Asia Pacific Shale Gas Market Prospects to 2025- Demand Growth and Escalating Gas Import Costs Force Asian Countries Drive Shale Investments
http://www.reportlinker.com/p01360932/Asia-Pacific-Shale-Gas-Market-Prospects-to-2025--Demand-Growth-and-Escalating-Gas-Import-Costs-Force-Asian-Countries-Drive-Shale-Investments.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Oil_and_Gas_energy
The new Asia Pacific shale gas report from OGANALYSIS noted that soaring demand, rapidly escalating LNG prices are forcing countries to look for possibility of shale gas production. In particular, China and India are witnessing rapid rise in demand and accordingly are planning to realize shale production earlier than planned. Australia is also planning to exploit its shale reserves to supply feed gas for its planned liquefaction terminals.
Success of the US shale and ongoing activities in Europe are encouraging Asian players to develop policy and frameworks for shale gas development. While China is allowing foreign companies to participate in shale exploration, India is planning to launch first bids in 2013. Over 10 companies are actively perusing shale operations in Australia and Pakistan and Bangladesh are in plans of identifying their reserve potential.
The report analyzes the current status, potential and feasibility of shale development, ongoing activities, government stance and companies operating in each of the key Asian shale markets including Australia, china, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The research work also identifies the top trends of Asia Pacific shale market. Key drivers and challenges faced by countries along with feasibility of first commercial production are also discussed in detail. Further, the Asia Pacific shale gas report from OGANALYSIS discusses physical characteristics of major basins in each country along with their reservoir properties and resource characteristics. Further, shale formations and key plays in each basin are discussed in detail. Basin wise company information along with the current status of activities in permits awarded is analyzed. In addition, company wise shale activities are provided for leading ten companies.
Feasibility of shale development coupled with details of concessions awarded, drilling success rates and operations, strategies of over 15 companies is provided. Companies analyzed in the report include CNPC, Sinopec, Shaanxi Group, Beach Energy, Santos SA, Sensex Energy, DrillSearch, BG Group, Statoil, Falcon, AWE, New standard Energy, Icon Energy, Norwest Energy and ONGC. Recent shale gas developments along with their impact on companies/ markets/ alternative fuels are also provided.
