Spurred on by production from prolific unconventional shale basins and tight sands, as well as anticipated market growth from electric generation and industrial sectors, as much as $210 billion in investment in pipelines, storage and midstream infrastructure will be required over the next two decades to meet long-term supply and demand needs, a new INGAA Foundation report estimates.

Halliburton is anticipating a “structural shift” in the U.S. land market as unconventional resources become a more prominent component of the production profile, CEO Dave Lesar said Friday.

Given robust gas production from unconventional plays and abundant gas in storage, the American Gas Association (AGA) Monday predicted that consumers will enjoy lower gas bills this winter compared with last year.

The surge in U.S. unconventional gas production from shale plays has led to a disconnect between natural gas prices and the oil complex, which can persist in the near-to-medium term but is not sustainable in the long run, said analysts in a new Goldman Sachs report on commodities.

The price of Canadian oil and natural gas reached new highs only to fall dramatically in the latter half of 2008 due to the emergence of unconventional resource plays in the United States. This created a supply glut, which added to the economic slowdown and reduced demand, according to Canadian Energy Overview 2008 by the country’s National Energy Board (NEB).
