A World of Opportunity

摘要

There's a world of opportunity in unconventional resources. Literally. Basins around the world hold identified potential for unconventional resource development and a combination of exploration, assessment and evaluation seems certain to uncover other favorable plays. Earlier this year, Canada's National Energy Board (NEB) issued a report estimating the marketable natural gas potential of the lightly drilled Liard basin at 219 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), or about 6.2 trillion cubic meters. The majority of the Liard basin lies in British Columbia, but it extends northward into the Northwest Territories and the Yukon. The basin has natural gas production potential in both the Exshaw and Patry shales, the report said.
