Global Coal Bed Methane (CBM) Market 2014-2018 with Arrow Energy, BG Group, BP, Chevron, Dart Energy, ExxonMobil & Royal Dutch Shell Dominating
M2 - Fri Apr 04, 8:58AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jb435t/global_coal_bed) has announced the addition of the "Global Coal Bed Methane (CBM) Market 2014-2018 with Arrow Energy, BG Group, BP, Chevron, Dart Energy, ExxonMobil & Royal Dutch Shell Dominating" report to their offering. One of the major drivers in this market is the shifting focus from conventional gas sources due to the depletion of fossil fuels. Governments across the globe are being forced to shift their focus to alternative sources of gas supply including CBM, which is propelling the growth of the Global CBM market. Over the years, there has been a tremendous increase in technological advancements in the Global CBM market, which has resulted in the higher extraction of CBM from major reservoirs across the world. These technological advancements include the CBM production mechanism, the development of techniques for accurate isothermic testing and determination of gas levels, the development of well log interpretation, and well simulation models. Also, huge investments are being made in R&D to improve the efficient recovery of CBM through horizontal drilling while reducing the lead time and cost. The overall volume of production as well as the cost and risk have significantly declined due to these rapid technological advancements in the industry. Therefore, it is expected that technological advancements will be one of the key trends propelling the growth of the Global CBM market during the forecast period. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges confronting the market is the long dewatering period for CBM. The dewatering of a CBM well takes a lot of time and increases the overall cost of development of CBM wells. Key vendors dominating this space are: - Arrow Energy Pty Ltd - BG Group plc - BP plc - Chevron Corp. - Dart Energy Ltd. - ExxonMobil Corp. - Royal Dutch Shell plc. Other vendors mentioned in the report are: - Aberdeen Drilling Management Ltd. - Alkane Energy - BHP Billiton - Cathy Oil and Gas Ltd - CBM Asia Development Corp - China United Coalbed Methane Corp - Constellation Energy Group - ConocoPhillips Co - Devon Energy Corp. - Double Eagle Petroleum Co. - Encana Corp - Essar Energy Plc - Gazprom - GDF Suez S.A - Green Dragon Gas - Penn Virginia Corp. - Osaka Gas Co. Ltd. - Sinopec - Storm Cat Energy Corp. - Strait Oil & Gas Ltd - Tlou Energy - Total S.A. - Warren Resources Inc.
