PRAGUE – In late June, the British Geological Survey announced the world’s largest shale-gas field. The Bowland Shale, which lies beneath Lancashire and Yorkshire, contains 50% more gas than the combined reserves of two of the largest fields in the United States, the Barnett Shale and the Marcellus Shale.
布拉格—去年6月，英国地质调查局公布了世界最大的页岩气田。位于兰开夏郡和约克郡地下鲍兰德页岩（Bowland Shale），其页岩气蕴藏量比美国最大的两块气田——巴涅特页岩（Barnett Shale）和马塞勒斯页岩（Marcellus Shale）加起来还要多50%。
