N2 - This chapter will provide an acknowledgement of processes, concern regarding them, and geopolitics behind the exploitation of shale gas across the borders of countries to continents. Utilization of natural gases is shifting towards unconventional techniques from conventional. Shale gas reserves are nonuniformly distributed across the globe. This arises the geopolitical competitiveness to possess and exploit shale gas resources beneath their territory. This chapter highlights the growth of shale gas exploration and exploitation in different regions of the world, impact of geopolitics on shale gas exploration, consumption and prices. Exchange of technologies (fracking) to other nations for accessing their shale gas reserves will be further discussed. The chapter also includes possible threats to shale ecosystem, impact of ongoing conflicts and future prospects of shale gas on global politics. The chapter concerns about overview and dilemma of the proceeding towards unconventional gas resources as there are protest arising day to day.
