Thematic Research of Arctic Exploitation, 2020 - Arctic Region is Likely to Hold Around 20-25 Percent of the World's Untapped Hydrocarbons - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Arctic Exploitation - Thematic Research" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Summary

The Arctic region is largely under-explored, owing to its cold, harsh climatic conditions, frozen seas, and lack of investment in infrastructure development. However, this picture is gradually changing.

According to separate estimations from the US and Russian agencies, the Arctic region is likely to hold around 20-25 percent of the world's untapped hydrocarbons - potentially amounting to a US$35 trillion opportunity. Dwindling oil and gas reserves elsewhere is also raising the case for exploration and production (E&P) companies to venture into this region in search of hydrocarbons.
