Predicted Shale Oil Impacts on Global Markets


A projected eight million barrels of liquid natural gas and oil were added from tight plays in North America between years 2010 and 2020. Obviously, there are numerous global implications across the fields of academia, environmental advocacy, and oil advocacy. In general, the consensus from different groups is that oil prices will gradually decline due to domestic shale mining, and more information from ongoing research and development initiatives will simultaneously mitigate concerns about safety and environmental impact. Where the U.S. Is Today Currently, the tight liquids production rate in North America is approaching and passing 4 million barrels per day, including liquid natural gas. Approximately 50 percent of growth is currently attributed to Eagle Ford, and other notable growth is shared between Bakken and Permian Midland. North Dakota Bakken oil production may exceed expectations later this year depending on weather conditions. Shale Oil Could Be Exactly What the Global Econ

New Opportunities for Midstream Businesses


Ongoing R&D for Shale Mining Byproducts May Open New Opportunities for Midstream Businesses The School of Mines and Technology was granted $464,000 to learn more about how Pierre Shale responds under different circumstances and how it changes over time. The end goal is to better understand how shale behaves to perfect mining practices, primarily in the in the upstream and midstream sectors. Ongoing research and development is intended to help pinpoint how useful byproducts can be captured, stored, and shipped. Potential Areas of Interest in the Future of Shale Mining A few specific areas of interest include hydraulic fracturing, fuel and waste disposal methods, carbon dioxide sequestration, and underground storage of hydrocarbons in existing shale caverns. Shale is currently one of the choice materials used to store products because it does not allow products to easily escape. Could Gas From North Dakota Flaring Off Eventually Be Shipped? There are many questions that will not be answ
