The shale gas market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $77.04 billion in 2023 to $88.27 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.6%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to energy security concerns, economic benefits, policy and regulatory support, and the global demand for energy.
The shale gas market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $142.53 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing global energy consumption, growing environmental concerns, infrastructure development, and market liberalization. Key trends expected in the forecast period include a focus on innovation and research, technological advancements, infrastructure investments, and international collaboration in the energy sector.
The shale gas market is experiencing substantial growth, propelled by the rapid advancements in exploration and drilling technologies. These technological strides are not only increasing production volumes but also reducing production costs significantly. Companies are leveraging innovations like 3D seismic technology to optimize exploration and drilling processes, enhancing natural gas production levels while minimizing costs associated with exploration, drilling, and refining. Other noteworthy technological advances, such as hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, are contributing to the overall expansion of the shale gas market. Thus, ongoing innovations in exploration and drilling technologies are expected to be key drivers for the shale gas market.
The growth of the shale gas market is further fueled by the global energy transition. This transition, signifying a fundamental shift in energy production, distribution, and consumption, positions shale gas as a transitional player toward cleaner energy sources. Shale gas contributes to energy security by offering a domestic or regional energy source, reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels susceptible to geopolitical and supply chain disruptions. The International Energy Agency reported a notable expansion of renewable energy capacity by over 13% in 2023, reaching nearly 340 GW, underscoring the role of shale gas in the ongoing global energy transition.
Modular production systems are gaining popularity in the gas industry due to their cost-effectiveness, rapid extraction capabilities, and profitability compared to conventional methods. These integrated field facilities, incorporating prefabricated equipment, piping, and instrumentation, expedite gas processing applications. Companies like PROPAK and SIIRTEC NIGI are notable for their contributions to modular systems in gas processing. Honeywell UOP highlights that modular systems can be operational within approximately 10 months, a significant reduction compared to the 21 months required for conventional stick-built wells. The adoption of modular systems underscores their ability to streamline project timelines, enhance fabrication efficiency, and improve safety standards.
Major players in the shale gas market are actively innovating, introducing new technological products such as electric grid-powered fracturing operations to enhance profitability. Electric grid-powered fracturing operations involve utilizing electricity from the public power grid to power hydraulic fracturing activities, presenting potential environmental benefits by reducing noise and local air pollution. In 2021, Halliburton successfully deployed the industry's first electric grid-powered fracturing operation, replacing traditional methods reliant on diesel generators or natural gas engines. This shift aligns with the industry's commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.
