Shale gas in the United Kingdom has attracted increasing attention since 2007, following the large-scale production of natural gas from shales in the US and Canada. A number of wells have been drilled and a single shale gas well has been hydraulically fractured, but as of 2019, there has been no commercial production of shale gas in the UK. On 1 November 2019, following a report from the Oil and Gas Authority, the government called a halt to all fracking in the UK "with immediate effect" and warned shale gas companies that it would not support future projects.
