Oil Sands, Gas and Oil Shales Market Growth
Energy Business Reports, Sep 2011, Pages: 277
Oil Sands, also known as tar sands and bituminous sands, have emerged as a source of unconventional petroleum resources. Oil sands are being used worldwide as a petroleum alternative. While Canada is a leader in the oil sands industry, the United States and other countries are catching up fast and developing oil sands in a bid to upgrade the bitumen source to synthetic crude oil.
This research report explores the tremendous possibilities offered by three unconventional sources of energy - Oil Sands, Gas Shales, and Oil Shales.
Gas shales are a type of natural gas that is produced from shales. With the rising demands for energy in the world today, shale gas has become an important source of natural gas in not only the United States, but all over the world.
Oil shales are organic sedimentary rocks that contain a large amount of kerogen that can be converted into liquid hydrocarbons. While these are three different forms of unconventional energy sources, what is common amongst these them is that the world is starting to use them more and more as the energy crunch hits major countries.
This report, Oil Sands, Oil Sands, Gas and Oil Shales Market Growth, analyzes these sources of energy including and overview of the each energy source, extraction technology, market potential for each, and the major players.
The economics of each energy form is also analyzed as well as the environmental impact of extracting energy from these shale and sand formations.
This report is for investors and researchers interested in learning about the market potential in Oil Sands, Gas Shales, and Oil Shales.
