DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dxvbdk/global_market_for) has announced the addition of the "Global Market for Gas Shales, Oil Sands, and Oil Shales" report to their offering.
The market for unconventional fuels is growing at a rapid pace. Some of the most common unconventional source of fuel includes gas shales, oil sands, and oil shales.
Taiyou Research presents an analysis of all these three fuel sources together in its report Global Market for Gas Shales, Oil Sands, and Oil Sands.
Shale gas is actually just natural gas produced from shale. Shale gas has become an important source of natural gas in the last couple of years across the world, as the potential of shale gas is huge. The United States, Canada, Europe, and even across Asia and Australia, governments and companies are exploiting the potential of shale gas and it is expected that in the coming years, shale gas is going to expand the overall energy supply in the world.
Oil sands, commonly known as tar sands or bituminous sands, are being hailed as a type of unconventional deposit of petroleum. The oil sands are made up of a mixture of clay, sand, water, and a viscous form of petroleum, commonly known as bitumen. Canada and Venezuela are the biggest markets for oil sands in the world.
Meanwhile, oil shale contains a large amount of kerogen, which is a solid mixture of organic chemical compounds, and is used to extract liquid hydrocarbons from. Since kerogen needs to be processed more than crude oil, the cost of oil shales is higher as well as its environmental impact.
