The Jurassic shales of the Weald Basin: geology and shale oil and shale gas resource estimation

This report has been produced under contract by the British Geological Survey (BGS). It is based on a recent analysis, together with published data and interpretations. Additional information is available at the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DE CC) website. https://www.gov.uk/oil -and -gas -onshore -exploration -and -production . This includes licensing regulations, maps, monthly production figures, basic well data and where to view and purchase data. Shale gas related issues including hydraulic fracturing, induced -seismicity risk mitigation and the information regarding the onshore regulatory framework can also be found on this webpage. Interactive maps, with licence data, s eismic, relinquishment reports and stratigraphic tops for many wells are available at www.ukogl.org.uk . A glossary of terms used and equivalences is tabled at the end of the report (see page 65 ).
