Abstract
Shale Gas is an unconventional gas resource. Currently, about 5-6 % of the domestic gas produced in the US comes from fine-grained Paleozoic sediments which are thick and rich in organic matter. Today, nearly all wells in shale gas targets are being drilled horizontally and fracture stimulated due to the low matrix permeability of shale. Increasing prices for fossil fuels and tax credits led to an intensified exploration and production of shale gas in the US. In Europe shale gas exploration is still in its infancy. However, European sedimentary basins offer the potential for shale gas occurrence as thick, organic matter-rich sediments occur in nearly all Phanerozoic strata. Even so there is little knowledge about the factors controlling shale gas generation in European basins. However, these factors may differ from those controlling shale gas occurrence in the US.
