Unconventional gas supplies around the world, particularly those from shale basins, “may hold the key to expanding the long-term role of gas in the global energy mix,” the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in a new report released Monday.

GasMart 2011: Technology Enables Fewer Fracks, More Gas
Operators have the tools today to tap into unconventional natural gas and oil reservoirs at a more efficient and more productive pace but the technologic advances have only scratched the rock’s surface, a Schlumberger Ltd. executive said earlier this month.
BP: Natgas Fastest Growing Fossil Fuel to 2030
Natural gas will be the fastest growing fossil fuel globally to 2030, but growth will slow as the market base expands and demand-side efficiency measures take hold, according to a forecast by BP plc.

California’s Brown Recommits to Renewables
Promising “painful” budget recommendations to come, California Gov. Jerry Brown reaffirmed his commitment to renewable energy and efficiency programs as part of a sobering inaugural speech following his swearing in Monday in Sacramento as the 39th governor of the state. Missing in his brief remarks was any mention of climate change, environmental issues or traditional fossil fuels.
New Pipes Spark Trading Activity at Clarington, Transwestern San Juan
The build-out of pipeline infrastructure in recent years has contributed to the efficiency of the nation’s natural gas delivery grid, as previously stranded gas can now reach high-demand markets. New trading activity and pricing locations have emerged, prompting NGI to establish new price indices for Transwestern San Juan (TSJ) and the Clarington, OH, terminus of Rockies Express (REX).

Alternative Energy Can’t Replace Fossil Fuels, Report Contends
There is no green bullet that will allow various alternative energy and efficiency technologies to replace fossil fuels, which are in shorter supply than most people will acknowledge, according to a report from a six-year-old California think tank, the Post Carbon Institute, and a more mature International Forum on Globalization (IFG), founded in the early 1990s in San Francisco. As a result, the world generally has far less time than is currently thought for an energy “transition” period, an official with the institute told NGI Friday.
Industry Brief
A Federal Energy Regulatory Commission conference, scheduled for Dec. 2, will focus on waste heat recovery efforts and other efficiency measures in the natural gas industry. It will run from 9 a.m. to noon. A free webcast of the event will be available on www.ferc.gov.
