Significant decline in interest in Polish shales

According to the Ministry of Environment, interest in Polish shales by both domestic and foreign entities is decreasing steadily. The data shows 31 licenses for exploration of hydrocarbon deposits for shale gas as for March 31, 2016, in comparison with 40 concessions as for August 31, 2015, and 53 licenses by the end of 2014.

Currently, nine Polish and foreign companies are interested in the production of hydrocarbons in Poland. Until now, 72 drills have been conducted in Poland.
