DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe principle objective of this study was to develop a method to evaluate the relative costs of development of the natural gas resource potential which has been estimated to exist in the United States by the Potential Gas Committee. Based on the method developed, the project has then attempted to calculate such costs of development for those geologic provinces within the lower 48 states of the United States where sufficient data were judged to be available to provide a meaningful basis for cost calculations. The calculated relative costs are primarily useful in making comparisons between the various geographic areas and the various depths in which the gas resource is expected to occur. Secondarily, these relative cost data provide the basis for making meaningful comparisons between the costs of alternative sources of natural gas, including so-called unconventional resources, and between the costs of natural gas and other energy sources.
