A 2008 estimate set the total world resources of oil shale at 689 gigatons—equivalent to yield of 4.8 trillion barrels (760 billion cubic metres) of shale oil, with the largest reserves in the United States, which is thought to have 3.7 trillion barrels (590 billion cubic metres), though only a part of it is recoverable. US Shale Oil Reserves The Bakken Field in North Dakota and Montana is the largest producing shale oil reserve. The field has layers of dense, oil-bearing rock about two miles underground. The underestimation of the U.S. shale gas business is just as huge as it is for oil. Today, we are producing ~87 Bcf/d, which is a whopping 30% higher than the 67 Bcf/d EIA projected that we would now be producing back in 2012. Forecasts go higher stunningly fast. America’s oil shale reserves are enormous, totaling at least 1.5 trillion barrels of oil. reserves of Saudi Arabia! And yet, no one is producing commercial quantities of oil from these vast deposits. All that oil is still sitting right where God left it, buried under the vast landscapes of Colorado and Wyoming. Oil explorers in the U.S. state of Texas say they’ve discovered the largest deposit of shale oil in a region known as the Permian Basin. The so-called Wolfcamp formation, explorers believe How much shale (tight) oil is produced in the United States? The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that in 2019, about 2.81 billion barrels (or 7.7 million barrels per day) of crude oil were produced directly from tight oil resources in the United States. This was equal to about 63% of total U.S. crude oil production in 2019.

“We also note that production has not been fully replaced by increased reserves in some US shale plays, including Eagle Ford in Texas and Utica in Ohio,” says In 1912, the President, by Executive Order, established the Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves. This office has overseen the U.S. strategic interests in oil 11 Nov 2019 U.S. shale oil production has shown signs of moderation in recent months, but experts told CNBC that the revolution may not stop soon. 29 Sep 2019 The U.S. shale boom is slowing, as technology advances that helped unlock U.S. production gains from onshore oil-drilling rigs are declining fast, federal according to a September report by the Dallas Federal Reserve.

Shale Gas (Billion Cubic Feet) Notes: W -- Individual state volumes are withheld to avoid disclosure of operator-level reserves data, due to statistical precision requirements, or due to other data quality reasons. The individual state volumes are included in the U.S. Total volume. See Definitions, Sources, and Notes link above for more The USGS estimates that over 46 billion barrels of oil, 280 trillion cubic feet of gas, and 20 billion barrels of natural gas liquids are trapped in these low-permeability shale formations. Proven oil reserves in the United States were 43.8 billion barrels of crude oil as of the end of 2018, excluding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The 2018 reserves represent the largest US proven reserves since 1972. The Energy Information Administration estimates US undiscovered, technically recoverable oil resources to be an additional 198 billion barrels. U.S. HAS MASSIVE OIL RESERVES. SHALE REMAINS UNTAPPED AFTER DECADES OF FAILURE . By Christopher J. Petherick. There is an estimated 2 trillion barrels of oil buried beneath parts of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.
