Fracking Myths Debunked – Energy Security

Posted on December 26, 2015 by Tessier Ashpool

Fracking is not a pathway to UK energy security. An average shale gas well produces 1 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas, an average coal bed methane well (CBM) produces half of that. Divide that by UK gas consumption and you realise that we’d need to be drilling 8-10 new wells each and every day! 3,500 each year!!!
