摘要

Those of us in the industry realize the profound impact that shale-gas development has had on our domestic supply, transforming a position of shortage to one of abundance in an amazingly short time. Now the rest of the country is grappling with the impli-cations of this prolific resource. Simply put, shale gas translates di-rectly into more dollars in everyone's pocket.Natural gas produced from shale reservoirs has grown so rapidly that it currently accounts for 34% of U.S. production, and it will reach nearly 60% by 2035.
