2. BI Marketing Analyst input into report marketing Section 1: Front Page Lead Graphic and Quote Figure 2.2 Figure 16: Hydraulic fracturing capacity in 2013 (Horsepower), 2014 The number of rigs used onshore in Europe and the Asia pacific region increased by 10% during 2013 and the majority were for shale. Drilling for shale gas and oil will increase substantially across the world in coming years. PacWest Consulting Partners predicts that there will be worldwide take-off in hydraulic fracturing capacity. PacWest Consulting Partners estimate that global hydraulic fracturing capacity will grow to 28.3 million Horsepower by the end of 2016, an increase of 41% between 2012 and 2016. Currently, the US, Canada and China have the largest hydraulic fracturing capacity as can be seen from the Table 16.

3. BI Marketing Analyst input into report marketing Section 2: Introduction, market background and USPs The shale gas and oil revolution has transformed North America’s energy mix, revitalizing its energy-intensive industries, reducing imports of oil, and offering the prospect of natural gas exports both to Europe and the lucrative markets of the Far East. Currently, North America and Canada are the only major producers of commercially viable natural gas and oil from shale formations. The US shale revolution has resulted from a mix of technological, regulatory, environmental and market factors - that have ultimately allowed firms to produce shale gas profitably. Knowledge of the geology and composition of shale formations outside North America is sparse, requiring extensive study and widespread well-drilling. Furthermore, it is not clear how much of the identified shale resource is economically recoverable. The desire to emulate North America’s shale experience stems from three “must haves”. This report looks at a “Baker’s dozen” of the most promising shale gas prospective countries, which could be significant in the next decade.

7. BI Marketing Analyst input into report marketing Section 6: Key findings of this report 1.There is thought to be an estimated 32,162 trillion cubic feet of risked shale gas in-place and 6,636 trillion cubic feet of technically recoverable shale gas in the world trillion cubic feet. 2.The world’s country’s currently imports 705.5 billion cubic metres by pipeline and 327.9 billion cubic metres by LNG tanker. 3.According to BP, shale gas supplies are expected to meet 46% of the growth in gas demand and account for 21% of world gas production by 2035. 4.The cost of drilling horizontal shale gas well ranges from US$3.5-9m in the US compared with around US$4-5m for drilling a conventional well..

11. BI Marketing Analyst input into report marketing Section 10: Author biography and contact details Name: Nicholas Newman Biography: Nicholas is a well-established international energy journalist and broadcaster located in Oxford, England with a comprehensive contacts-book of leading energy industry professionals and academics to draw upon. He specialises in the following topics: oil and gas exploration and production together with power generation, including renewables and nuclear. Much of his energy writing is concerned with trends in policies, risks, exploration and production technologies as well as trading in energy resources. This includes, for instance in the gas sector, all aspects of current market policy, political and technological trends and developments that may affect the exploration, production, processing, and trading in coal, oil, natural gas, shale gas, CSG and LNG. As a freelance energy journalist he regularly contributes articles to leading energy magazines such as Petroleum Review, Energy World, Oil Review Africa, Oil Review Middle East, Exploration & Production, Cornerstone, Economist, and Power Engineering International.
