Fledgling Canadian shale gas development is growing a new wing that is attracting Asian as well as North American investment attention as a supply source with potential to reach international scale.

Europe’s unconventional commercial gas reserves likely rival those in North America and could begin making contributions to supply in 10 to 15 years, according to IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates (IHS CERA).

Untapped unconventional gas plays still exist in pockets across North America, but domestic producers are branching out to test prospects in Europe, the Asian Pacific area, Africa and elsewhere to stake their claims in the next big shale plays.

With more liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports moving to more profitable European and Asian markets because of an overabundance of gas in North America, Russia’s Gazprom may be looking for a joint venture (JV) or a merger and acquisition (M&A) opportunity among the domestic shale players, an energy expert said Thursday.

Apache Corp. is looking beyond the pipeline to Asian markets for the natural gas it produces in British Columbia and may supply Kitimat LNG Inc.’s proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal in Kitimat, BC, the terminal developer said last Monday.

Natural gas supply imports to the United States fell in 2006 as European and Asian markets offered higher prices for liquefied natural gas (LNG) and volumes available from Canada fell, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said. However, the government’s molecule counter enumerated global LNG liquefaction developments that will feed all markets, including the U.S.
