Unconventional Resources  

Unconventional resources are oil and/or natural gas produced or extracted using techniques other than traditional methods. These naturally occurring resources occur globally in significant volumes; however, they are not proven reserves in many cases. Currently, the exploitation of these resources is emerging. As the extraction technology is developed and proven successful and energy prices increase, these resources will be increasingly exploited. The industry may need to develop these unconventional resources in order to supply the world energy demand in the future.  More information is reported in PTIT FOCUS - October 2010 issue.
