Estimated us shale oil reserves
A 2008 estimate set the total world resources of oil shale at 689 gigatons—equivalent to yield of 4.8 trillion barrels (760 billion cubic metres) of shale oil, with the largest reserves in the United States, which is thought to have 3.7 trillion barrels (590 billion cubic metres), though only a part of it is recoverable. Referring to US reserves, there are large uncertainties about the size of US shale oil resources with estimates ranging between 700 bb and 2.00 trillion barrels (tb). As of December 31, 2018, the United States had 17.3 billion barrels of crude oil proved reserves and 192.1 Tcf of natural gas proved reserves in nonproducing reservoirs. These volumes are an 8% increase for crude oil and a 15% increase for total natural gas in nonproducing reservoirs from the 2017 levels published in EIA’s previous report.[ 11 ] Ranking nations by the most likely estimate for existing fields, discoveries and as-of-yet undiscovered fields (proved, probable. possible and undiscovered), the United States is at the top of the list with 264 billion barrels of recoverable oil reserves, followed by Russia with 256 billion, Saudi Arabia with 212 billion, Canada with 167 billion, Iran with 143 billion, and Brazil with 120 billion (Table 1). And the findings are truly incredible. The USGS estimates that over 46 billion barrels of oil, 280 trillion cubic feet of gas, and 20 billion barrels of natural gas liquids are trapped in these low-permeability shale formations. Estimated U.S. oil shale reserves total an astonishing 1.5 trillion barrels of oil – or more than five times the stated reserves of Saudi Arabia. The INTEK shale resources report estimates shale gas and shale oil resources for the undeveloped portions of 20 shale plays that have been discovered (Table 1). Eight of those shale plays are subdivided into 2 or 3 areas, resulting in a total of 29 separate resource assessments.

Apr 21, 2017 gas across the world with estimates of more than 15000 trillion cubic feet In a report by U.S Energy Information Administration (EIA), Pakistan is listed among the top 10 countries of the world with the largest shale oil reserves. Pakistan also has a good potential of shale gas/oil production in the future. Oct 4, 2010 The US oil reserves are a pittance compared to our reserves of oil shale deposits. Estimates put oil shale reserves at 1.5 – 2.0 trillion barrels or The latest estimate of oil reserves under our westerly neighbor truly defies the imagination. Not to mention the U.S. government's official calculations. Jan 14, 2015 Projections by the US Energy Information Administration suggest that even under favourable conditions US shale oil production will peak by 2020 Mar 18, 2019 with the decline of conventional reserve volumes. Let us, briefly, describe what shale oil extraction is (shale gas is extracted in a After statistical analysis, we estimate the overall chance of further shale resource extraction.
