Unconventional Hydrocarbon Production

Sažetak
Europe is faced with domestic hydrocarbon production decrease and consequently with the increased dependence on imported energy sources. Countries with long history of hydrocarbon production, like Poland, Croatia, Hungary are trying to stop the decline of hydrocarbon production by investing into exploration activities of unconventional reservoirs. In Croatia, for example there have been exploration activities conducted in Mura, Drava and Sava depression but in spite of the discovered potential reserves there are no commercial production from those kind of reservoirs. As industry is faced with technological challenges related to exploitation of unconventional reservoirs worldwide, its development is complex and economically more sensitive due to strict European environmental standards and regulations. Although substantial commercial production from unconventional reservoirs has not yet been accomplished within Europe, European Commission created a recommendation on minimum principles for the exploration and production of hydrocarbons using high - volume hydraulic fracturing. Development of the unconventional reservoirs, exploration and production legislative framework must be in accordance with European energy policy and energy guidelines but also interests of state and market actors must be taken into account. Since there are huge differences between unconventional hydrocarbon production in North America and Europe the future of unconventional production is highly unpredictable in Europe. Each country should adopt the best available techniques and should try to do the best in knowledge transfer from American experience so that production from unconventional reservoirs in Europe becomes less uncertain.
