IHS CERA held a webinar on Tuesday, May 4 at 3:00 PM BST (London), 16:00 CEST (Paris), 10:00 AM EDT (New York) to mark the launch of the IHS CERA Multiclient Study Breaking with Convention: Prospects for European Unconventional Gas.
During the webinar we:
-
Provided an overview of the Breaking with Convention: Prospects for European Unconventional Gas Multiclient Study
-
Introduced some of the critical issues the Multiclient Study will address
-
Described research methods and deliverables
The webinar included approximately 30 minutes of presentation, followed by a Q&A session.

The European gas market is facing crucial supply challenges. The gas relationship between Europe and Russia is changing rapidly, potentially threatening long-term relationships and the market structure itself. Can the success of the unconventional gas revolution in North America, the world’s largest gas market, translate to Europe?
IHS CERA’s innovative research program Breaking with Convention: Prospects for European Unconventional Gas offers independent research and substantive interaction among energy producers, consumers, and policymakers in a series of senior-level workshops.
Now that North America has broken the code, can the knowledge and technology leap the Atlantic to reproduce an unconventional gas evolution in Europe? As a densely populated region and the world’s second largest gas market, Europe presents new challenges but equally rich rewards. If Europe’s market players fail to anticipate a radical change in supply patterns, the consequences could be tremendous. Substantial investments by the gas industry to establish a footprint in European unconventional gas production is crucial. Key stakeholders in this market will need to understand supply in a new context, requiring further insight into European geology, technological innovations in exploration, and a projection of the impact of unconventional supply on an already highly liquid and competitive gas market.
Using IHS propriety data sets and analysis and IHS CERA market experience on the key above- and belowground drivers and risks, Breaking with Convention: Prospects for European Unconventional Gas delivers in-depth geological, petroleum engineering, and economic analysis to help members understand the real prospects and potential scale for shale and coalbed methane unconventional gas in the European market.

The goal of Breaking with Convention is to help clients understand the real prospects for shale and coalbed methane (CBM) unconventional gas potential and what scale is possible in the European market. The study will be divided into three phases:
-
Phase I: Geological Framework and Sub Surface Potential
-
Phase II: Operational and Production Framework
-
Phase III: Economics and Marketing
Breaking with Convention will uniquely combine IHS proprietary data sets, analysis, and IHS CERA market experience, providing a well-reasoned unconventional natural gas supply outlook for Europe that is based on an understanding of the key above and below ground drivers.
