Shale Gas Market Worth Over $67.02 Billion By 2020: Grand View Research, Inc.
The global shale gas market is expected to reach USD 67.02
billion by 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc.
Depleting conventional energy reserves across the globe has prompted the
industry to shift focus towards developing alternative energy sources which is
expected to remain a key driving factor for shale gas demand over the next six
years. In addition, regulatory support for developing unconventional gases
including shale gas is also expected to enhance commercialization over the
forecast period. However, environmental concern, especially excessive usage and
contamination of water during shale gas production process is expected to be a
key challenge for industry participants over the next six years.
Power generation emerged as the leading application
market for shale gas and accounted for 30.4% of total market volume in 2013.
Environmental concerns regarding power generation via conventional energy
coupled with regulatory support for development of unconventional energy
sourcesfor power generation is expected to remain a key driving factor over the
forecast period. However, transportation is expected to be the fastest growing
application market for shale gas at an estimated CAGR of 10.8% from 2014 to
2020. Growing demand for alternative fuels such as compressed natural gas (CNG)
and autogas (LPG) is expected to drive the demand for shale gas in
transportation industry over the next six years.

Further
key findings from the report suggest:
- The global shale gas production was 10,826.6
bcf in 2013 and is expected to reach 18,211.3 bcf by 2020, growing at a
CAGR of 8.3% from 2014 to 2020.
- U.S emerged as the leading shale gas producing
country and accounted for 91.8% of total market volume in 2013. The U.S.
shale boom has changed the overall energy scenario of the nation, prior to
shale gas development; the U.S. was a net importer of natural gas.
However, due to rapid exploration and production activities of shale gas,
U.S. for the first time in many years emerged as a net exporter of natural
gas in 2012. However, Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing
producer for shale gas at an estimated CAGR of 66.7% from 2015 to 2020.
The Chinese government has also been providing substantial support in form
of financial incentives and tax benefits to companies operating in shale
gas market in China which is expected to drive the market over the
forecast period.
- The global market for shale gas is highly
competitive in nature and is led by top multinational oil & gas
conglomerates which are present across the value chain. Conventional oil
& gas companies coupled with companies focusing only on alternative
energy forms the mix of the market. Shift in focus towards developing
shale gas basins in China is expected to remain a key strategy for the
market participants. Some of the leading companies in the global shale gas
market include Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Antero Resources, BHP
Billiton, Cabot Oil & Gas, Chesapeake Energy Corporation, Devon
Energy, Encana Corporation, Exxon Mobil Corporation, Reliance Industries
Limited, Royal Dutch Shell, SM Energy, Statoil, Talisman Energy Inc. and
Total SA among some other companies.
