The Arctic Oil & Gas Exploration & Production (E&P) Market 2011-2021

NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

The Arctic Oil & Gas Exploration & Production (E&P) Market 2011-2021

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0618826/The-Arctic-Oil--Gas-Exploration--Production-EP-Market-2011-2021.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Oil_and_Gas_energy

The Arctic remains one of the final frontier areas for oil and gas exploration. Strong oil prices, more advanced offshore equipment and receding sea ice are leading to a growing interest in the Arctic. The Arctic contains a number of basins supporting positive geology for hydrocarbon occurrence, and with the Arctic onshore industry already having provided significant discoveries, the Arctic offshore will provide opportunities for future E&P growth. Visiongain has calculated the Arctic oil & gas E&P market to be worth $11.93bn in 2011.

Though the industry will be faced with the restraints of overcoming environmental concerns, huge distances to market and challenging operating conditions, the Arctic oil and gas E&P market is likely to provide substantial opportunities for potential investors. The considerable oil and gas potential of the Arctic and the high price of oil currently make this high risk, high reward E&P region one of the most exciting in the world.

The Arctic Oil & Gas Exploration & Production (E&P) Market 2011-2021 report examines this pivotal area of the oil and gas industry with in-depth analysis of global and national oil & gas E&P markets. The report provides detailed market forecasts for global and national spending on Arctic E&P over the next ten years as well as breaking down the market into onshore and offshore investment. The various drivers and restraints of each national market are evaluated in order to provide readers with specific insights into the future direction of the Arctic E&P market. The report also describes the major challenges of the Arctic oil & gas E&P industry and looks at the technologies that have helped to access the harsh environment.

Although the Arctic has incredible potential, with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) estimating 90 billion barrels of undiscovered oil and 1,668 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered gas, a calculated and cautious approach to exploitation will be vital to optimal development. Due to the lack of geological data transparency in the Arctic, oil and gas exploration and production will be a high risk, high reward venture in which only the most experienced companies can compete.

How much will global spending on Arctic E&P increase between 2011 and 2021? Which factors will drive and influence spending in each of the Arctic nations? Which of the Arctic nations will see significant growth over the next ten years? Which companies will be the key players in the Arctic E&P market? What are the opinions of key experts in the sector? These critical questions and many more are definitively answered in this comprehensive report.
