The Karoo National Park in South Africa
By John Donovan
The first three draft EMP documents below have been compiled by Golder Associates Africa (Pty) Ltd (Golder), a so called “independent” environmental consultant, retained and paid by Shell.
The documents are part of Royal Dutch Shells application to explore the Karoo basin in South Africa for shale gas using the controversial hydraulic fracturing (fracking) technique.
The remaining document is a critical review prepared by Havemann Inc., specialist energy attorneys.
