Abstract

1. IntroductionEuropean conventional natural gas reserves are depleting, which results in declining production curves. Consequently EU will become more dependent on the import of oil and gas than it is today (Soderbergh et al., 2009, 2010). On the other hand shale gas has become an important source of natural gas in the United States, feeding the economy, creating domestic jobs and improving the US energy balance. It is expected that the United States will be a net exporter of natural gas by 2030 (Paltsev et al., 2011: Manning, 2014). As a consequence, other countries in the world become interested in the domestic potential of unconventional oil and gas resources. Estimates for Europe’s technically recoverable shale gas volumes range between 3 and 18 trillion m3 (Tcm) (Weijermars, 2013) as compared to estimated world resources of 425 Tcm. The range reflects the inherent uncertainties of the estimates. Exploration is in progress in different EU Member States (e.g. United Kingdom, Poland, Hungary, Romania), or is taken into consideration (e.g. The Netherlands, Austria, Lithuania). These campaigns focused on marine black shales (Gasparik et al., 2012; Sachsenhofer & Koltun, 2012; Uffman et al., 2012; Andrews, 2013), following their success in the United States. The corresponding exploration target in Belgium is constrained to the Namurian aged Chokier Formation (Dusar, 2006; Nyhuis et al., 2014) (Fig. 1). The shale gas potential of the Namurian in the Campine Basin is poorly kno

1. 欧洲常规天然气储量日益枯竭,导致产量曲线呈下降趋势。因此,欧盟将比现在更加依赖石油和天然气的进口(Soderbergh et al., 2009, 2010)。另一方面,页岩气已成为美国重要的天然气来源,为经济提供了支撑,创造了国内就业机会,改善了美国的能源平衡。预计到2030年,美国将成为天然气净出口国(Paltsev et al., 2011; Manning, 2014)。因此,世界上其他国家也对国内非常规油气资源的潜力产生了兴趣。据估计,欧洲技术上可开采的页岩气储量在3 - 18万亿立方米之间(Weijermars, 2013),而世界上估计的页岩气资源量为425万亿立方米。范围反映了估计的内在不确定性。勘探正在不同的欧盟成员国进行(如英国、波兰、匈牙利、罗马尼亚),或者正在考虑(如荷兰、奥地利、立陶宛)。这些活动的重点是海洋黑色页岩(Gasparik et al., 2012;Sachsenhofer & Koltun, 2012;Uffman et al., 2012;安德鲁斯,2013),继他们在美国的成功。比利时相应的勘探目标仅限于Namurian年龄Chokier组(Dusar, 2006;Nyhuis et al., 2014)(图1)。人们对Campine盆地Namurian的页岩气潜力知之甚少

期刊介绍: Geologica Belgica is a Belgian journal that welcomes papers concerning all aspects of the earth sciences, with a particular emphasis on the regional geology of Belgium, North West Europe and central Africa. Papers not dedicated to the geology of Belgium, North West Europe and central Africa are only accepted when one of the authors is linked to a Belgian University or Institution. Thematic issues are highly appreciated. In this case, guest editors take in charge the selection of the manuscripts and the subject of the papers can be enlarged. The journal is in open access. Submitted manuscripts should be concise, presenting material not previously published. The journal also encourages the publication of papers from Belgian junior authors. Short letters are accepted. Papers written in English are preferred. Each mansucript will be reviewed by at least two reviewers.
