shale gas is here to staythere seems to be a lot of people concerned about the future of shale gas and this seems to have become an issue for all the shale gas producers. I am not at all concerned about this and the reason is very very simple. Has anyone noticed the current price of NG? If there was any chance of shale gas production being banned we would not be looking at recent lows in NG prices, just remember if there is a risk for producers there is also a risk to supply and NG prices would have to reflect this. The only reason NG price is where it is is because of shale gas production, Any serious risk to shale gas producers would have to be reflected in NG prices.
