According to this research, almost 80% of Pakistan is sitting on top of Shale Gas and Shale Oil, which refers to oil and gas that is trapped within shale formations. Shale is fine-grained sedimentary rock that can be rich sources of petroleum and natural gas.
The tech is not very cheapy available and if used will be costly for Pakistan more than buying it from Gulf. Better wait for a decade or so and hope the tech improves and becomes economical.How would this be extracted? Through fracking?
How would this be extracted? Through fracking?
Yes they can be extracted through fracking,injecting gases,drilling,using pumpjacks and other advance technologies but unfortunately our government is never interested in such advance technologies
Are there other viable options available besides fracking?
Yes check that out:

How would this be extracted? Through fracking?
Pakistani scientists have already succeeded in it... !
How would this be extracted? Through fracking?
don't know how... but you have a lead search for it. Dr. Samar Mubarik was leading it but later many phd were involved and reporting success.Don't tell me through fracking?
Dr Samar, was also involved in a Gas to Liquid project in Balochistan which was shut down by PPP, is it the same one you are talking about, secondly any updates on the GTL project?don't know how... but you have a lead search for it. Dr. Samar Mubarik was leading it but later many phd were involved and reporting success.
This technology sounds good, but unfortunately it's still in the works. Any idea as to what is the cheapest and most environmentally friendly process of extracting shale oil & gas? Possibly a mature technology?
