2013 Report on the International Unconventional Gas (Shale Gas, Tight Gas And Coal Bed Methane) Market - Trends & Forecasts to 2019
M2 - Thu Jan 23, 5:03AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zlnm4w/unconventional) has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the International Unconventional Gas (Shale Gas, Tight Gas And Coal Bed Methane) Market - Trends & Forecasts to 2019" report to their offering. Unconventional gas resources can be classified into shale gas, tight gas, coal bed methane (CBM) and gas hydrates. They are widely used in power generation and industrial application. Focus towards decreasing reliance on depleting conventional resources is one of the major driving factors of global unconventional gas market. In addition, foreign investment by Asian oil and gas giants to acquire unconventional gas assets is further expected to propel the market growth. Regulatory support in the U.S. and China is expected to increase the production of unconventional gas during the forecast period. However, excessive utilization and contamination of surface water and high cost of production is expected to hamper the market growth in the near future. Presently, tight gas is largely produced and accounted for 44.4% of the total unconventional gas production in 2012. However, this trend is expected to shift towards shale gas due to technological development coupled with abundant technically recoverable shale reserves. Shale gas is expected to account for more than 47% of the overall market by 2019. Presently, more than 60% of the CBM is produced by North America however; this trend is expected to shift towards Asia Pacific by 2019 owing to huge CBM deposits. Key Topics Covered: 1 Preface 2 Executive Summary 3 Unconventional Gas - Industry Analysis 4 Shale Gas Market 5 Coal Bed Methane (CBM) Market 6 Tight Gas Market 7 Company Profiles Companies Mentioned: - AGL Energy - Anadarko Petroleum Corporation - Arrow Energy Pty Ltd - BG Group Plc - BHP Billiton Limited - British Petroleum - Chesapeake Energy Corporation - Chevron Corporation - China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) - China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) - ConocoPhillips - Dart Energy - Devon Energy Corporation - EOG Resources Inc - EXCO Resources Inc - ExxonMobil - Great Eastern Energy - Green Dragon Gas Ltd - Origin Energy Ltd - PetroChina Co Ltd - Royal Dutch Shell plc - Total SA - XTO Energy For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zl...nventional

'Unconventional Gas (Shale Gas, Tight Gas And Coal Bed Methane) Market For Industrial, Power Generation, Residential, Commercial And Transportation Applications - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends And Forecast, 2013 - 2019' The International Energy Agency (IEA) defines unconventional gas as gas that is technically more difficult or expensive to produce than conventional gas. The increasing energy demand cannot be met by the depleting conventional reserves, especially of oil, gas and coal hence there is shift towards unconventional gases. Shale gas has been dominating the total unconventional gas market and it is mostly produced in the U.S. and Canada. This report analyzes and forecast global unconventional gas market from the production point of view and not from demand or consumption side. The market size of unconventional gas is given in terms of revenue (USD billion) and volumes (bcf) between the period 2013 and 2019. The study also includes the key drivers and restraints along with impact analysis of each during the forecast period. Furthermore, the report also provides emerging opportunities which are expected to mushroom the market growth in the next six years. The unconventional gas market has been segmented into shale gas, tight gas and Coal Bed Methane (CBM) and each segment is further bifurcated in terms of application segments and regional markets. Each region has been estimated and forecasted on the basis of applications. All the applications and regional analysis are forecasted in terms of volume (bcf) and revenue (USD billion). The report includes the production of unconventional gases for major geographical regions such as the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World. In addition, the report comprises of value chain analysis to understand the value addition at each stage of the value chain across the unconventional gas market. The report also includes market attractive analysis of gas types which are gauged against growth rate, general attractiveness and market size. The report provides competitive landscape of the market, through Porter's Five Forces Model which analyzes the impact of buyer, suppliers, new entrants, substitute product and degree of competition on the overall market.

Fossil Fuel Electricity Generation in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld
PRWeb - Tue May 07, 3:01PM CDT
The Fossil Fuel Electricity Generation industry in Australia is expected to earn revenue of $17.1 billion in 2012-13, representing annualised growth of 4.1% over the past five years. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Caroline Finch, "this reflects the combination of slightly lower output and substantially higher prices over that period". Industry revenue is expected to expand more strongly in 2012-13, as higher prices (due to the introduction of carbon pricing) more than offset a fall in the amount of electricity generated from fossil fuels.
