1. Shale Gas: Products & Services
Report Summary
US shale gas development to reach $50 billion by 2015
Demand for products and services used in US shale gas development will
grow to nearly $50 billion in 2015 as industry activity continues to escalate
in the emerging Marcellus, Haynesville and Fayetteville shale plays. While
shale gas drilling will slow from the rapid buildup of the 2005-2010 period,
the industry will still bring more than 8,000 new producing wells online
through 2015. Increasing demand for drilling and completion products and
services for new shale gas wells will be accompanied by growing markets
for workover, restimulation, and well site reclamation services in areas
where production is maturing.
Low natural gas prices since 2008 have narrowed the profit margin of
shale gas investment. Shale gas producers are responding to this trend by
seeking improvements in well economics, in many cases through the use of
highervalue products and services. Through the forecast period, shale gas
producers will continue to embrace innovations such as multiple-well
drilling pad systems and advanced hydraulic fracturing materials in order
to improve drilling efficiencies and increase per-well gas output, thus
bolstering profitability as gas prices remain below 2008 highs.
Tubular goods, drilling fluids and proppants to lead gains
Demand for drilling equipment and consumables in the shale gas plays will
grow to more than $6.8 billion in 2015, led by nearly double-digit growth
in tubular goods, the largest equipment category. Shale operators will
continue to consume more tubular goods overall and on a per-well basis.
Growth in demand for chemicals and materials will slightly outpace that
seen for drilling equipment and consumables, reflecting the intensive
material demands of the wells that will be drilled in the newer shale plays.
Stimulation products, especially proppants, used in hydraulic fracturing
will be the dominant source of chemicals and materials demand.

Robust growth in service revenues to continue
The market for services used by shale gas producers will reach more than
$38 billion in 2015. Demand for services will continue to be dominated by
contract drilling and pressure pumping, which together account for more
than 60 percent of the total market. Service providers will continue to
benefit from high levels of shale gas drilling activity as well as the
increased scale and sophistication of wells in the emerging plays, despite
these trends slowing from the 2005-2010 period. Other segments such as
completion and production services and waste management and
remediation services will be promoted by a range of factors. This will
include increased workover and restimulation activity as well as new state
and federal laws requiring additional environmental services at well sites.

2. Marcellus, Haynesville to generate most new demand
Regional variations in the shale gas market are strong due to geographical
differences in recoverable reserves and the different stages of industry
development in the major plays. The Southern Region dominated products
and services demand in 2010 and will retain half of the total market
through the forecast period, even as the Midwestern Region registers
faster annual gains based on activity in the Marcellus, Woodford and a
number of other emerging shale plays. Through 2020, the Marcellus Shale
will be the fastest growing market for products and services of the major
plays.
