Abstract

This paper examines the unconventional oil and gas oilfield services market in Australia. First, the paper gives an activity forecast through to 2025 on how many wells are expected to be completed. The paper looks at how the geology, supply chain, infrastructure, finance and other constraints compare to the Vaca Muerta in Argentina and the Permian in the United States. Finally, the paper looks at the completive landscape and supply demand balance of the frac services market within Australia.

Keywords: Australia, frac, hydraulic fracturing, oilfield services, proppant, shale, water.
