Do our conceptions of “fracking” encompass its 'reality'?

The 'strategic environmental appraisal' (SEA) report produced by DECC

  • utlined a scenario

for the 14th Round PEDL licences. What the report considered was only a superficial set of environmental impact parameters...

There are many ignored issues... here's one:

SLIDE 5

If we use the SEA data, and then add information for the likely effluent quality, it is possible to calculate the levels

  • f waste generation
  • mitted from the

SEA report.

There are many ignored issues... here's one:

SLIDE 6

There are many ignored issues... here's one:

The Government uses a higher gas production per well compared to US data. On the SEA's figures only 0.5% to 10% of the resource is produced; more realistic data would indicate 0.2% to 4%. These new figures represent a 2½ times increase – but may be two or four times more with higher recovery.

SLIDE 7

The Mackay- Stone report:

The Government justifies the “low carbon” qualities of shale gas with reference to DECC's 2013 report, Potential Greenhouse Gas Emissions Associated with Shale Gas Extraction and Use. Question is, are the data and assumptions in the report valid?

slide-8
SLIDE 8

Mackay & Stone's results are arguably

  • ne quarter of the

values produced when using more representative data. Their calculations are correct – it's the statistics they use which are questionable.
