It's not clear where the UK 'data' are sourced, but it is not in the primary source referenced in this article: http://www.eia.gov/analysis/studies/worldshalegas/. The UK is not even on the list of top countries, let alone at the level represented. Regards, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 20:24, 27 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Here are two secondary sources for this data. However this is not *recoverable* shale gas. See (URL: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23077087) and (URL: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23069499). Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 20:56, 27 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Here are the official figures released by the Royal Geological Survey [[1]] and they confirm the figures but they also state that the recoverable percentage is unknown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.98.112.217 (talk) 15:46, 17 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
