Outside of North America, is there hope for tight oil?

摘要

Last month, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that tight oil production in this country had reached an average 3.22 MMbpd by the end of 2013. This raised overall crude production to 7.84 MMbpd, or about 10% of total world production. Out of the U.S. total, over 40% is tight oil. This is what they mean by "disruptive" technology. Just nine years ago, there was barely a hint of the unconventional revolution to come.
