World Shale Energy Day 2024 Overview
The multilingual, virtual World Shale Energy Day events will span several time zones and feature prominent supporters from every continent, focused on the crucial role that educators play in combating misinformation while also highlighting the positive role that shale energy plays in international energy security and why we need expanded shale energy education now.
Global Events
Workshops, panel discussions, and special performances focus on shale energy covering educational outreach, emerging green technologies, and innovative thinking that can restore the world’s ecosystems with clean, organic-rich shale energy.
Participant Leaders
World climate leaders, grassroots activists, health-care professionals, nonprofit innovators, thought leaders, industry leaders, safe power designers, artists, musicians, dance troupes, influencers, and the leaders of tomorrow gather to push us towards a better world with shale energy.
If you send us details about your event, we will publish them here!

☘️ 4 Guinness pint glasses engraved with “World Shale Energy Day” - what better way to celebrate organic-rich black shale that has enhanced the lives of countless people around the world than with a pint of rich black Guinness that brings life to any gathering (note: Guinness is not part of the prize…so the winner is welcome to fill the pint glasses with a—preferably dark—beverage of his or her choosing)
☘️ 4 stone “Happy World Shale Energy Day” Guinness coasters made in West Virginia - protecting the health and well-being of people and the environment a top priority when developing shale resources… and protecting your tabletops should be a top priority when enjoying a set of Guinness pint glasses.
☘️ Stone-handled bottle opener - using this unique bottle opener to unlock the potential of a sealed beverage can serve as a reminder of how hydraulic fracturing has unlocked the potential of shale.
☘️ “World Shale Energy Day” socks - many of us are lucky enough to have amazing shale resources below our feet…and what better way to remember that than by sporting a pair of #WorldShaleEnergyDay socks?
☘️ Book by George P. Mitchell: Fracking, Sustainability, and an Unorthodox Quest to Save the Planet - this hardcover book profiles “the father of fracking,” a renaissance man who didn’t embrace an over-simplified view of the world.
New Innovation is being celebrated by SER on World Shale Energy Day
Next Generation Rig Mats!
The new SER steel-framed, composite-filled Rig Mats, also known as crane mats or construction mats, are a great leap forward in site logistics.
These mats hold up under stressful load bearing situations as soils can be unreliable. SER uses proprietary controlled composite manufacturing processes thus yielding consistent material properties. The composites will not splinter, gain weight, warp, absorb liquids nor be susceptible to fungus and insect habitation. The use of Composite increases load bearing when compared to oak on properly supported soil and does so while under a smaller profile. The smaller profile allows for lower handling and shipping costs and creates an important innovation in shale energy infrastructure management.

One lucky winner will be drawn and announced live on LinkedIn March 18th at 9:00am EDT and will receive the following:
Join A Virtual Event
World Shale Energy Day is celebrated as a "virtual event". Because of the ubiquity of digital meeting and event management technologies, World Shale Energy Day can be celebrated by everyone with access to a digital device. Like EARTH DAY, this is a distributed event; with event planners creating celebrations around the globe. With tools like Zoom, there is merit to having no single, central, in-person event. However, there are many events (both in person and virtual) which are organized and hosted by supporters of World Shale Energy Day, on or near March 17th each year. Create your own event or find another event and join in yourself where the invitation is offered.
Explore Events Worldwide
World Shale Energy Day unites people world wide to get to know shale energy and to participate in a single-day celebration that fosters education, enables participation and stimulates communication that highlights the achievements of the shale energy industry. Search for hashtag #WorldShaleEnergyDay and find an event near you or post your own social media "shout out" to World Shale Energy Day.
This is all about YOU!
There are many ways you can get involved and individually or collectively make a difference. Whether you organize an outreach event in your company, community or institution, inspire the public through a professional society or chapter, help a teacher to bring it into the classroom or become a donor or sponsor, you can be an advocate for World Shale Energy Day!
Shale gas is becoming increasingly important source of natural gas across the world with estimates of more than 15000 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), however what limits the extraction is the required technology. America and Canada, being self-sufficient in that area, are currently leading the market with significant amount of shale gas production. Areas around the world have identified technically recoverable shale gas and more is being explored each day. In a report by U.S Energy Information Administration (EIA), Pakistan is listed among the top 10 countries of the world with the largest shale oil reserves along with Canada.
