Petroleum Eng/Sci / estrazione di petrolio
English term or phrase: starting from a smaller base
Moreover, most of that value could come from recovery of unconventional oil reserves due to greater incremental production over the coming decade (that is to say, oil reserves are starting from a smaller base than unconventional gas) and could have higher margins than shale gas.
