NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Unconventional Natural Gas Extraction: Technologies and Global Markets -- Focus on Asia

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0969866/Unconventional-Natural-Gas-Extraction-Technologies-and-Global-Markets----Focus-on-Asia.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Oil_and_Gas_energy

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS

-The global market for unconventional natural gas extraction technologies was valued at nearly $61.2 billion in 2010 and nearly $61.6 billion in 2011. The market should reach $91.3 billion in 2016 after increasing at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%.-Asia/Australia was valued at $5.5 billion in 2011 and should reach nearly $19 billion in 2016, a CAGR of 28.1%.-The Asian/Australian vertical and directional drilling market was valued at $371 million in 2011 and should reach $890 million in 2016, a CAGR of 19.1%.

REPORT SCOPE

STUDY GOAL AND OBJECTIVES

This study provides a review of the global markets for unconventional natural gas production technologies at a regional level, with additional breakdowns for select relevant national-level markets. It seeks to quantify unconventional natural gas technologies markets based on available data and anticipated trends in global and regional market development for the considered unconventional natural gas extraction technologies.

REASONS FOR COMPLETING THIS STUDY

BCC's goal in conducting this study is to assess and describe the current status of the global unconventional natural gas-extraction technologies, as well as to assess the potential growth of this industry. More specifically, the study has the following objectives:

-To summarize existing unconventional natural gas extraction technologies and promising technologies under development.

-To evaluate the existing unconventional natural gas industry, with a focus on producers of each major viable technology.

-To assess market potential for unconventional natural gas extraction technologies over a five-year period from 2011 through 2016.

-To provide regional market breakdowns with select sub-regional breakdowns for countries with promising unconventional natural gas resources.

CONTRIBUTORS TO AND USE OF THIS STUDY North America SCOPE AND FORMAT OF THIS REPORT

-Vertical and directional drilling.

-Horizontal drilling.

-Hydrofracture equipment.

-Hydrofracture chemicals.

-Well completion and operation equipment.

Markets considered are shown in the following table. BCC analyzes each technology, determines its current market status, examines its impact on future markets and presents forecasts of growth over the ensuing five years. Technological issues including the latest trends are assessed and discussed, as is the current and likely ongoing regulatory environment in support of this industry.

BCC analyzes anticipated market values in light of regional and global markets for unconventional natural gas. This report examines government roles with respect to unconventional natural gas production, including regulatory requirements, support and incentives. It provides a review of the most relevant extraction technologies, discusses recent trends in well development and regional drilling and provides overviews and market assessments for each technology.

GLOBAL MARKETS METHODOLOGY

BCC's research of present and historic market trends was conducted primarily via phone interviews and Internet research, relying on personal interviews and available governmental data. Internal company data and annual documentation of sales relevant to a particular unconventional natural gas technology were also reviewed to prepare market assessments. Based on the results of these surveys and research, BCC analyzed the potential applications for each technology and forecast remaining 2011 sales and sales through 2016.

Market sizes and installed capacity figures were calculated based upon data obtained from surveyed parties. Additionally, when available, the data provided in this report were compared with other industry data to ensure relevance, applicability and accuracy.
