Global energy “demand shock,” compounded by tight oil supplies, constraints on U.S. natural gas production and geopolitical turmoil, has put the United States’ energy situation at a critical juncture, according to Daniel Yergin, chairman of Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA).

Canada’s National Energy Board (NEB) said Thursday that natural gas requirements for the country’s expanding oilsands industry will grow substantially from the 0.6 Bcf/d recorded in 2003 to a range of 1.4-1.6 Bcf/d by 2015. However, rising gas prices are forcing producers to find alternatives to reduce their dependence on gas as the major source of energy and hydrogen for their operations, the report said.

ExxonMobil Corp. said in a new report that the world will require about 40% more energy in 2020 than today, with consumption levels forecast to reach almost 300 MMboe/d.

The lineup that doubled the number of proposals for new terminals to import liquefied natural gas into the United States over the past 18 months have been on the right track, according to the dean of Canadian supply forecasters.

Greater power generation diversity is vital to an improved energy future for Vermont, the Vermont Department of Public Service (DPS) said in a final draft of its 2004 Vermont Comprehensive Energy and Electric Plan. But a more diverse generation infrastructure means bolstering the state’s gas pipeline network, which has been a difficult task in recent years.

With doubt continuing to grow that the United States can satisfy its natural gas growth needs in-house, liquified natural gas (LNG) importation continues to gain spotlight attention as a means to augment domestic gas supply.
