Unconventional Natural Gas Will Account for Majority of Natural Gas Supply and will be the key driver of Natural gas production growth in North America
The North American natural gas industry is expected to witness a steady growth in production from 72.4 Bcf/d in 2008 to 82.1 Bcf/d in 2020, at an AAGR of 1.2%. The unconventional natural gas is expected to account for 52% of the total production in 2020. In US, the unconventional natural gas already accounts for approximately 50% of the production. By 2020, the share is expected to increase to 58%. In Canada, the unconventional natural gas production is expected to account for 30% of the production in 2002, up from approximately 5% share in 2008.
North America Natural Gas Industry, Growth In Natural Gas Production, Bcf/d, 2008-20
Shale gas plays are expected to be the prime drivers of growth in North America’s natural gas production. The six major shale gas plays in North America namely Antrim, Barnett, Woodford, Haynesville, Fayetteville, Marcellus and Horn River are together expected to produce approximately 19.6 Bcf/d in 2020 with over 50% of this production coming from Haynesville and Barnett shale plays.
