Energy Forum Set for Pittsburgh ACE

摘要

A special Energy Policy Forum on "The Demand Side of the Natural Gas Price Equation" will be held at 1:15-4 p.m. Tuesday, May 21, at the AAPG Annual Convention and Exhibition in Pittsburgh. Moderator for the event will be Edith Allison, director of the GEO-DC Office in Washington, D.C., and columnist of the EXPLORER'S monthly feature, "Policy Watch." The growth in U.S. natural gas production has depressed prices. Although weather and macro-economic conditions influence price in the short term, new markets for natural gas can boost demand over the long term, bringing prices in line with production costs. This forum will explore some potential areas of growth in natural gas demand.
