Poland to wait 10 years for shale gas

Poland may be able to extract shale gas from the domestic reserves within ten years, according to State Treasury Minister Andrzej Czerwiński. "In ten years, after developing a certain technology we will be able to relatively cheaply extract shale gas and provide it to recipients. There is a shale gas in Poland, but as for now, it is impossible to extract it in huge amounts and on industrial scale," Czerwiński told Polish Radio. Until now, 70 drills have been conducted in Poland, compared with thousands in the US.
