Shale gas: map of France exploration, exploitation ...

Shale gas (and oil) maps in France (exploration and exploitation).

Topic created for more visibility following the 2 subjects on shale gas: https://www.econologie.com/forums/le-gaz-non ... 10134.html
https://www.econologie.com/forums/gaz-de-sch ... t9986.html
Topic on shale oil:

Here are several maps on shale gas / oil and prospecting in France:

A) 2 detailed official maps with names of the exploders and dates:

Mining prospecting map in France. July version 2010
Mining prospecting map in France. January version 2011


It is necessary to compare the differences in 6 months between the 2 cards (they are very heavy, must zoom a max).

For the moment, apparently, we are in the exploration phase because there has been no new concession, on the other hand requests for exploration permits are very numerous on the last 6 2010 months and have especially strongly progressed in 6 months!

We count indeed; 25 exploration permit requests between 1 / 7 / 10 and 31 / 12 / 10 against 15 between 1 / 1 / 10 and 30 / 6 / 10!


What is missing is the exact nature of the exploration and even exploitation requests on the maps: oil, natural gas, shale gas, ore .... ??? we don't know, but given the names of companies interested in 2010, it smells like shale gas full nose !!

I think that shale gas is mainly YELLOW areas.

This information has been "gathered" in parts in some "amateur" maps on Google Map:

B) A VERY INCOMPLETE permit application (exploitation) card:

C)

(exploration permit area for the south)

It is also "amateur" but it corresponds well to the publication of Total:

This zoom on Ile de France on the July 2010 map should ... particularly interest our dear Capt_Maloche:

Just hope that the French operators make less pigs than their American counterparts (see Gasland documentary) !!

But when we see that most companies applying for permits have English Saxon names ... so little (or not?) Of legal responsibilities in France, well we can fear the worst ...

The same 6 months later ... it "gets gray" ...

Government response to those signing the petitions against shale gas:
jean-marie.durand@developpement-durable.gouv.fr
Madame, Monsieur,

I have received several thousand e-mails drawing my attention to the environmental problems posed by shale gas extraction and asking me to set up a moratorium (petition no. 1). I wrote a short answer which was then automatically sent to you. I received more than 200 individual responses then, very quickly, several thousand identical e-mails (petition no. 2). At the same time, the media relayed your concerns. These very many reactions testify that we share a common passion for the environment and I am delighted.

I have personally read each individual email and of course the petitions. You will understand that my answer will be collective.

Extensive information is available on the website of the Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development (www.developpement-durable.gouv.fr) in the section “energies and climate”, in particular on the procedures and the guarantees which they bring, on the permits granted and the requests in the course of examination with the associated cartography and on renewable energies.

The government has decided to launch an inspection mission on shale gas and oils in order to be informed on economic (worldwide and in France), social and environmental issues. The report will be public (progress report on 15 April, final report on 31 May). You can read the press release and the mission letter at www.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/spip. ... icle = 20901

The Minister of Ecology and Sustainable Development and the Minister of Industry and Energy obtained a meeting on Thursday 10 February with industrialists holding permits to search for gas or shale oils. It was agreed that:
- for gas, there would be no drilling and no technical field operation before the submission of the final report,
- for oils, there would be no drilling before the submission of the interim report and no hydraulic fracturing before the submission of the final report.

http://www.developpement-durable.gouv.f ... icle=21191

Jean-Marie Durand
Deputy Director of the firm
MEDDTL


It is to be hoped that the final report is not laid by the lobbies as for mediator type drugs from 1976 ?? ???

It is said that hope gives life ..

One thing is sure:

I have personally read each individual e-mail


This is a lie ... : Cheesy:

We can send to this government email address the references to the Gasland video and to the Quebéquois report put on econology, inviting to view them, if the officials of our government have not seen or read it enough !!

https://www.econologie.com/gaz-de-schist ... -4336.html
https://www.econologie.com/gasland-video ... -4335.html

The number and the argument is strength.

If the report is favorable to this gas, we can no longer believe them.

Well here it is, the well we saw in Itteville when going to winter sports

Take a dump

it remains to be seen what type of exploitation it is

Well, it's not to panic, but there is still a very good chance that it is gas or shale oil... otherwise it would have been exploited for a long time, right?

I do not know which of the 2 is the most catastrophic for the environment ... I would tend to say shale oil ... because when there is oil there is gas and oil it pollutes more "sustainably" slicks than gas ...

I think that with the references of the exploration permit you can find the info ...

After nothing says that exploration gives an exploitation phase!

Another French petition (copied from https://www.econologie.com/forums/le-gaz-non ... 10134.html )

Christophe wrote:Petition against shale gas
Without any information, without any consultation, the French government offered to national and foreign companies the right to explore the French subsoil in search of gas and shale oil.

The technique to bring the gas back to the surface is new, delicate and above all, disastrous on the environmental level. "Horizontal hydraulic fracturing" consists in causing faults with the help of a liquid sent at a very high pressure, to release the gas and the oil taken in the compact rock, at about 2000 meters deep. Three "ingredients" are needed to create these mini earthquakes: phenomenal amounts of water (between 15 000 and 20 000 m3), chemicals (more than 500) to attack the rock and micro-beads to keep open the gaps .

In the United States, the record of the extraction of these fossil fuels is catastrophic: massive pollution of groundwater and air, destruction of landscapes and natural environments, etc. Their exploitation in France would inevitably lead to the same damage and increased emissions of greenhouse gases, even though our country has committed to divide them by four.

Exploration authorizations on more than 10% of the territory have been granted without debate on energy needs in the medium and long term, without discussion on the need to fight against waste, seek better energy efficiency and renewable alternatives.



For all these reasons, we demand a public debate with civil society, local and national elected representatives, to draw up a complete inventory of the environmental, health, economic and social consequences of this "new industrial madness".

This is why we are calling for an immediate freeze on prospecting and the suspension of shale gas and oil exploration licenses throughout France.

Collective coordination for a moratorium on shale gas prospecting

How many signatures are needed for politicians to start listening? 100 000?

A priori according to their site http://www.geopetrol.fr would it be oil (shist or conventional?)?

It is a Parisian company.

It may be written on the fence

I will go for a walk to see

Oh yes, give us a nice photo report :)
