 and 13 per cent of world production. However, large projects have been implemented in other countries such as Argentina and China, while some other countries have banned the development of such resources either directly or through the prohibition of its main production technique, hydraulic fracturing, for example in France. The division of countries into groups in favour of or against the exploration and production of unconventional natural gas from shale gas deposits has been one of the main features characterizing this sector for a decade.
