ShaleTech: International shale resource assessment goes on, but discoveries remain elusive
Around the world, shale assessments are underway in an attempt to emulate the success of shale gas and liquids production in North America. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) issued a report in April 2011 that discusses 48 shale gas basins in 32 countries (not including the U.S.), which contain about 70 shale gas formations. Initial estimates of technically recoverable shale gas resources in these countries examined is 5,760 Tcf.
