1997 Edition of the GRI Baseline Projection of U.S. Energy Supply and Demand to 2015. Gas Research Insights. This report summarizes the gas supply outlook in the 1997 Edition of the GRI Baseline Projection which is consistent with the industry expectations that gas supply will continue to set record levels in the future, even though the prospects for increased real gas prices have essentially disappeared. However, without new supply technology, the gas industry would have declining opportunities to expand gas supply over the next decade. The increased gas supply in the 1997 projection can be sustained well past the year 2015.
Most uncertainties surrounding gas supply are on the up side.
Critical to this optimistic picture, however, is a dynamic, innovative, and highly adaptive gas industry that can continue to adopt new technologies and practices and expand its perceptions of the resource base. Appendixes include a comparison of general gas supply and price trends of the 1996 and 1997 editions of the projection, a discussion of the supply component of the GRI Hydrocarbon Model, and a survey of hydrocarbon production in Alaska and Canada.
