Natural gas from shale (shale gas) is the fastest growing source of gas in the United States
and Canada. In the United States, shale gas production increased at an annual rate of 48%
in recent years (2006-2010). In 2010, 23% of all gas produced in the United Stated
originated from shale deposits.
Industry analysts project that the growing trend in shale gas production is very likely to
continue and by 2020 shale gas production may even reach 12.6 Tcf per annum.
The significant resources of shale gas and the increasing production in North America will
allow the United States and Canada to feed their nationwide hunger for natural gas.
Rapidly developing shale gas production will require additional processing capacity. Gas
processing is necessary to transform raw gas into a pipeline quality product that can be
transported to marketers and end-users. An extra layer of infrastructure is required to treat
and transport natural gas liquids in addition to dry gas.
Inadequate processing equipment could lead to price instability, a slow-down of economic
growth and a reduction in the delivery of natural gas to end-users.
Shale gas producers and midstream operators have recognized this opportunity and several
gas processing facilities have mushroomed in shale plays areas. Numerous new projects
have been announced for the upcoming years. But the potential for shale gas processing
equipment and the components market is much greater.
To keep up with the growing shale gas production, over 10 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d)
of additional processing capacity is necessary by 2015 in the shale plays regions. The
estimated capital cost for investments in gas processing infrastructure is about $8.5 billion
in 2010 dollars.
By 2020, gas processing capacity requirements will increase to over 18 Bcf/d. In total, the
industry investments in gas processing facilities are estimated at $14.7 billion in 2010
dollars for the 2011- 2020 period. A significant percentage of that sum will be invested
directly in gas processing equipment and components.

2. This Report contains comprehensive data on the gas processing equipment and components
market including historical data (2006-2010) and 2011-2020 forecast for the market size in
terms of dollars invested in new infrastructure and in gas processing equipment alone. The

Additional Information
Shale Gas Production to Triple by 2020, Fueling Investments
With world demand continuing to rise for natural gas, investments in infrastructure are
growing for the shale gas industry, which is expected to reach 12.6TcF (Trillion Cubic Feet)
by 2020, tripling its current output. According to a report by energy research publisher SBI
Energy, shale gas production in the U.S. increased at an annual rate of 48% from 2006-
2010, reaching 4.8Tcf and representing 23% of the total U.S. natural gas production.

4. After several prudent years due to uncertainty regarding reserve estimates and production-
related risks, shale gas processing assets are now regarded as an attractive form of
investment. An increase in gas and natural gas liquid products from these shale plays over
recent years has led to billions of dollars worth of investments in gas processing
infrastructure.
“Investments in shale gas from the midstream sector reached over $7.7 billion in shale gas
processing infrastructure, including $3.8 billion plus spent on equipment and components
alone in 2010,” noted Shelly Carr, Publisher of SBI Energy. “This market is being driven by
a growing demand for natural gas.”
The current market for shale gas processing equipment and components is limited to the
North American continent, specifically in the United States and Canada. While the U.S.
market has grown exponentially over the past five years, production increases are also
occurring in Canada, where unconventional gas accounted for 25% of the country’s natural
gas production in 2010.
“Since technological advancements have made shale gas production economically viable, all
major natural gas producers in North America have turned their attention to shale plays,”
added Carr.
