Global shale oil industry overview

The rise in unconventional oil and gas resources will be one of the major factors driving the growth of the shale oil market size in the forthcoming years. Unconventional oil and gas resources refer to crude oil and natural gas found in shale formations and oil sands. Unconventional energy sources have received substantial impetus in the past decade. They were explored as the easily available crude oil in the formations which started depleting, resulting in rise in production of oil and gas from these unconventional sources, especially from the US and Canada.

The use of supercritical carbon dioxide in shale oil fracking is one of the most significant shale oil market trends. Shale oil formations require fracking of sedimentary rock to release natural gas to the well. Shale oil wells use freshwater and chemicals that can contaminate the groundwater. Non-aqueous fracking fluids like supercritical carbon dioxide have been successfully tested as a replacement for water. This technology reduces dependence on millions of gallons of water and solves the problem of neutralizing the toxic water produced. The use of supercritical carbon dioxide will lead to increased gas production while lowering the environmental impact. Shale oil market forecast predicts that fueled by these factors, the market will grow at a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period.
