The extent of Poland’s shale gas reserves should be known by the end of next year, the country’s Geological Institute said.

“We will probably have 3-4 wells this year and there will be 5-10 next year,” said Pawel Poprawa, the head of the petroleum geology laboratory at the institute. “By the end of 2011 we should know if there’s gas in the rocks and, if so, how rich the deposits could be.”
