The growing demand for energy is expected to exhaust the world's crude
oil reserves in another 40 years. The market price of crude oil reached $145
per barrel in the third quarter of 2008. Though the cost per barrel was
around $60 in 2009, it is expected to rise in the next few years. These
factors and fluctuating costs have created the need for other resources to
meet the growing demand for fuel oil.

Global oil shale resources can supply more than 2.8 trillion barrels of
nonrenewable energy. This is almost three times the capacity of crude oil
reserves. Currently, the cost of retorting oil from oil shale is higher than
the cost of crude oil production. Although this factor has kept many
companies out of the market so far, cutting-edge research is now being
undertaken across the globe to reduce the cost of production. One such study
by Shell seeks to cut production costs to less than $25 per barrel. These
developments within the oil shale industry can soon open up tremendous market
opportunities for all the industry stakeholders. In addition to the extracted
fuel oil, oil shale yields several other sub-products like lubricating oil
which also possess huge market potential.
