Global Oil Shale Market to Reach US$7.4 bn by 2022 due to Rapid Industrialization


Transparency Market Research has published a comprehensive research report that discusses the operational functionalities of the global oil shale market. This research report, titled “Oil Shale Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2014 - 2022,” offers an in-depth understanding of the key elements influencing the global oil and shale market. The report uses SWOT analysis to shed light on the strengths, the weaknesses, the opportunities, and the threats, along with using a Porter’s five forces analysis for identifying the threat of new entrants, the threat of substitute products or services, the bargaining power of customers, the bargaining power of suppliers, and the intensity of competitive rivalry.

According to the research report, the global oil shale market was valued at US$1.1 bn in 2013 and is expected to reach US$7.4 bn by 2022, registering an impressive CAGR of 27.34% from 2014 to 2022. The research report also states that the revenue from electricity and upgraded and non-upgraded products of the global oil shale market stood at close to US$2.1 bn in 2013 and is expected to reach US$11.9 bn by 2022, rising at a whopping CAGR of 23.4% from 2014 to 2022.

The unstoppable industrialization and surge in the global population have led to a huge demand for fossil fuels. This has boosted the demand for oil shale, which has high kerogen levels and hence holds a huge potential to satiate the demand for energy in the coming years. The growing usage of oil shale for the production of electricity and shale oil is helping nations across the globe secure their energy mix. Furthermore, exploration, extraction, and other activities related to oil shale have also created several employment opportunities, thereby helping the economy and the society.

The global oil shale market has been segmented on the basis of process, application, and region. On the basis of process, the global oil shale market is segmented into in-situ and ex-situ. On the basis of application, this market is segmented into upgraded, non-upgraded, and electricity. Geographically, this market is segmented into Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America.


Currently, China is leading the production of shale oil from oil shale. This is attributable to a large number of Fushun retorts that are engaged in processing oil shale to produce shale oil. Analysts predict that Australia is also likely to start production of shale oil, which will augment the overall production in the Asia Pacific region.

Some of the top players in the global oil shale market are Eesti Energia AS, BNK Petroleum Inc., Red Leaf Resources Inc., Fushun Mining Group Co., Ltd., Jordan Oil Shale Company B.V., Chevron Corporation, Questerre Energy Corporation, Viru Keemia Grupp Queensland Energy Resources Ltd, ExxonMobil Corporation, and Global Oil Shale Group Limited. The research report offers an insight into the competitive landscape of the global oil shale market by analyzing the financial overview, research and development activities, business and marketing strategies, strategic mergers and acquisitions, and product portfolio of the top players.

Oil Shale Market Analysis And Forecast 2014 - 2022

The global oil shale market revenue stood at USD 1,134.60 million in 2013 and is projected to reach USD 7,400.70 million by 2020, expanding at a CAGR of 27.34% between 2014 and 2022.

The report also provides both revenue and volume for the application segments. According to the report, the global oil shale market revenue (for electricity, upgraded and non-upgraded products) stood at USD 2,086.61 million in 2013 and is projected to reach USD 11,880.99 million by 2022, expanding at a CAGR of 23.4% between 2014 and 2022.

The report segments the global oil shale market on the basis of both process and application. In terms of process, the market is divided into ex-situ and in-situ segments. The revenue realization for process is done by multiplying the shale oil produced with forecasted crude oil prices. However, the actual revenue realization occurs through the sale of upgraded and non-upgraded products, which are provided under the application segmentation of the report.

The in-situ retorting technologies can further be classified into true in-situ and modified in-situ retorting technologies. In true in-situ method, post fracturing the oil shale rocks are subjected to high temperatures (a hot gas mixture is used to heat oil shale) to achieve the temperature suitable to cause pyrolysis (600 to 800 degree Fahrenheit). Modified in-situ retorting was first developed by Occidental Petroleum and involves fracturing of the oil shale deposit to create voids. The voids created through fracturing enable better movement of gases, thereby improving the volume and quality of shale oil released. Red Leaf Resources is expected to achieve breakthrough by developing a commercial demonstration plant during the forecast period through its hybrid EcoShale In-Capsule technology.


The application segments provides the revenues after the sale of electricity produced from the oil shale and the non-upgraded and upgraded products obtained after retorting. Estonia is one of the major producers of electricity from oil shale. The Eesti and Balti oil shale fired power plants generate a major portion of the total electricity produced by the country. Apart from Estonia, oil shale power plants are also scheduled to commence operations in Jordan and China.

Currently, most of the shale oil produced is directly sold without refining for the heating and bunkering applications. However, with the rising demand for transportation fuel and advancements in retorting technologies we can expect a significant growth in the upgraded segment as well.

Key participants in the global shale oil market include Viru Keemia Grupp AS, PetrĂ³leo Brasileiro S.A., Exxon Mobil Corporation, Global Oil Shale Group Limited, Queensland Energy Resources Ltd, Questerre Energy Corporation, Jordan Oil Shale Company B.V., Fushun Mining Group Co., Ltd, Chevron Corporation, BNK Petroleum Inc., Eesti Energia AS, and Red Leaf Resources, Inc. The company profiles cover major market players in the oil shale market. The report provides an overview of these companies, followed by their financial revenues (on availability), business strategies, and recent developments.

The research study analyzes and estimates the market size in terms of market revenue (USD Million) and market volume (Million Barrels). The research covers a comprehensive analysis of key players operating in the oil shale market.
