Russia's Attitude towards Polish Perspectives of Shale Gas Production

Summary/Abstract: Th e article analyses political aspects of perspectives of shale gas production in Poland. A general situation with shale gas in Poland is studied, including the dimensions of its reserves technological issues of production and problems of investment and ecology. Th e text gives a detailed analysis of Russian reaction on the perspectives of Poland to become an energyindependent country based on positions of offi cials, analysts, journalists, and directors of oil and gas companies. Th e article concludes that Russian political elite regard even a partial independence of Poland from Russian gas supply as a serious problem. Nevertheless, energy independence of Poland in the near perspective seems unlikely, and it can be reached by import of liquefi ed gas from the US rather than by production of local shale gas.
