As estimated by the American Gas Association's Gas Supply Committee, conventional gas production in the Lower 48 States will decrease from today's level of 19 trillion CF to 12-14 TCF in 2000. Lower 48 production currently provides 90% of the US gas supply; by 2000, it will contribute only about 50%. The remainder will have to come from supplemental conventional and nonconventional sources. A.G.A. considers Alaskan, Canadian, and Mexican pipeline supplies a secure, reliable, and major sources of gas. The US will also be an active participant in world LNG trade. Given the right government incentives, the gas industry could also be producing 1.3-2.7 TCF/yr of fuel gas from coal and 1.2-3.0 from tight gas formations (Western sands and Devonian shale) by the year 2000.
