Resources For The Future: New Shale Gas Research

"A Review of Shale Gas Regulations by State"

Experts at Resources For The Future (RFF) analyzed regulations in the 31 states that have significant shale gas reserves to identify how 20 important regulatory elements are applied in each state.

The maps in this project show the preliminary results of these efforts for approximately 20 important regulatory elements in each state in the continental United States.  The purpose of these maps is to provide an overview of the regulatory patterns, similarities, and differences among states.  (RFF)
