Worldwide unconventional natural gas production is expected to climb to nearly 1.9 trillion cubic meters by 2050. Shale gas accounts for the majority of unconventional extraction, while tight sands production is expected to increase from 200 to 314.1 billion cubic meters between 2019 and 2050. As for total global natural gas production, non-associated gases are forecast to make up the largest share.
