US dominates the global shale gas market

The shale gas industry has seen significant growth in the North American market changing the dynamics of natural gas trading in the region. The combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to extract gas from low permeability rock sources has presented a major new energy source, which has significantly reduced the need for natural gas imports to the US. Nations across the world are now looking at the possibility of tapping into this resource to supplement domestic gas consumption or even for export. As a consequence, the value of the global shale gas market in 2012 will reach $36.95 bn.

The shale gas market is currently dominated by the US as this is where the methodology to develop shale was pioneered. The US also a number of favourable characteristics that have helped promote the speed of shale gas production. However, this has created a distinctly two tier market between the nations with an established shale gas market and those that are emerging into the industry.

According to geologists there are 142 shale rock bearing basins around the world and only around a quarter of these have proven production potential, mainly in North America. This report will highlight the growing investment in the shale gas industry around the world as energy hungry nations look to emulate the successes seen in North America.

The report contains 71 tables, charts and graphs that add visual analysis in order to explain developing trends within the shale gas market. The research provides forecasts for the period 2012-2022 in terms of capital expenditure (US$) on the global shale gas market. In addition, eight national shale gas markets are forecast and analysed over the period 2012-2022, along with countries in the rest of Europe and the rest of the world. The report also provides profiles of 40 leading companies operating within the market, and includes two exclusive interviews with experts from principal companies working in the shale gas market, providing key insight alongside analysis.

Methodology

This report has been compiled by combining information obtained from a very wide and rich mixture of primary and secondary research sources, producing a broad industry overview. Visiongain sought opinions from leading figures in the shale gas market to underpin the analysis of market drivers and restraints. The study draws on a diverse range of official corporate and governmental announcements, media reports, policy documents, industry statements and expert opinion as a basis for discussing and predicting developments in the shale gas market between 2012 and 2022.

Leading Companies in the Shale Gas Market -
The companies operating in the shale gas market include major international oil and gas companies, NOCs, independents and oil field service companies. In this chapter the focus is on the companies directly investing in shale gas. There is a considerable weighting towards North American companies as this is where shale gas technology was pioneered and has seen by far the most activity. This section therefore outlines the major companies working in the different shale gas markets in the world and is not necessarily a direct depiction of the largest companies or investors in the market.

Anadarko Petroleum Corporation
HQ: The Woodlands, Texas, USA

Anadarko is one of the largest independent oil and gas exploration and production companies in the world. The company's operations are focused both on and offshore oil and gas in the US, as well as China, Algeria, Brazil, Indonesia, New Zealand and West Africa. Its shale gas operations are entirely focused in the US with interests the Marcellus, Haynesville, Eagle Ford and Utica shale plays.

The low gas price in the US has deflected Anadarko's capital expenditure budget to higher margin projects. Large amounts are however still being spent on development of shales with a high natural gas liquid content such as the Eagle Ford, Marcellus and increasingly the Utica Shale.

Antero Resources
HQ: Denver, Colorado, USA

Antero Resources is an independent US based exploration and production company, with a focus on unconventional resources. The company has shale gas assets in the Marcellus, Woodford and Fayetteville shale plays, where the company holds a net acreage of nearly 300,000. Antero is also operating on unconventional oil and NGLs in the Piceance Basin.

The majority of Antero's operations are carried out in the Marcellus shale where almost 80% of the company's capital expenditure is expected to be invested in 2012. The company holds 227,000 acres in the core areas of the play which have shown strong NGL production potential.
