This review article examines the current state of shale gas development in Canada and globally, focusing on the technological, economic, and environmental aspects of extraction. The study includes an analysis of current trends in the shale revolution, industry development prospects, and key challenges faced by countries in exploiting these deposits. The article pays special attention to the innovative technologies used in shale gas extraction, including horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, which have significantly altered the energy landscape. The economic efficiency and competitiveness of shale gas production are also considered, which is crucial for understanding its impact on global energy markets. A review of the environmental consequences associated with shale gas extraction, such as water resource pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and other negative impacts on the environment, highlights the need for the development and implementation of sustainable technologies. An essential part of the article is the systematic analysis of global reserves and the extent of shale gas development in key countries, such as the United States of America and Canada. The Canadian experience in developing shale gas fields, particularly in the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, is analyzed in the context of global trends, allowing for the identification of both successes and challenges associated with shale gas extraction in various regions. Thus, the article provides a comprehensive understanding of the current state and future directions of the shale gas industry, based on data from various sources and conducting a comparative analysis of the technological, economic, and environmental factors affecting this rapidly evolving sector.
