Abstract:
It is notable that over the past decade, proven reserves of natural gas have dramatically increased as higher prices and advances in technology have turned previously unrecoverable resources into major sources of domestic production. Moreover, the decline in crude oil reserves has significantly slowed over the past decade. Therefore, there would be an end to the conventional hydrocarbon resources sooner or later and, in the meantime, global natural gas consumption is projected to grow ۵۲% from about ۱۰۸ Tcf in ۲۰۰۹ to about ۱۶۳ Tcf in ۲۰۳۰, which is an annual increase of almost ۲%. In addition, since natural gas combustion produces less CO۲ than coal and other petroleum products, governments are encouraged to use it as an alternative to other fossil fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Shale gas accumulations, with a unique all in one nature, where all petroleum system elements reside in just one lithology, have become the focus of gas exploration strategies after recent successes in the Barnett Shale gas production. Meanwhile, significant advances in drilling and stimulation technologies have made gas shale attractive for development in many countries including Iran. The unconventional gas resources such as coal bed methane and gas trapped in shale are growing in importance. Such estimated reserves account for approximately ۱۸% of total proven gas reserves. Shale formations in particular offer enormous potential for future production. This study compares several shale gas resources in different areas and highlights the possible potential unconventional resources in Iran.
