Press Release

Oil Shale Market is expected to grow at a robust CAGR

Oil Shale Market is expected to grow owing to the depletion of non-renewable energy sources and the fluctuating cost of fuel throughout the forecast period.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “Oil Shale Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast 2018-2028”, the Global Oil Shale Market is expected to register robust growth during the forecast period. Consumer attitudes are shifting in favor of oil shale due to the upward trend in crude oil prices and the numerous advantages it offers over conventional energy sources. The market is also influenced by the surge in car sales resulting from increasing income levels and urbanization. Furthermore, the demand for shale oil is being propelled by the growing energy consumption and the construction of new power plants, thereby driving market expansion. Shale oil can be utilized as a boiler fuel in furnaces to produce steam for electricity generation. Additionally, the industry is experiencing a significant increase in demand for cement and other products, owing to the extensive growth in construction development worldwide.

Incorporating sustainable practices in oil shale projects can significantly enhance their social license to operate. Companies that prioritize environmental protection, community engagement, and responsible land reclamation can position themselves as industry leaders in sustainable resource development.

Moreover, the potential of oil shale resources extends beyond conventional oil and gas production. Through the exploration of innovative processes and technologies, companies can unlock additional value from oil shale, including the production of specialty chemicals, polymers, and fertilizers derived from by-products.

Based on product, Shale Gasoline segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. Shale gasoline, also known as shale oil, is a liquid hydrocarbon resource found in shale rock formations. It primarily consists of kerogen, a solid organic material that, upon heating, undergoes transformation into liquid hydrocarbons like crude oil and natural gas. The extraction of shale gasoline involves advanced drilling and fracturing techniques. The development of drilling technology and horizontal drilling methods has made shale gasoline extraction economically feasible. Consequently, exploration and production activities have seen a surge. Shale gasoline offers countries an opportunity to achieve energy independence by utilizing domestic resources, reducing dependence on foreign oil, and enhancing energy security. Furthermore, shale gasoline exploration can expand to regions with untapped shale resources, potentially unlocking new reserves and providing economic opportunities. Moreover, shale gasoline production can stimulate economic growth by generating employment, increasing tax revenue, and supporting industries associated with oil and gas extraction.

Based on technology, In-Situ Technology segment is projected to dominate the market throughout the forecast period. In-situ technology encompasses a variety of techniques devised to extract hydrocarbons from oil shale formations without resorting to conventional surface mining. Instead, these methods involve heating subterranean oil shale deposits to liberate hydrocarbons, which can then be gathered and processed. In-situ technology encompasses methodologies such as in-situ retorting, thermal recovery, and electro-thermal heating. Compared to surface mining, in-situ technologies have a reduced environmental impact by minimizing surface disruption, habitat disturbance, and soil erosion. This aligns with the industry's objective of addressing environmental concerns and complying with regulatory requirements. Some in-situ approaches are more water-efficient than traditional mining and retorting processes, making them more sustainable in water-scarce regions. Thermal recovery methods, such as underground combustion, inject heated air or gases into the oil shale deposit, raising the temperature to facilitate the release and recovery of hydrocarbons. Continued research and development in in-situ technology can lead to more efficient and environmentally-friendly extraction techniques. Innovations like carbon capture and storage (CCS) can help mitigate environmental implications. Additionally, in-situ methods enable the extraction of hydrocarbons from unconventional and lower-quality oil shale deposits, thereby expanding the resource base and reducing the need for surface mining.
