NRG Expert Global Oil Reserves & Shale Oil Report Ed 1 2012 Table of Contents

This NRG Expert Global Oil Reserves and Shale Oil market research report provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of the global shale oil market. It looks at global oil and gas reserves, oil supply and demand, unconventional and frontier oil and gas reserves. It also reviews the economics, the environment and the major shale oil countries. As high oil prices make expensive shale oil projects more attractive, the report outlines the unconventional and frontier gas and oil reserves and their impact on the shale oil market. The report includes a thorough gas and oil analysis, gas and shale oil forecasts, gas and oil data, oil prices and shale oil supplies by country and more…
