Help For Declining Natural Gas Production

Seen In The Unconventional Sources Of

Natural Gas



Oil imports could be reduced and domestic
gas production increased if additional gas
production is obtained from four unconven-
tional resources--eastern  Devonian  shales,
tight sands, coal beds, and geopressured
zones.

Gas produced from these resources can help
maintain overall production levels as supplies
from conventional gas sources gradually de-
cline.

The eastern shales and western sands are the
chief potential contributors in the near term.
Further demonstrations of coal bed methane's
recovery feasibility could improve the pro-
spects for its production while future geo-
pressured methane production    remains
speculative at this time.
