neutral  Rossinka: qui si parla del gas, ed è il gas di scisti, non esiste il gas di argillite
5 hrs
  -> in italiano si usa dire "shale gas" :-)..a parte questo, il termine "gas di scisto" è un calco; in questo contesto secondo me "argilliti" è il traducente corretto perché si parla proprio del _tipo di rocce_ da cui questi idrocarburi vengono estratti
