China and Australia Emerge as Major Upcoming Markets for
Shale Developments
The development of unconventional oil and gas resources
is gaining momentum across the world, with China and Australia becoming two of
the most important emerging markets for shale and Coal Bed Methane (CBM)
exploration. China has approximately 643 billion barrels (bbl) of risked,
prospective shale oil and 4,746 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of risked shale gas
in-place, of which around 32 billion bbl and 1,115 tcf are estimated to be
technically recoverable. Australia is also witnessing a substantial development
of CBM and shale gas resources. The country already has a well-developed CBM
industry, which would support anumber of planned liquefied natural gas export
projects.
According to Senior Analyst, Says: "China is aiming
to develop its shale oil and gas and CBM resources rapidly, in order to meet
increasing demand for these products. However, a fast commercialization of
China's shale resources could be difficult, because of the country's shale
geology, its nascent horizontal drilling and fracturing services industry, and water
scarcity."
Other countries, such as ARGENTINA, POLAND, CANADA AND
VENEZUELA, have also been increasing investment in their shale gas resources.
Poland possesses an estimated 1.8 billion bbl of shale oil and 146 tcf of shale
gas resources, while Argentina's estimated technically recoverable shale
resources amount to 27 billion bbl oil and 802 tcf of gas.
According to Senior Analyst Continues: " The Cooper Basin Has Emerged As Particularly Well-Suited
For Shale Development, Due to The Presence Of Substantial Gas Processing
Capacity, Gas-Pipeline Infrastructure and Service Providers For Fracking and
Well Drilling Activities In The Nearby Area.
Argentina Has A Suitable Geology For The Extraction Of
Shale Oil and Gas, Especially In The Neuquen Basin. Some Of The Major
International Companies That Have Announced Plans to Invest In Shale Projects
In Argentina Include Dow, Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell and Wintershall," Gatdula Concludes.
