Revolution to Renaissance: How Shale Gas Is Transforming the Northeast


American energy is upending old paradigms, thanks in no small part to the shale gas revolution that has transformed the way we think about fueling our future. Technological innovation has granted us access to vast domestic supplies of a cleaner energy that can power our nation’s homes and industry, offer cleaner transportation and even export energy to our allies -- possibilities that seemed just 10 years ago to be pipe dreams. At the epicenter of this energy renaissance is the Marcellus Shale, which is transforming the Northeast into a global power player. From expanding regional storage and pipeline infrastructure to innovative electric market design, what will it take to ensure the full promise of this incredible domestic resource?

Is there enough supply to meet demand? Or will demand pale in comparison to the available supply? In an ever-changing market, it’s crucial to separate facts and fiction when it comes to managing risks and the future. Our experts will share their growth outlooks and how buyers and suppliers can plan accordingly.

Unconventional resources have transformed the global energy landscape, and the United States is reaping many of the benefits in the form of jobs, economic growth and affordable, reliable supplies of natural gas. On the whole, the industry successfully dealt with a significant “stress test” this past winter, as extreme cold weather led to record-breaking U.S. gas demand for heating requirements. Upon reflection, did the industry deliver as much gas as was needed, to where it was needed, when it was needed, maintaining affordability? What are the settings that will help us do this even better in the future?
