“…The figure also reveals that this regime has once again become dominant in the decade corresponding to the shale oil revolution. This is in line with the assumed structural changes brought about by shale oil (Grubert 2018;Ulrich-Schad et al 2020).…”

“…In line with the structural changes brought about by shale oil (Grubert 2018;Solarin 2020;Ulrich-Schad et al 2020), the results for both crude oil production and crude oil relative importance show that the (bull) regime that was dominant during the 1980s and the early 1990s when US crude oil production was substantially high is the same regime that has once again become dominant in the decade corresponding to the shale oil revolution. Paying attention to the state corresponding to the shale revolution, it is found on the one hand that manufacturing production and the CPI are significant determinants of US crude oil production.…”

The structural changes brought about by shale oil revolution have inspired this paper of which the aim is to analyze the potential asymmetries related to the determinants of crude oil production in the USA. Thus, using a Markov-switching dynamic regression model in which parameters change when oil production moves from one regime to the other, it is found that for both oil production and oil relative importance, the regime that was dominant during the 1980s and the early 1990s when oil production in the USA was substantially high is the same regime that has once again become dominant in the decade corresponding to the shale oil revolution. Furthermore, the study reveals the existence of asymmetries in the relationship between US crude oil production and both manufacturing production and the consumer price index. Asymmetries are also found in the relationship between the relative importance US crude oil and manufacturing production. Finally, it is found that the intercept and the variance parameter also vary from one regime to the other, thus justifying the use of regime-dependent models.

“…Global unconventional oil and gas reserves are vast and are mainly concentrated in North America, Central Asia–Russia, Central and South America, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. − The size of the global unconventional oil reserve is 0.5–1.9 times that of the conventional oil reserve. The size of the global unconventional natural gas reserve is 1.7–13.8 times that of the conventional natural gas reserve. − There was a major breakthrough in North American unconventional natural gas exploration in 2000. Since then, countries such as the United States, Australia, and Canada have engaged in the industrial production of unconventional oil and gas. − Unconventional oil and gas reserves are hosted in complex geological formations that are deep underground. − To improve the efficiency of unconventional oil and gas extraction, it is necessary to artificially increase the permeability of the reservoir.…”

Advances in Liquid Nitrogen Fracturing for Unconventional Oil and Gas Development: A Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Liquid nitrogen (LN 2 ) fracturing is an anhydrous fracturing technology that enhances coal permeability and supports unconventional oil and gas exploitation. In this Review, we provide a systematic review of five aspects of LN 2 fracturing. They are the history of the technology's development, research topics, factors influencing fracturing efficiency, fracturing mechanism, and engineering processes and systems. Liquid nitrogen fracturing transforms coal and rock pore structure through mechanisms such as low temperature, freeze−thaw damage, and gas expansion. It changes coal and rock mechanical properties and improves the pore penetration and efficiency of unconventional oil and gas extraction. However, in-depth studies are still required in many areas. They include theoretical studies of twophase nitrogen flow in coal and rock, development of technical equipment to support field operations, and plans to monitor and evaluate fracturing efficiency. On the basis of the advances in LN 2 fracturing research and the challenges, we conclude that future research should focus on multiphase flow and field equipment and technology.

“…Research has shown that residents of different types of rural places have divergent and complex views on development priorities (Hamilton et al 2008; Ulrich‐Schad et al 2020). Existing literature suggests that how development preferences are weighted may also differ among community residents based on how long they have lived in the community and, in some cases, the age of the resident.…”

Preferences for Economic and Environmental Goals in Rural Community Development in the Western United States*

et al. 2022

Rural residents in the United States do not always agree on local development priorities, yet understanding and accounting for their preferences is a step towards more effective and equitable community development. We use survey data spanning different types of rural Intermountain West communities to gauge residents' preference weights for economic and environmental rural development goals. Given that community tenure and age are often related to development preferences, respondents are divided into three groups based on these factors using a classification tree approach. Long-term residents (>36 percent of life spent in the community) have the strongest economic preferences, while older newcomers have the strongest environmental preferences. The Leti heterogeneity index reveals that long-term residents also displayed the greatest homogeneity of preferences. Ordered probit analysis shows that goal preferences are also related to sex, education, household income, community financial security, and the share of county income derived from wealth assets. These findings provide a more nuanced and methods-based understanding of residential tenure in a community and its relationship to development attitudes across a variety of rural place types, all valuable information for rural community and economic development practitioners.
