Unconventional Resources
Better reservoir knowledge and increasingly sophisticated technologies make the production of unconventional resources economically viable and more efficient. This efficiency is bringing shale reservoirs, tight gas and oil, and coalbed methane into the reach of more companies around the world.
Organically rich gas shale and liquid reservoirs, once ignored by operators seeking easier plays and faster returns on investments, are boosting US natural gas and liquid reserves.
Tight gas and oil reservoirs require advanced techniques to enable reduction of the migration-distances from formation to well.
An abundant and environmentally acceptable energy source, coalbed methane (CBM) is now becoming easier to produce thanks to improved finding and transporting mechanisms.
Seismic surveys suggest gas hydrate accumulations are abundant in offshore areas around the world and prevalent under permafrost in some arctic regions.
