Shale Gas JVs

摘要

The rapidly expanding shale plays are, by their very nature, occurring in areas lacking necessary midstream infrastructure to get gas to markets. The phenomenon has prompted some pioneering E&Ps to form joint-venture (JV) partnerships to raise capital, create midstream systems and build value every step of the way. It's one method to enable cash-strapped E&Ps to focus more closely on timing production-ready upstream projects with much-needed midstream facilities.
