The future of natural gas: economic myths, regulatory realities

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7309465
This report forecasts conventional gas supplies (excluding Alaskan) past the year 2000 as well as the potential for supplementary supplies from Alaskan gas, LNG, and coal gasification during the same period. The costs for these supplies are calculated, in constant dollars, for 1985 and 2000 using estimated quantities of new gas and rollover gas under existing FPC Opinions for these years. The prices of alternate fuels are also estimated, using the price rollup under EPCA for crude and the expiration of contracts for coal.
