But is there enough enthusiasm to see it through and is there adequate water to make the already-controversial fracking process viable?

Chris Faulkner, CEO of Breitling Energy, spoke to Middle East Business Report.

He explained that a number of "big challenges" would have to be overcome in order to harvest shale gas in the Middle East.
