Where can I find shale gas and coalbed methane (or unconventional natural gas) production data and reserves estimates?
EIA publishes estimates of U.S. production of unconventional natural gas, which includes shale gas and coal bed methane, for two years, and a forecast out 20 to 25 years, in the Annual Energy Outlook; for the 2010 Reference Case, see Table 14. There are reserves estimates for shale gas and coalbed methane in Table 9.2. on the 2nd page of the Assumptions to the Annual Energy Outlook 2010 Oil and Gas Supply Module. Links to state-level production data and estimates of proved reserves for shale gas and coalbed methane are in the EIA’s annual reserves report. EIA does not publish data or forecasts specifically for shale gas or coal bed methane for other countries.
