Local stakeholders and land access

Local impact

• Land-based shale involves frequent interaction with local stakeholders

• Fit for purpose impact assessments and sound CSR and HSE measures crucial to success

Land access

• The US is unique in terms of coupling land access and resource access

• All relevant countries outside US will involve:

− Access to resources through government

− Access to land through negotiations and relationship with authorities and land owners
