Jibson Glows With Optimism Over Natural Gas Prospects

摘要

The facts and figures bear out that natural gas is THE product of the decade and with the Shale Gas Revolution barely under way, it's just getting started. For the industry in the United States, which is leading the development, production and transportation of this valuable and environmentally friendly fuel, there has never been a more exciting time to be in the business. That excitement is also tempered with the many challenges facing the natural gas industry, and it is up to those providers and transporters to find the appropriate responses. With so much at stake, they can ill afford a misstep. Those responsibilities ultimately fall upon the shoulders of the associations that represent the various sectors of the industry's interests in the nation's capital and elsewhere. For the local gas distribution companies, that voice is the venerable American Gas Association. The leading voice this year for the AGA's efforts is Chairman Ronald W. Jibson, chairman, president and CEO of Questar Corporation, an integrated energy company based in Salt Lake City, UT. He has been president and CEO of Questar since July 2010 and was named chairman last summer. Prior to that, he was an executive vice president of the corporation and president of its utility subsidiary, Questar Gas Company, which serves about 1 million customers in Utah, southern Idaho and southwestern Wyoming.
