Abstract

[Unconventional oil is frequently presented as the future of petroleum-based energy resources.1 Critics, in contrast, denounce unconventional oil as a major factor of environmental insecurity for local ecosystems, communities and the planet. In particular, they claim that unconventional hydrocarbon sources are frequently associated with deregulation of oil extraction and petroleum commodity chains, have negative environ mental impacts, and increase the number and intensity of energy and environment-related conflicts.]
