One example of differences in geological conditions at production sites which may alter the ability to extrapolate results is that shales in the US are exploited only if they have low proportions (<50%%) of clay minerals 'to allow for successful fracture stimulation' [27] but the UK is known to have medium to high proportions of clay minerals [26, 27].
