3. U.S. Energy – Shale to LNG
Shale Boom
Rising Star in Energy Shale Benefits
The U.S. “Shale Boom” has reshaped the American Other industries, like manufacturing, have felt the positive
Energy Industry in the past few years. impact of shale production with an increase in business and
need for improved infrastructure to meet industry demands.
(Shale Gas will Fuel a U.S. Manufacturing Boom, Kevin Bullis, technologyreview.com)
Made possible by a combination of hydraulic fracturing
and horizontal drilling, the vast amount of shale gas being
produced has been essential to the development of the The most recent industry to benefit from Shale has been
United States as a global energy competitor. America’s refining industry, which is currently “enjoying a
remarkable revival…shares in companies such as Marathon
Petroleum and Tesoro [were] the best-performing of any large
Economic & Job Growth energy companies worldwide last year.” (Refiners Reap Gains of U.S.
Shale Oil Boom, Ed Crooks, ft.com)
The Shale Boom has brought increased profits to areas
like North Dakota and South Texas, drastically improving What’s next? The industry’s Oilfield services are expected to
the regions’ economies. North Dakota is now the second “take off, having grown their businesses offshore and in strong
largest producer of oil (after Texas) while South Texas has international markets and anticipating that there will be at least

4. U.S. Energy – Shale to LNG
The Hurtle
Maintaining Investment and Growth
• Several companies have plans to return manufacturing to American soil. Although many factors have
contributed to a renewed shine in the Rust Belt, the region’s recent success is largely due to the
extraction of oil and gas from shale plays (The Next Boom, Kopin Tan, Barrons.com).
• Nonetheless, the increase in production creates a situation where the U.S. market is becoming
saturated with the natural resource. In fact, concerns about the affects of becoming “overextended” has
led some to suggest slowing oil production (North Dakota Enjoys Oil Boom – But Grids for Slowdown, Russell Gold, online.wsj.com)
• To keep interest in America’s energy sector alive and to secure job growth/creation for thousands of
people, LNG exports have become a crucial topic for America’s Energy Industry. WHY??

5. U.S. Energy – Shale to LNG
Continue Production to Continue Growth
• LNG exports would send positive signals throughout the industry increasing
demand in America’s energy resources and allowing for “increased domestic
production of shale gas” (Blocking LNG Exports Helps a Few, Hurts Many, Dr. Michael Economides, Forbes.com)
• In general, LNG exports have become a topic of contention in the United States.
However, “a report commissioned by the U.S. Energy Department found that for
every market scenario examined the greater the volume of LNG exports, the
greater the economic gain.” (Are There Really Benefits to U.S. LNG Exports?, Daniel J. Graeber, OilPrice.com)
• Instead of production and job growth declining when the market becomes
“overstocked” with natural gas, turning excess gas into LNG exports will bring
continued investment to the U.S. and allow domestic production to remain alive
and strong.
Senators have been debating over natural gas exports with
questions raging over whether or not to impose federal limits in
an attempt to constrain U.S. prices while allowing domestic
manufacturing to grow.
Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) was quoted by My San Antonio as
saying he wants to reach "a sweet spot where U.S. gas
producers make enough money to continue producing and U.S.
manufacturers have an affordable stable supply of natural gas."

6. U.S. Energy – Shale to LNG
Shale Production to LNG Exports:
Jumping the Hurtle
• Already the production of Shale Gas has “attract[ed] good manufacturing jobs back to America, particularly in
the chemical and steel industries. All of this adds up to a lot of jobs, growth, improved national security, and
more revenues for government.” (U.S. Chamber: Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Exports Make Sense, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, uschamber.com)
• However, to ensure continued economic advancement, the market has to adjust to an abundance of the
resource. Instead of leaving raw material to lay around and encourage slowed production and limited
investment in manufacturing, LNG exports will encourage more domestic production and manufacturing
investment: “expanding LNG leads to a greater economic expansion than limiting LNG exports.” (Blocking LNG Exports
Helps Few, Hurts Many, Dr. Michael Economides, forbes.com)
What it Could Mean for The U.S.:
Over the Hurtle
• As has already been experienced by the Shale Boom, increases in energy production create energy jobs
as well as other sector jobs to accommodate rapid economic growth and expansion. This growth could
potentially slow if the natural resource is limited to the U.S. market inhibiting the rate of production.
• LNG exports offer continued investment in America’s energy industry, bringing with it continued job
growth. According to the Center for Liquefied Natural Gas, “LNG exports represent an enormous
opportunity not only to increase U.S. trade, but also to create thousands of new American jobs.” (Natural Gas
Exports Create Jobs, CLNG, lngfacts.org)
