Description

United States of America (USA) Lower 48 Unconventional Oil and Gas (Major Shale Plays) Market Analysis, Trends, Competitive Benchmarking, Deals and Forecast, 2021-2026

Summary

Oil and gas shale plays across United States L48 play a vital role in the economy of the country as nearly three-fourths of the current US crude production is obtained from the shale plays in the Lower 48 (L48) region. Permian Basin, DJ Basin, Eagle Ford, and Bakken are the major oil shale plays in the US, while Haynesville, Marcellus, Utica, and Scoop Stack are major gas shale plays.

The US crude oil production has been on an upward trend in 2022 amid a strong recovery in global energy demand from the COVID-19 pandemic. The OPEC+ group had also considerably reduced its crude output to alleviate the global oversupply situation and lift prices. This encouraged US operators to expand their drilling activities and thus, oil and gas output. Many oil and gas producers in the US shale plays have increased their capital allocation for 2022, attributing to improving market conditions.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
