Natural Resources Research (Ó 2013) DOI: 10.1007/s11053-013-9224-6 Unconventional Energy Resources: 2013 Review American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Energy Minerals Division1,2 Received 23 July 2013; accepted 17 September 2013 This report contains nine unconventional energy resource commodity summaries and an analysis of energy economics prepared by committees of the Energy Minerals Division of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Unconventional energy resources, as used in this report, are those energy resources that do not occur in discrete oil or gas reservoirs held in structural or stratigraphic traps in sedimentary basins. These resources include coal, coalbed methane, gas hydrates, tight-gas sands, gas shale and shale oil, geothermal resources, oil sands, oil shale, and U and Th resources and associated rare earth elements of industrial interest. Current U.S. and global research and development activities are summarized for each unconventional energy commodity in the topical sections of this report. KEY WORDS: Coal, coalbed methane, gas hydrates, tight-gas sands, gas shale and shale oil, geothermal, oil sands, oil shale, U, Th, REEs, unconventional energy resources, energy economics. INTRODUCTION Peter D. Warwick,3 Paul C. Hackley The Energy Minerals Division (EMD) of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) is a membership-based, technical interest group having the primary goal of advancing the science of geology, especially as it relates to explo- ration, discovery, and production of unconventional energy resources. Current research on unconven- tional energy resources is rapidly changing and exploration and development efforts for these re- sources are constantly expanding. Nine summaries 1American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Tulsa, OK 74119, USA. 2To whom correspondence should be addressed; e-mail: pwarwick@usgs.gov 3U.S. Geological Survey, 956 National Center, Reston, VA 20192, USA. derived from 2013 committee reports presented at the EMD Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsyl- vania in April, 2013, are contained in this review. The complete set of committee reports is available to AAPG members at http://emd.aapg.org/members_ only/annual2011/index.cfm. This report updates the 2006, 2009, and 2011 EMD unconventional energy review published in this journal (American Associa- tion of Petroleum Geologists, Energy Minerals Divi- sion 2007, 2009, 2011). Reviews of research activities in the U.S., Canada, and other regions of the world, that are related to coal, coalbed methane, gas hydrates, tight- gas sands, gas shale and shale oil, geothermal re- sources, oil sands, oil shale, and U and Th resources and associated rare earth elements (REEs) of industrial interest, are included in this report. An analysis of energy economics is also included. Exploration and development of all unconventional resources has expanded in recent years and is sum- marized in this report. Please contact the individual authors for additional information about the topics covered in this report for each section.
