...also from the ABC on Friday, 26/03/2010 "The hunt for shale gas is on" By Babs McHugh, Perth 6000 is also a good read.

Keep a watch on the following companies drilling for shale gas - New Standard Energy (exploring for shale gas in the far north of Western Australia), Beach Petroleum (Cooper Basin) and particulary AWE (Woodada Deep - adjacent tenement to NWE).

Any significant discovery could be a catalyst for a feeding frenzy on companies with potential shale gas exploration assets e.g. NWE :-)))
