  • Unconventional Gas and Oil in North America Page 1 of 24
    Unconventional gas and oil in North America This publication aims to provide insight into the impacts of the North American 'shale revolution' on US energy markets and global energy flows. The main economic, environmental and climate impacts are highlighted. Although the North American experience can serve as a model for shale gas and tight oil development elsewhere, the document does not explicitly address the potential of other regions.

Economic impacts This new supply of energy has led to falling gas prices and a reduction of energy imports. Low gas prices have benefitted households and industry, especially steel production, fertilisers, plastics and basic petrochemicals. The production of tight oil is costly, so that a high oil price is required to make it economically viable.

  • Unconventional Oil Resources Exploitation: a Review
    Acta Montanistica Slovaca Volume 21 (2016), number 3, 247-257 Unconventional oil resources exploitation: A review Šárka Vilamová 1, Marian Piecha 2 and Zden ěk Pavelek 3 Unconventional crude oil sources are geographically extensive and include the tar sands of the Province of Alberta in Canada, the heavy oil belt of the Orinoco region of Venezuela and the oil shales of the United States, Brazil, India and Malagasy. High production costs and low oil prices have hitherto inhibited the inclusion of unconventional oil resources in the world oil resource figures. In the last decade, developing production technologies, coupled with the higher market value of oil, convert large quantities of unconventional oil into an effective resource. From the aspect of quantity and technological and economic recoverability are actually the most important tar sands. Tar sands can be recovered via surface mining or in-situ collection techniques. This is an up-stream part of exploitation process. Again, this is more expensive than lifting conventional petroleum, but for example, Canada's Athabasca (Alberta) Tar Sands is one example of unconventional reserve that can be economically recoverable with the largest surface mining machinery on the waste landscape with important local but also global environmental impacts. The similar technology of up-stream process concerns oil shales. The downstream part process of solid unconventional oil is an energetically difficult process of separation and refining with important increasing of additive carbon production and increasing of final product costs. In the region of Central Europe is estimated the mean volume of 168 million barrels of technically recoverable oil and natural gas liquids situated in Ordovician and Silurian age shales in the Polish- Ukrainian Foredeep basin of Poland.

  • Oil and Gas Technologies Supplemental Information
    Quadrennial Technology Review 2015 Chapter 7: Advancing Systems and Technologies to Produce Cleaner Fuels Supplemental Information Oil and Gas Technologies Subsurface Science, Technology, and Engineering U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Quadrennial Technology Review 2015 Oil and Gas Technologies Chapter 7: Advancing Systems and Technologies to Produce Cleaner Fuels Oil and Gas in the Energy Economy of the United States Fossil fuel resources account for 82% of total U.S. primary energy use because they are abundant, have a relatively low cost of production, and have a high energy density—enabling easy transport and storage. The infrastructure built over decades to supply fossil fuels is the world’s largest enterprise with the largest market capitalization. Of fossil fuels, oil and natural gas make up 63% of energy usage.1 Across the energy economy, the source and mix of fuels used across these sectors is changing, particularly the rapid increase in natural gas production from unconventional resources for electricity generation and the rapid increase in domestic production of shale oil. While oil and gas fuels are essential for the United States’ and the global economy, they also pose challenges: Economic: They must be delivered to users and the markets at competitive prices that encourage economic growth. High fuel prices and/or price volatility can impede this progress. Security: They must be available to the nation in a reliable, continuous way that supports national security and economic needs. Disruption of international fuel supply lines presents a serious geopolitical risk. Environment: They must be supplied and used in ways that have minimal environmental impacts on local, national, and global ecosystems and enables their sustainability.

  • Status of Unconventional Oil and Gas Development in Pennsylvania
    STATUS OF UNCONVENTIONAL OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT IN PENNSYLVANIA Pennsylvania is several years into unconventional oil and gas development – the early years of what some are calling a multi-decade shale energy boom. The regulatory environment is shifting, laws are being updated, and media and public attention are high. The issues related to accessing this resource have become politically and emotionally charged, with a significant amount of misinformation in the marketplace. While shale gas development presents a unique economic and energy opportunity for Pennsylvania and its surrounding states, development of these resources also presents substantial challenges for our region in the areas of water resources management, air quality, infrastructure maintenance, housing, and community quality of life, along with other environmental and public health impacts. The Marcellus Shale is the most well-known and actively producing formation in the northeastern United States. It underlies a 95,000-square-mile tract from West Virginia through Pennsylvania and into southern New York and includes sections of Ohio, Virginia, and Maryland. The Marcellus Shale ranges from a depth of zero feet in central Pennsylvania to more than 9,000 feet below the surface in parts of southwestern and northeastern Pennsylvania.1 It ranges in thickness from about 250 feet in eastern Pennsylvania to only a few feet thick in Ohio and is typically about 50 feet thick along the Ohio River.2 As Table 1 demonstrates, the Marcellus Shale is the largest shale gas play in the United States and is conservatively estimated to contain approximately 84.2 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of technically recoverable natural gas.

This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmelpr REGULATORY OBSOLESCENCE THROUGH TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE IN OIL AND GAS EXTRACTION TIMOTHY FITZGERALD* ABSTRACT Extraction of oil and gas from unconventional resources, recently enabled by technological innovations, revolutionized national and global markets. However, exploration and production still proceed under legacy regulations, mostly promulgated at the state level. The mismatch of modern production realities and historic regulatory structures creates opportuni- ties for reducing conflicts that diminish economic value. This Article identifies regulations that originated under conventional extraction, and often enhance productivity in that setting, but create waste when applied to unconventional resources. Then, it identifies contractual solutions that have evolved as resource owners and extraction firms have adapted to new technologies. Contractual innovations help inform directions for regulatory reform. INTRODUCTION The resurgence of U.S. oil and natural gas production pivoted on exploitation of “unconventional” resources once considered subeconomic, but rendered profitable by transformative technological advances.1 Expanded * Texas Tech University, [email protected].
