Abstract
SCOPE OF STUDY
This report contains:
- An overview of the advanced exploration and new dowhole technology industry
- Discussion of government environmental/energy regulations as it applies to
natural gas and the environment
- Analysis of the structure of the industry and competitive aspects
including the driving forces of the industry
- Quantification of advanced exploration and downhole techniques type of
technology application including the various products with forecasts to 2012.
- Analysis of conventional and unconventional oil and natural gas resources,
with forecasts for exploration and extraction technology products through 2012
- In-depth quantification of advanced exploration and downhole
expendititures by region/country including trade data with forecasts to 2012.
- Company profiles of more than 100 companies with advanced exploration and
new downhole technology for oil and natural gas production.
METHODOLOGY
Both historic and current data have been used in the oil and natural gas
demand analysis. Results of the calculations are therefore based on three
components: a historic analysis of the demand in the period 2004-2006,
estimated data for 2007, and forecasted demand for the period through 2012.
INFORMATION SOURCES
Information sources include trade data (national and international), company
publicity literature, conference reports, world trade technical journals, and
interviews with company representatives.
