Morocco plans to drill to test for shale gas in the second half of 2011 as it seeks to decrease reliance on fuel imports, said Haddou Jabour, an official at the country’s energy regulatory body.
Studies conducted by the state-run Office National Des Hydrocarbures et Des Mines and its foreign partners showed that the kingdom has “good potential” in shale gas, Jabour, promotion and partnership manager at the office known as ONHYM, said in an interview yesterday in Marrakech.
