Abstract

Unaprijeđenje tehnologije horizontalnog bušenja i hidrauličkog frakturiranja tijekom posljednjeg desetljeća predstavlja ključ razvoja američke proizvodnje nafte i plina iz šejlova. Porast cijene nafte od 2009. do 2014. godine, djelovao je poticajno na američku proizvodnju uzrokujući njen eksponencionalan rast. Nekonvencionalne zalihe ugljikovodika postale su izrazito konkurentne na globalnom energetskom tržištu, a američka ovisnost o uvoznoj nafti počela je osjetno padati. Ovim radom je obuhvaćena analiza troškova proizvodnje nafte i plina iz šejlova za četiri najveća ležišta u SAD-u. Analiza je rađena uz osvrt na globalna geopolitička zbivanja, koja su se pokazala najvažnijim uzrokom kolebanja cijene nafte, a posljedično tome uzrokom i promjena aktivnosti bušenja na američkim nekonvencionalnim ležištima.

Abstract: Technological improvements in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have proved to be a crucial factor in development of US shale reservoirs, during the last decade. An increase of oil prices in period from 2009 to 2014, has stimulated an exponentional increase of US oil production. The unconventional hydrocarbon reserves have become highly competitive in the global energy market, causing the US oil imports significantly to drop. The thesis includes a production costs analysis of four largest shale reservoirs in the United States. The analysis is done with the review of global geopolitical events, which have proved to be the most important cause of oil price fluctuations, and consequently the cause of all drilling activities in US unconventional reservoirs.
