Edward Hough is the coordinator of the SECURe project consortium. He leads BGS’s shale gas research and has an interest in the links between geological variability of shales and the amount of hydrocarbons they host.
Ed has researched the geology of north-west England for twenty years; this area includes several exploration license blocks with shale gas interest and includes sites of hydraulically fractured shale gas exploration wells. Ed has appeared on BBC TV and radio discussing geological aspects of shale, including the resource in Britain and possible impacts associated with hydraulic fracturing. He was EAGE-SPE special lecturer, shale gas perspectives, and sits on the EuroGeoSurveys GeoEnergy Expert Group.
As well as project coordination, Ed will be contributing to the development of good practice for unconventional gas production in WP6: Sharing best practice and knowledge.
