1 Mar 2018 South Africa requires a robust regulatory framework designed to mitigate the risks of “Fracking, a process which enables access to shale gas not positive implications for South Africa's energy security and its diversification. The development of unconventional oil and gas resources, controversial in many countries, is currently being pursued by the South African government. This activity can have large impacts on the socio-economic and biophysical environments, especially water resources. The promise of jobs, cheaper and (potentially) cleaner fuel, and a massive GDP boost are particularly attractive to South Africa, with its ongoing energy and unemployment crises. But, as in other countries, the exploitation of unconventional oil and gas (UOG), particularly by hydraulic fracturing (or fracking), is proving controversial. (2016). Unconventional oil and gas extraction in South Africa: water linkages within the population–environment–development nexus and its policy implications. Water International: Vol. 41, Out of Mines, Out of Site: The water legacies of conventional mining, pp. 409-425. Unconventional resources may include shale oil and gas, coalbed methane (CBM) and tight sand oil and gas deposits. Although fracking is the main technique used to extract oil and gas from shale gas and tight sand deposits, other stimulation techniques may also be used (e.g. acidizing). One area of huge potential is natural gas, as the country has conventional, shale or coal bed methane (CBM) gas in abundance. The US Energy Information Administration puts South Africa’s recoverable offshore gas at 9 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), while another 9 Tcf of unconventional gas and 1.5 Tcf of CBM gas is located in the Karoo desert. This ‘plug-and-play’ characteristic has been the most important factor in America’s ability to scale gas and oil production from unconventional sources. Shale gas concessions in the Karoo Basin. Shale Gas Economics, South Africa. South Africa does not have this advantage and this does influence the economics of shale gas exploration, for a start.
