UNCONVENTIONAL Gas is Shaking Up the Energy World and has Brought Some Significant Impacts Conventional gas producers are worried that their business models are under threat. Dozens of LNG receiving terminals planned in the US, long-held plans for pipeline imports have been put on hold as new unconventional resources (coal-bed methane, shale & tight gas) are now considered exploitable from the US to Australia to India and China. The Shale revolution enveloping North America will see the region potentially self-sufficient in gas over the next decade or more. What is the scale of this effect on the global LNG markets ? In Europe, shale gas resources has been identified in countries such as Poland, Austria, Germany and drillers are working hard to show results. The excitement is also building up in Asia - China, India, Indonesia which are the next areas for potential unconventional gas production. These new regions could create the headlines of the future as areas with good potential for tight gas, shale gas and CBM have been identified. Positive long-term gas-market conditions are driving interest from the region's oil majors, national oil companies, private equity funds and even energy traders to pursue joint ventures deals for CBM, shale & tight gas. Despite the attractiveness, many challenges remain and these include size of the resource base, ease of access to land, water and pipeline infrastructure, well productivity, availability of drilling rigs and crews, environmental regulations. CMT's 4th UGas Summit ( Unconventional Gas ) is a timely event that has lined up the most senior representatives from across the industry of Oil & Gas exploration companies to government officials, service contractors, energy traders, fund managers and investors. Key highlights include - Unconventional Gas Resources & the potential impact on natural gas markets - Economics & Cost Curves
- Regulatory Developments & Government support
In Nov 2009, President Barack Obama jointly launched the US-China Shale Gas Resource Initiative with his Chinese counterpart, Hu Jintao. The initiative will promote technical co-operation and commercial investment in China and use experience gained in the US to assess China's shale-gas potential. - Will Unconventional Gas be a fundamental resource energy for China ? What is China's resource prospects and how is CNPC / PetroChina getting ahead in this new energy ?
- Investors' perspective on financing unconventional gas
- India's Unconventional Gas & Essar's, the leading CBM player's experience
- Dart Energy - key competencies on becoming a global CBM player
