Unconventional Oil (Oil Shales, Oil Sands and Extra-heavy Oil) - Market Analysis, Industry
Developments and Forecasts to 2020


Summary


“Unconventional Oil (Oil Shales, Oil Sands and Extra-heavy Oil) - Market Analysis, Industry
Developments and Forecasts to 2020” is the latest report from GlobalData, the industry analysis
specialist, and analyzes the developments in the unconventional oil sector globally. The report
provides an overview of the unconventional oil market by key resource types, including Canada’s
oil sands, North America’s oil shales and Venezuela’s extra-heavy crude oil. It also analyses some
of the major drivers and challenges for the unconventional oil industry. The report also provides
historic and projected production of unconventional oil through to 2020, the mergers and
acquisitions in major unconventional oil markets (Canada’s oil sands industry, Venezuela’s extra-
heavy oil sector and North America’s oil shales market) and the competitive landscape in the
unconventional oil industry.

The report is compiled using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary
and secondary research, and in-house analysis by GlobalData’s team of industry experts.
