Saudi Arabia may hold as much as 645 trillion cubic feet of technically recoverable shale gas, according to an estimate by Baker Hughes Inc. (BHI) (BHI)
“This number will put Saudi Arabia as the fifth-largest holder of shale gas behind China, the U.S., Argentina and Mexico,” Robert Kennedy, lead petroleum engineer at Baker Hughes, said today at a Society of Petroleum Engineers conference in Khobar, Saudi Arabia.
China is the world’s largest holder of technically recoverable shale gas resources with around 1,275 trillion cubic feet followed by the U.S. with 862 trillion cubic feet, according to estimates from 32 countries published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration last year. The study didn’t include Saudi Arabia.
