Tunisia could abandon its shale gas project, a source close to the case told AfricanManager.
Tunisia seems to be convinced by the adverse effects of this technology. The decision to cancel the project could be announced next week, the source said.
The extraction of shale gas has sparked controversy among ecologists since the announcement of negotiations between Tunisia and Shell.
Drilling and exploitation of shale gas has also been for many years the subject of controversy, particularly in Europe.
