mostly what’s fracked overseas before 2020 will be natural gas

I read an interesting article on Estonia’s oil shale. It’s shallow and loaded so it’s being mined and either burned directly or being processed. This began well before WWII and both the German and Red Armies ran on the product. Of course at different times during the war. These deposits explain a lot about Putin’s obsession with Estonia.
That map shows the assessed basins. I bet there are a lot more un-assessed basins that aren’t shown on that map.
For 80 Euros, you can purchase Maria van der Hoeven’s, Antoine Halff’s and the OECD’s opinions on horizontal drilling and fracturing technology.
Anywhere that oil,gas or coal is found in *civilized* countries...US,Canada,Australia,certain Western and Central European countries...and others...is good.Their discovery anywhere else is potentially bad.I give you the USSR as an example of that (yes,I said USSR).
