Abstract The paper addresses the problem of the forecasting and possible development of gas production from unconventional plays in Poland. As authors underline the potential of Polish shale gas is quite similar to US shales. Due to geological conditions, stage of development, size and location in more urban areas some experts compare Polish shale plays to Marcellus even. Document stated that from geographical and infrastructural points of view one can identify five different directions for export of natural gas surplus from Poland. It is important to notice that currently none of those routes physically exists - it means, that at present there are no infrastructure (or access to such infrastructure) for exporting of the Polish natural gas.

Significance This drag on the economy stems mainly from the poor performance of the natural gas sector, as investment in new projects has been inadequate to compensate for the decline in output from mature fields. Impacts Natural gas might be a driver of growth, despite limited scope to increase oil production due to depleted reserves. Development of Algeria’s abundant reserves of shale gas may face strong local opposition. Increased gas production could facilitate progress on long-stalled plans to expand fertiliser and petrochemical industries.

Radon Gas

Summary Hydraulic fracturing has been applied as an effective method to increase gas production from shale formations; however, this method has also raised concerns about its adverse impacts on environment. For example, in the Marcellus shale formation, some measured radon-gas concentrations exceeded the safe standard. Therefore, it is important to quantitatively evaluate radon concentration from fractured wells. However, existing researches have not successfully conducted a systematic and predictive study on the relationship between shale gas production and radon concentration at the wellhead of a hydraulically fractured well. To address this issue and quantitatively determine the radon concentration, we present the mechanisms of radon-gas generation and releasing, and conducted numerical simulations on its transport process in the subsurface formation system. The concentration of radon in produced gas is related with the original sources where the natural gas is extracted. Radon, generated from the radium alpha decay process, is trapped in pore spaces before the reservoir development. With the fluid flowing through the subsurface network, released radon will move to surface with the produced streams such as natural gas and flowback water. Our study shows that the radon concentration at wellhead could be significant. Influential factors such as natural-fracture-network properties, formation petrophysical parameters, and fracture dimension are investigated with sensitivity studies through numerical simulations. Analysis results suggest that radon wellhead concentration is strongly related with production rate. Thus, careful production design and protection are necessary to reduce radon hazard regarding the public and environmental impact.

Contracting Model

This extended abstract analyses the combined disruptive effects of the shale gas boom, the global gas glut, and the worldwide economic crisis on international gas markets. These factors are considered in three major regions of the world: In the competitive and liquid US gas market, increased domestic shale gas production prompted a dramatic decline in US gas prices and ultimately eliminated virtually all demand for new supplies of imported LNG. In Europe, continuing liberalisation in the EU's natural gas end-user and wholesale markets, the growing liquidity of trading hubs across Europe, and the introduction of cheaper spot-gas have fundamentally changed the traditional oil-indexed gas and LNG contracting models. In Asia, changes in buyer sensitivities to supply security and the development of new sources of supply have prompted discounting against traditional oil-based benchmarks and an increase in short-term or more flexible LNG purchases. This extended abstract explores the combined effects of these developing trends in each major region together with the typical responses of buyers and sellers in each market. These effects and reactions introduce associated complexities in this changing-price environment. The authors also explore potential changes in the traditional gas and LNG contracting model and the evolution of related risk allocations, which contracting parties often rely on.

Exploration And Development

With the furthering of China’s all round reform, there will be greater economic growth and more urgent demands for energy. And the achievements of shale gas exploration and development in the United States provide a lot of lessons for domestic gas and oil exploration and development [Figure. 1]. However, the introduction of the matured foreign exploration and development technologies also suffers a great challenge. This paper aims to analyzing the problems in the exploration and development in China’s typical exploration areas and the measures that have been taken. Also, it sums up the emerging technologies and methods in the world, hoping to boost the future exploration and development of shale gas in China in a certain way.

Subject Potential for the development of shale gas in Colombia. Significance Colombia's gas demand has risen steadily over the past decade, but its natural gas production appears to have peaked, falling from 12.6 billion cubic metres (bcm) in 2013 to 11.8 bcm in 2014. The trend has continued this year. Gas production was down 7.3% year-on-year in March to 29.9 million cubic metres (mcm) per day, equivalent to an annual rate of less than 10 bcm. Impacts Given the economic and political uncertainties in Venezuela, Colombia cannot rely on Venezuelan gas imports. Electricity shortages will increase pressure on President Juan Manuel Santos and may lead to protests. Colombia could come to rely more on LNG imports as a stopgap measure while shale gas is developed.

Saudi Arabia is one of the largest non-FTI producers in the Russian Federation among the non-FTI exporters (OPEC). BL agodarya mirovym za pasam not FTI, one of the most important ones in the world, but the one with the most inquisitive in the field of energy from rasli, Saudi Arabia, is the largest exporter of oil. The data on oil reserves of the largest fields, including the largest in the world of the terikovoye non-oil field of Gavar are presented. Saudi Arabia occupies the fifth place in the world in the field of natural gas passes, with a volume of 294 trillion cubic feet, and the third place in the field of natural gas passes in the Far East.

The largest oil and gas companies represented in SaudiI Arawia are named, in particular: Saudi Aramco, Saudi Shell, Saudi Exxon Mobil, Saudi Chevron, Total, Eni, Sinopec, Sumitomo. It is shown that Saudi Ar amco is a non-state oil company of Saudi Arabia, the largest in the world in terms of oil production and oil reserves. The company also controls natural gas production in the country. Saudi Aramco is a national non-oil company Of the Saudi Aravia, which is responsible for non-oil and gas operations throughout the Kingdom. Recently, the main goal is to use unconventional gas sources, namely shale gas production. Currently, the company Saudi Aramco has more than 16 drilling rigs for the extraction of shale gas. By the end of 2020, the company is expected to extract 3 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day.
