Abstract

Interest of unconventional Oil and Gas, which is produced in a different way, has been increasing due to exhaustion of traditional oil and gas. However production of unconventional Oil and Gas is closely related to its technology level. Accordingly in this research, we can analyze technology level of unconventional Oil and Gas with country/sector/year patent analysis. Through the result of this research, U.S is highest patent application national, patent application in oil sand is increasing. In addition, oil sands-realated patents and shale oil-realated patents applying actively in early 1970's and since the mid-1980's showed a decreasing trend. And patent application in unconventional oil and gas has been increasing due to the rise in the oil price 2000's.

전통적인 석유가스의 부존량이 점점 줄어들면서, 기존의 석유 및 가스와 다른 방식으로 생산되는 비전통 석유가스에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 하지만 비전통 석유가스는 관련 기술 발전과 생산량이 높게 연관되어 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 비전통 석유가스의 기술 수준을 비전통 석유가스의 특허를 주요 시장국/분야/연도별로 분석하였다. 국가 별 분석결과 미국이 가장 높은 출원을 보이고 있었으며, 분야 별 분석결과에서는 오일샌드와 관련된 출원이 많이 나타나고 있음을 보여주었다. 또한 70년대 초반 활발한 오일샌드 및 오일셰일 관련 특허가 활발하게 출원되다가 80년대 중반 이후 감소 추세를 보였으며, 2000년대 유가의 상승으로 인해 다시 비전통 석유가스 관련 출원 빈도수가 크게 늘어난 것을 볼 수 있었다.
