Abstract
The article analyzes the role of shale gas in the context of energy policy and security of Ukraine at the present stage. The author emphasizes general trends of the global natural gas market, as well as the prospects for shale gas production in Ukraine. Foreign policy dilemmas, challenges, achievements, and prospects in the gas production industry in Ukraine are characterized. Particular attention is paid to the political, diplomatic, and international factors of the issue researched, as well as to the environmental factor that both contributes and prevents the extraction of shale gas in present conditions on the territory of Ukraine.
