Emerging Unconventional Resources Overview 2014: China, Australia, Poland and Argentina - Key Emerging Markets for Shale Developments
M2 - Mon May 19, 6:27AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fpxxmt/emerging) has announced the addition of the "Emerging Unconventional Resources Overview - Regulatory Environment, Industry Developments and Key Challenges" report to their offering. China, Australia, Poland and Argentina: Key Emerging Markets for Shale Developments China and Australia are among the most important emerging markets for shale and Coal Bed Methane (CBM) development in the world. China possesses an estimated 643 billion barrels (billion bbl) of risked, prospective shale oil and 4,746 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of risked shale gas in-place, of which around 32.2 billion bbl and 1,115 tcf are estimated to be technically recoverable. China's shale resources are primarily located in the Sichuan, Junggar, Tarim and Songliao basins. The country also possesses around 1,300 tcf of CBM resources, which are primarily located in north, northeast, northwest, and south China. Australia's shale resources are primarily located in six major assessed basins - Cooper Basin, Maryborough Basin, Perth Basin, Canning Basin, Beetaloo Basin and Georgina Basin. The six basins contain 403 billion bbl of risked shale oil in-place, of which risked, technically recoverable oil accounts for 17.5 billion bbl. The six basins also contain 2,046 tcf of risked shale gas in-place, of which risked, technically recoverable gas is 437 tcf (EIA, 2013). Other major emerging markets for shale development are Poland and Argentina. Poland possesses an estimated 1.8 billion bbl of shale oil and 146 tcf of shale gas resources, while Argentina's estimated technically recoverable shale resources amount to 27 billion bbl oil and 802 tcf of gas. In China, the commercial production of shale gas has already started and is expected to increase at a considerable pace in future. Until December 2013, China's cumulative commercial shale gas production amounted to around 5.1 billion cubic feet (bcf). China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec) and PetroChina account for almost all of the shale gas production in the country. Sinopec achieved a total production of around 2.6 bcf, equivalent to a daily production rate of 5.3 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd), up until December 2013 from its project in Chongqing. The company plans to achieve an annual shale gas production capacity of 178.7 bcf by 2015 through its Fuling project in Chongqing municipality in southwest China. The capacity at the Fuling site is also expected to enable China to achieve or exceed its national target of 232.3 bcf of shale gas production by 2015. Australia is also witnessing the substantial development of CBM and shale gas resources. The Cooper Basin has emerged as particularly well-suited for shale development due to the presence of substantial gas processing capacity, gas-pipeline infrastructure, and the presence of service providers for fracking and well drilling in the nearby area. Additionally, Coal Seam Gas (CSG) projects are already in the production stages in the Bowen and Surat basins. Argentina has a suitable geology for the extraction of shale oil and gas, especially in the Neuqu?n Basin. The country is currently witnessing considerable progress in terms of investment in its shale resources. Some of the major international companies to have announced plans to invest in shale projects in Argentina include Dow, Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell (Shell), and Wintershall. Poland has witnessed many setbacks to its shale development plans, due primarily to the exit of major companies such as Eni, ExxonMobil, Marathon Oil and Talisman Energy, all of whom cited disappointing drilling results. However, other companies operating in the country such as Chevron are continuing with their exploration plans, and many have recently announced promising drilling results. For example, in February 2014 BNK Petroleum successfully completed the drilling, casing and cementing of its Gapowo B-1 horizontal well in Poland. The company reported excellent gas readings throughout the lateral, which confirmed the high prospects of the Lower Silurian and Ordovician shales for shale gas. Similarly, Lane Energy started test production at the Lebien LE-2H horizontal well in Lebork city in Northern Poland in August 2013. The well was reported to be producing eight thousand cubic meters (mcm) (or around 283 thousand cubic feet (mcf)) of shale gas per day, which was considered an unprecedented output in Europe at that time.
