The first commercial gas well drilled in the US, in 1821 in Fredonia, New York, was a shale gas well producing from the Devonian Fredonia Shale formation. After the Drake Oil Well in 1859, however, shale gas production was overshadowed by much larger volumes produced from conventional gas reservoirs.
A map of 48 shale basins in 38 countries, based on US Energy Information Administration data, 2011.. This is a list of countries by recoverable shale gas based on data collected by the Energy Information Administration agency of the United States Department of Energy. [1]
48 structural basins with shale gas and oil, in 39 countries, per the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2011. As of 2013, the US, Canada, and China are the only countries producing shale gas in commercial quantities. The US and Canada are the only countries where shale gas is a significant part of the gas supply.
This is a list of countries by natural gas production based on statistics from The U.S Energy Information Administration (EIA). Natural Gas in this list means dry natural gas; which is used in homes and business for heating, cooling, cooking and electricity generation, it can also be compressed and used as a fuel. [1]
Due to constant announcements of shale gas recoverable reserves, as well as drilling in Central Asia, South America, Africa, and deepwater drilling, estimates are updated frequently. Since 2000, some countries, notably the US and Canada, have seen large increases in proven gas reserves due to development of shale gas , but shale gas deposits in ...
Top 5 oil-producing countries 1980–2022 World oil production This is a list of countries by oil production (i.e., petroleum production), as compiled from the U.S. Energy Information Administration database for calendar year 2023, tabulating all countries on a comparable best-estimate basis.
(The data below does not seem to include shale oil and other unconventional sources of oil such as tar sands. For instance, North America has over 3 trillion barrels of shale oil reserves, [ citation needed ] and the majority of oil produced in the US is from shale, leading to the paradoxical data below that the US will finish all its oil at ...
Ukraine signed a 50-year production sharing agreement with Royal Dutch Shell on 25 January 2013 involving the Yuzivska shale gas field. [9] [32] The $10 billion deal was the largest foreign direct investment ever for Ukraine. [32] Full shale gas production was expected to depend on successful results from 15 test wells. [32]
