This statistic depicts the volume of technically recoverable shale gas worldwide by region, as of 2015. There are about 1.43 quadrillion cubic feet of recoverable shale natural gas in South America. In Europe it is likely that shale gas will remain a supplementary source, where countries like France, firmly oppose using hydraulic fracturing to extract this resource.
Figures for the annual production of shale gas in the United States can be found here.
