Growth of shale gas production in Canada The inclusion of unconventional shale gas with conventional gas reserves has caused a sharp increase in estimated recoverable natural gas in Canada . [ 1 ] Until the 1990s success of hydraulic fracturing in the Barnett Shales of north Texas, shale gas was classed as "unconventional reserves" and was ...
Shale gas has become an increasingly important source of natural gas in the United States over the past decade, and interest has spread to potential gas shales in Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia. One analyst expects shale gas to supply as much as half the natural gas production in North America by 2020.
The most shale gas activity in Canada has taken place in the province of British Columbia. [15] In 2015, 80% of the natural gas production in the province was produced from unconventional sources, where the portion of the Montney Formation located in British Columbia (BC) contributed 3.4 billion cubic feet (96 million cubic metres) per day ...
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 ...
The U.S. is seeing a big boom in shale drilling right now, but some companies are looking ahead to international options. Worldwide oil and gas reserves previously inaccessible or too costly to ...
(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 ...
The US and Canada are the only countries where shale gas is a significant part of the gas supply. Total natural gas rig count in the US (including conventional gas drilling) Shale gas is an unconventional natural gas that is found trapped within shale formations. [1]
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 ]
