(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) Oil Shale Market Size
Oil Shale Market Size Expected to Reach $5.9 Billion by 2030
PORTLAND, OREGON, UNITED STATES, April 5, 2023 /einpresswire.com / -- Oil shale is an organic-rich rock, which contains a solid mixture of organic chemical compounds known as kerosene. From these organic compounds, liquid hydrocarbons, such as shale oil, are produced. Oil shale is a substitute for conventional crude oil and is increasingly used, owing to its low cost of extraction. As per the 2016 estimate, the global deposits of the total world resources of oil shale are equivalent to 6.05 trillion barrels of oil. Industries utilize oil shale as a fuel for thermal power plants to drive steam turbines. In addition, oil shale serves in the production of specialty carbon fibers, carbon black, adsorbent carbons, resins, phenols, tanning agents, road bitumen, and soil additives. The growth in the use of oil shale across various industries drives the oil shale market . The global oil shale market size was valued at $2.8 billion in 2020, and the global oil shale market forecast projected to reach $5.9 billion by 2030, with the global Oil shale market forecast is expected at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2021 to 2030.

Impact Of Covid-19 On The Global Oil Shale Market
- The emergence of COVID-19 has coincided with a core oil market management dispute. That dispute mainly involves the market shares commanded by Saudi Arabia (the largest sovereign producer among the OPEC membership) and Russia which, along with Mexico and occasionally Norway, has cooperated with OPEC as“OPEC+”. Oil market management disputes inevitably result in lower prices, and so the global oil industry now finds itself reeling from the combined effects of OPEC+ disarray and ultra-low global demand caused by the pandemic. With all the calculation of the OPEC and OPEC+ issue, the global demand issue, and the oversupply scenario, the demand and price of oil shale is negatively impacted.
- U.S. shale oil & gas demand plummeted, prices collapsed, and bankruptcies were announced at exceptional rates due to the uncertainties in crude oil and natural gas prices, Break-Even (BE) prices for fracking operations, financial &technical constraints within the industry, global hydrocarbon demand development, political ®ulatory factors in the U.S., and environmental &societal sustainability, which in turn show the negative demand on oil shale market.
- U.S. shale industry registered net negative free cash flows of $300 billion, impaired more than $450 billion of invested capital, and saw more than 190 bankruptcies since 2010. However, there is a negative impact on the global oil shale market.
- The world began locking down its economies, which brought oil and gas prices historically low as demand crashed. This meant that investment in LNG production and export facilities became less attractive. With demand in freefall, U.S. producers began questioning their investment timescales for new LNG export projects. Final investment decisions have been delayed on seven U.S. LNG projects, representing around 14 billion cubic feet per day of potential capacity.
- The decline was widespread, with a record downfall in both OECD (-4.8%) and non-OECD (-3.9%) countries. The U.S. (the world's 2nd-largest energy producer), saw a decline of 5.3%, the largest decline in the world last year, and the largest domestic decline on record. Production of all fossil fuels, nuclear power, and biofuels declined.
- The price effects of the economic slowdown following the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to reductions in U.S. petroleum and natural gas reserves in 2020. Proved reserves of crude oil and lease condensate decreased by 9 billion barrels in 2020, a decline of 19%, and proved reserves of natural gas decreased by just over 22 trillion cubic feet (TCF), a decline of 4%.
