Abstract
Global energy security throughout the next century will continue to depend significantly on fossil fuel and nuclear whilst unlocking the potential of renewable as well as unconventional sources. The UK government's industrial strategy highlights the importance of continuing support for the oil and gas and nuclear sectors. BGS has recently released a shale gas estimate for parts of the England. The lower limit of the range is 822 trillion cubic feet (tcf) and the upper limit is 2281 tcf, but the central estimate for the resource is 1329 tcf. We proposed the development of a joint infrastructure with industry (the Energy Test Bed) to generate data-driven opportunities to address the challenges and opportunities of the shale gas and other energy sectors.
