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 considered too expensive to recover.
In 1996, shale gas wells in the United States produced 0.3 × 10 ^ 12 cu ft (8.5 km 3), 1.6% of US gas production; by 2006, production had more than tripled to 1.1 × 10 ^ 12 cu ft (31 km 3) per year, 5.9% of US gas production. By 2005, there were 14,990 shale gas wells in the US. [20]
In 2000 shale gas provided only 1% of U.S. natural gas production; by 2010 it was over 20% and the U.S. Energy Information Administration predicted that by 2035, 46% of the United States' natural gas supply will come from shale gas.
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]
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 ...
Canada's estimated total oil reserves including conventional oil were approximately 180 billion barrels (29 km 3), behind only Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. Canada produces approximately 2.7 million barrels (430,000 m 3) of crude oil a day, and 6.4 trillion cubic feet (180 km 3) of natural gas per year. In 2013, an IPSOS poll showed a majority ...
Natural gas was Canada's third largest source of energy production in 2018, representing 22.3% of all energy produced from fuels in the country. By contrast, the share of fuel-based energy production from natural gas in 2013 was 17.0%, indicating a growth rate of approximately 1.06% per year.
