The US sets up a great example to follow: The “unconventional resource asset revolution” represents a paradigm shift in energy supply that is reshaping global energy markets. In the U.S., unconventional resource plays have proven to be quickly producible in large volumes at a relatively low cost. The surge in hydrocarbon production from unconventional plays in the U.S. has resulted in abundant supplies of natural gas, oil (light tight oil), and natural gas liquids (NGL) that have reversed long-term declines in natural gas and oil production. Less than 10 years ago, most predictions for the U.S. forecast dramatic increases in LNG imports to meet increasing demand. Today, the U.S. is preparing to export LNG in the near future, and may become a net oil exporter around 2030.
