US shale oil will surge to nearly 7 million barrels a day in April: Dept. of Energy forecast Shale oil extraction methods are more flexible than traditional oil well drilling. The initial drilling only accounts for 40% of the total cost. Extracting the oil costs roughly $1 million for each well. That made shale oil extraction profitable when oil reached $100 a barrel. It is believed that the shale deposits in the Green River region of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming are holding the equivalent of approximately 1.5 trillion to 1.8 trillion barrels of oil. Using an estimated 11,728 wells to be completed this year, we have US shale oil growing ~424k b/d y-o-y. Source: EIA, HFI Research So while the overall figure remains in the positive, all of the In 2019 US shale oil production added on average 140,000 barrels a day (b/d) over 2018 according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Global technically recoverable oil shale reserves have recently been estimated at about 2.8 to 3.3 trillion barrels (450 × 10 ^ 9 to 520 × 10 ^ 9 m 3) of shale oil, with the largest reserves in the United States, which is thought to have 1.5–2.6 trillion barrels (240 × 10 ^ 9 –410 × 10 ^ 9 m 3).

does, it would revolutionise global energy energy independence for many countries resources in the US have been revised upwards EIA US technically recoverable shale oil assessments by basin made between 2005 and 2010. Sep 21, 2018 One open question is: How much shale oil does a company need to produce to be profitable?

Jul 7, 2016 That means that we have the largest oil reserves in the world – and it's all large shale reserves, making the US one of the most energy secure So much for the “ Peak Oil” theory that US oil production would soon enter Mar 8, 2017 Most companies are old enough that they have unproduced reserves and How much does it cost to produce a barrell of oil from Oil Shale in
Although US shale oil has become more economical to produce — costs have halved over the past two years to below $40 a barrel in some instances — Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern
