The world will require 53% more energyin 2035 than in 2008 in order to sustain

modest economic growth

The U.S. will require 9% more energyin 2035 and more than half of it

will be met by oil and gas

Ultimately recoverable oil resources dwarf current proven reserves

U.S. oil and natural gas productionis increasing as a result of technological innovations

U.S. Crude Oil Production(Thousands of barrels per day)

U.S. Natural Gas Production(trillion cubic feet)

Shale resources are widelydispersed across the U.S.

New technology allows for additional access to resources

The technology is designed to protect the environment.

Shale gas production is offsetting declining production from other U.S. natural gas resources

Shale development equals more jobs
