Global Shale Oil Study 2012
Description:
Shale-oil plays development is in its infancy but operators worldwide are attracted by the economics and ready to apply the lessons learned from North America.
Shale oil could be the answer to oil supplies pressures and to energy security issues many nations are facing. As international oil companies (IOCs), national oil companies (NOCs) and independents are investigating the potential of deposits across the globe, Hart Energy has gathered and analyzed the keys to prospectivity of over 85 non-North American plays. Drilling activity in most regions is still in the earliest phase of exploration.
Key Benefits

85 non-North American oil shales identified in this study
Drawing on a proprietary database and extensive research (gathered in multiple languages to avoid English-only limitations), the Global Shale Oil Study has found potential for commercial shale-oil production across the globe. The study analyzes the lessons learned from North America and examines shales in Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (China, India, Pakistan, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, Australia and New Zealand), Africa and Russia/CIS.
It analyzes shale resources from both technological and commercial perspectives, providing such details as:
- Total basin area
- Prospective area
- Net Org-Rich Thickness
- Depth
- TOC%
- Thermal maturity
- Era/period analysis of each formation
