Shale gas development, where rock formations are horizontally drilled and broken apart using water, chemicals and sand under high pressure in a process known as hydraulic fracturing, has driven a surge in U.S. gas output and damped prices. Poland holds Europe's largest reserves, sufficient to meet the country's needs for 300 years, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in April.
