The global outlook for shale oil and gas production indicates a positive trend, with notable increases in production expected from top countries over the next few years, including the US, which accounts for over 80% of the global output. The growth is anticipated to be largely driven by the sustained rise in oil and gas demand from sectors such as transportation and power generation. Although the shale boom has somewhat receded in the US, optimism around this unconventional resource remains, driven by technological advancements and significant discoveries in countries such as China, Argentina, and Saudi Arabia. This study highlights the developments in such emerging markets for shale plays.
