GRAAFF-REINET NEWS - The Science Action Plan (SAP) for Shale Gas Development in the Karoo Basin will be launched virtually tomorrow, 27 September 2022 at 12:00 pm. 

The SAP provides an implementation framework and protocol to guide, coordinate and integrate baseline monitoring and research relevant to shale gas development. 

The Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) commissioned the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) and the South African Academy of Engineering (SAAE) to draft the SAP following their investigation into South Africa's technical readiness to host a shale gas industry in the Central Karoo. 

The content of this investigation was published in a report entitled "South Africa's Technical Readiness to Support the Shale Gas Industry" (ASSAf, 2016).
