As far as US is concerned, over 700 billion barrels of synthetic crude spread of over 11 million acres of Colarado, Uthah and Wyoming District. Only about 2% of whole 30 trillion bbl of shale oil is available for commercial exploration. Total recoverable natural gas in the world is 28,205 tcf of which shale gas is almost one-fourth.
