U.S. Unconventional Gas Resources: A Reassessment of Supply/Demand Potential
Channel: Center for Strategic & International Studies
Date: 18/02/2014

The CSIS Energy and National Security Program hosts a reassessment of gas supply and demand prospects and a discussion of the path forward. More efficient drilling, new technologies, and a deeper geological understanding have not only increased access to domestic gas resources but have also allowed for the development of an updated profile of the resource itself. The rapidly evolving nature of U.S. unconventional gas development has rendered resource estimates made only a few years ago already out of date. At the same time, opportunities for new demand growth have increased. Yet challenges to realizing the full potential of this resource remain.

In order to present a variety of insights into the evolving supply and demand picture, the CSIS Energy Program hosts a diverse panel of both public and private sector experts:

    Paula Gant, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Energy for Oil and Natural Gas
    Adam Sieminski, Administrator of the Energy Information Administration
    Andrew Slaughter, Vice President for Energy Research at IHS
    Douglas Tierney, Vice President for Business Development at Encana
    Mary Barcella, Director for North American Natural Gas at IHS
    Clay Bretches, Vice President for E&P Services and Minerals at Anadarko

Frank Verrastro, Senior Vice President and the James R. Schlesinger Chair for Energy and Geopolitics, moderates.
