Shale Gas : Is It A Viable Source Of Energy
For India
Since Shale Gas is Widely extracted
and now used in USA so we need to discuss its features and application and
there is also a need to see the possible harm of the Shale Gas .
Extracted from
Fresh water beds , from Shale rock so that is why the gas evolved named as
Shale Gas
A mixture of
Chemical and an Heavily Equipped Mechanism id used to extract the Shale Gas .
Since no Burning , Neither any pollution
been caused in the process of the extraction and further in use so it is considered as clean source of
energy as per the atmospheric perspective is concerned but there could be some negative effects on the Water from which
it is extracted .
It can be a
Viable Option when found in Abundance For example in USA .
Since it is a
Natural Gas SO further it does not pollute the Atmosphere and no threat for
“Global Warming “ As said by many experts
but their opinion differs on the way of extraction .
Applications
:
Can be used as
an alternative to the already deficient resources and can ease the pressure
hence put on them .
Viable for the
country Extracting the resource as it can Boost the Economy , We have seen the
Affect its invention has
caused in USA their long term limping Economy has got a Boost and now they are
not only extracting and using rather they are also
Exporting it to other countries.
It can
dramatically reduce burden from the resource if it cannot alter them and their
use but can be of a Big help.
Reduce the
increasing percentage of Green House Gases such as Carbon Dioxide ,
Methane , Nitrous Dioxide from the
Atmosphere as it is termed as Natural Gas but this is also a
matter of Discussion .
Bring Down the
Growing Rates of the oil and other Gases as it has been already brought down
the usage in USA we have already seen that
when Shale was Invented then it was 12 $ and now it has been reduced 3$ .
Due to use of
Chemical Injection for the extraction of this Gas , it can cause the Water
Unfit for Drinking purposes as the gas is extracted from fresh water beds .
The more
extraction , the more harm to the fresh water living aquatic animals , mad made
and ma carried Extraction can cause a great to already in danger of extinction
of aquatic life of the water .
With the Shale
gas , There is also a Fear of Methane gas Leakage which can cause harm to both
the water where it is spread and to the nearby atmosphere .
Can be a rope
to a falling person or seriously to a falling Economy of India but can be if
and only if Successfully Harnessed .
Since new
Industry would be set up so more Employment can be a boom for the Unemployed of
this country .
Can take Some
Burden Off Coal, as is exploited to a large extent and this can certainly
reduce it .
Reduce the
demand for other fuels such as Oils, CNG, LPG etc as India is already energy
deficient in there .
Since it is a
clean form of energy so the position of India in pollution Index Listing in
world Can come dramatically Down.
Land Acquisition a
major difference between India a Quasi-Federal Union from USA
complete Federal state Could
caus some problems for India.
Again, India is
a water scarce state , we largely depend on Monsoon for fresh water and Shale
Gas is only found in fresh water which could be a possible problem from
Indian Context .
Similar
Problems as USA is facing about possible Environmental hazards which
could be a spot on the Shirt could not be easily Removable .
Policy
Paralysis is a very Strong problem in India and currently in our country
many policies have already been unde Scanner .
We are not as
much as Technologically Advanced as the USA which itself is a Very Grave
Concern to look Into.
This is very New And relatively
not experimented though for India for the time being but in past
we have seen such things have Changed the whole perspective of the time
being According to me Shale Gas is not a Viable resource form India’s Point of
view Because I Think we should wait for Some time before Hurriedly Flowing into
the stream and further in USA too There has been a lot of voices
Raised against the Shale Gas and mainly IT’s Extraction way and it’s
Possible effect on Environmental benefits Because we Know that many
things which could benefits us in Short Run Can be hazardous in Long Run , In
USA the government has form an EPA whose once a report on it has come which had
made much negative on Shale but due to much Protest a new Report Is expected To
hit I this year and the I think the things will get much clear about the Shale
and its Effect on the Environment .

Energy as from the beginning of its
Invention has dramatically Changes the Mindset and the World Around us Whether
it was Invention of steam then Coal and now Crude oil ,with new
form coming as CNG’ s and LPG’s etc, but all these are not permanent , rather
they all are near to the extinction specially the coal and crude oil reserves
and as the world is progressing towards a new future , now with a new era there
needs are changing so as the power consumption needs of the people , Increase
in population have directly increased the power needs and requirements but we
already facing shortage and since many such natural resources are decreasing
Day by Day ,
there is a sincere need for mankind to search for other viable options around us, And one of such option is Recently Emerged basically in abundance in USA but have created a worldwide impact on other countries and given another ray of hope in energy sector specially to the energy deficient countries , the resource is Shale .
there is a sincere need for mankind to search for other viable options around us, And one of such option is Recently Emerged basically in abundance in USA but have created a worldwide impact on other countries and given another ray of hope in energy sector specially to the energy deficient countries , the resource is Shale .
Shale Gas is Basically Extracted from
the Pores of Shale Rock deep in the Waterbeds of fresh water source because
Shale Rock Exists in the fresh water so there is a need for lot of fresh
water , then after assuring the Shale Rock reserves A Mixture is injected into
the rocks and then the pores are formed which evolves Shale gas which is
further Trapped after wards used it , This is typical Extraction of shale
gas and now let’s focus on the Application and features with some short comings
.
Shale
Gas : Features, Application And Issues :
Features

country Extracting the resource as it can Boost the Economy , We have seen the
Affect its invention has

not only extracting and using rather they are also
Exporting it to other countries.
It can
dramatically reduce burden from the resource if it cannot alter them and their

Reduce the
increasing percentage of Green House Gases such as Carbon Dioxide ,

matter of Discussion .
Bring Down the
Growing Rates of the oil and other Gases as it has been already brought down
the usage in USA we have already seen that
when Shale was Invented then it was 12 $ and now it has been reduced 3$ .
Since we have discussed the features
and application of this form of energy , there is an Enormous need to also
Assess the Shortcomings from Using or Extraction of this Gas Cause .
Some
Issues:
Due to use of
Chemical Injection for the extraction of this Gas , it can cause the Water
Unfit for Drinking purposes as the gas is extracted from fresh water beds .
The more
extraction , the more harm to the fresh water living aquatic animals , mad made
and ma carried Extraction can cause a great to already in danger of extinction
of aquatic life of the water .
With the Shale
gas , There is also a Fear of Methane gas Leakage which can cause harm to both
the water where it is spread and to the nearby atmosphere .
Since
Shale Gas is in abundance for USA so it can cater their needs but for instance
in United Kingdom or France similarly for India where there is less
availability of fresh water and Shale rocks this extraction can drastically effect
the country’s environment, so it is not advisable of water deficient countries
to carry out an operation in the way for Shale Gas .
Above Section we have discussed the
important things of Shale Gas for m its Extraction to the market effect and the
possible hamper it could do to the environment but we have to further
investigate whether this shale gas could be of some help for India which we
will discuss in the next section .
Shale
Gas : As in India’s View
India as like rest of world is also
Quiet excited by this form of Natural resource and they are trying their best
to spread it in all the countries so that their exports could gain and
reduction in imports specially of crude oil and LPG, CNG etc.
Now, let’s get back to towards India
, for now there has been some attempts already made to know about this natural
resource and its application and further it’s uses in the present context . One
step has already been taken in that way by Ministry of Petroleum and Natural
Gas by identifying six places in our country which may have some Shale
resource those places are Cambey Basin, Assam Basin, Gondwana Basin, Godavari
Basin, Kaveri Basin , Indo-Gangtic Plain , these all places are in the Process
of study and data collecting further after that there could some report on it .
The Government has set up an Draft
Policy to take care of the matter of whole Shale Gas and further basic
Extraction and implementation policy are yet to be decided now ,for India if we
find some concrete evidence on Shale Gas Reserves ,is it a viable option , may
be Yes or may be not that time will decide but for now let’s discuss the
possible merits and demerits of the Shale Gas for India.
Merits
of Shale for India :
Can be a rope
to a falling person or seriously to a falling Economy of India but can be if
and only if Successfully Harnessed .
Since new
Industry would be set up so more Employment can be a boom for the Unemployed of
this country .
Can take Some
Burden Off Coal, as is exploited to a large extent and this can certainly
reduce it .
Reduce the
demand for other fuels such as Oils, CNG, LPG etc as India is already energy
deficient in there .
Since it is a
clean form of energy so the position of India in pollution Index Listing in
world Can come dramatically Down.
Problems
for India in Shale Gas :
Land Acquisition a
major difference between India a Quasi-Federal Union from USA
complete Federal state Could
caus some problems for India.
Again, India is
a water scarce state , we largely depend on Monsoon for fresh water and Shale
Gas is only found in fresh water which could be a possible problem from
Indian Context .
Similar
Problems as USA is facing about possible Environmental hazards which
could be a spot on the Shirt could not be easily Removable .
Policy
Paralysis is a very Strong problem in India and currently in our country
many policies have already been unde Scanner .
We are not as
much as Technologically Advanced as the USA which itself is a Very Grave
Concern to look Into.
To sum up there are some advantage
but on the same road some Grave concerns regarding it, Further we would move to
conclusion Section.
Conclusion:
I think we should first Have Access
to the proper information about Shale and its usage for India
In the present Scenario , it’s merits and demerits as in Indian View
everything regarding Shale should be properly taken care and then considering
and thinking the proper decision should be taken but for now Yes Shale gas is a
new form of Energy and we Indian People Should be Cautious Welcome It, Before
Applying Consider every aspect of it .
