subject: Aarkstore Enterprise - North America Unconventional Gas Industry [print this page] Aarkstore announce a new report "North America Unconventional Gas Industry - Set to Regain Momentum Post Current Crisis" through its vast collection of market reserach report.
Summary
The leading business intelligence provider, has released its latest research North America Unconventional Gas Industry - Set to Regain Momentum Post Current Crisis The study, which is an offering from the companys Energy Research Group, provides an in-depth analysis the unconventional natural gas industry in North America, detailing the major sources and key challenges and prospects for their development. The report provides an outlook for the overall natural gas industry in North America (the US and Canada) with forecasts till 2020, analyzing the growing importance of unconventional natural gas production in the industry. The report provides detailed analysis of 7 major shale gas plays and 2 major Coal Bed Methane (CBM) basins in North America analyzing the drilling details, cost trends, historical forecast and major players in each play. The report also provides the production forecast for each of these plays to 2020. The report is built using the data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research and in house analysis by Global Markets Directs team of industry experts.
North Americas natural gas supply composition is currently undergoing a dramatic shift from conventional towards more unconventional gas sources such as tight gas, coal bed methane (CBM) and, most importantly, shale gas. Unconventional natural gas is fast becoming a major source of natural gas supplies for the future especially in North America.
The North American natural gas industry is expected to witness a steady growth in production, increasing at an AAGR of 1.2% during 2008-20. The unconventional natural gas will play an increasingly major role in the overall production accounting for approximately 52% of the total production in 2020. The shale gas plays are expected to witness a huge surge in activity. In US, 45% of the total expected unconventional natural gas is expected to come from the six major shale gas plays namely Barnett, Antrim, Haynesville, Fayetteville, Woodford and Marcellus. The unconventional natural gas production in the US is expected to increase at an AAGR of 2.3%.
In shale gas basins in North America, the natural gas production is expected to increase from approximately 6 Bcf/d in 2008 to 19.3 Bcf/d in 2020 at an AAGR of 9.7%. Haynesville shale will over take Barnett to become the largest natural gas producing shale in the US in 2019. Other two important shale plays expected witness significant activity are Marcellus and Canadas Horn River.
