Global Oil Shale Market Key Driver

The oil shale market is poised for growth driven by a surge in crude oil prices worldwide. As the spot price for a barrel of benchmark crude oil rises, reaching an average closing price of $97.40 in 2022 from $68.17 in 2021 according to Macro Trends, the demand for shale oil as a replacement for conventional crude oil intensifies. Shale oil extraction, facilitated by fracking techniques, allows for enhanced energy collection from a single drilling well without the need for additional wells. This surge in crude oil prices, influenced by economic growth, supply constraints, and the COVID-19 pandemic, is instrumental in propelling the growth of the oil shale market.
