This diploma thesis determines potential benefit of shale gas and its influence on price of gas on European market. For this purpose was chosen two variants, which have the best chance to decrease price of gas on European market. The first variant is extraction of shale gas directly in Europe. The size of deposits and cost estimates indicates the biggest potential from both variants. Possible extraction could be able to decrease significantly price of gas on European market. Nevertheless the present attitude of Europe to extraction can limit this potential. The second variant is import of LNG, which have already helped to decrease price of gas significantly in many European countries. Nevertheless its possible influence on price decline of gas is limited. Expenditures connected with LNG prevent to greater price decline on the possible level of extraction. Moreover Europe has to face to great competition from Asia, where considerable part of gas supply move to. Final benefit of LNG will depend mostly on the size of available supply.
