Conoco's Mulva Sees Gas Fueling Global Needs for Centuries ...If

摘要

For a major oil producer, ConocoPhillips is extraordinarily high on natural gas judging from the comments Conoco Chief Executive Jim Mulva made at the World Petroleum Congress last week in Doha, Qatar. Speaking at the 20th annual gathering, Mulva made no bones about the fact that natural gas can carry the global energy load for centuries to come—if governments don't fumble nature's "gift." Natural gas is uniquely situated to address energy security, economic opportunity and sustainahuity on a global scale, Mulva said. Already, the shale gas revolution has secured North American energy security by increasing gas reserves 65% since the mid-1990s. And there is no reason dozens of nations can't exploit their own unconventional gas bounty, he said.
