Conventional vs. Unconventional LNG Supplies? With available conventional sources of gas declining..
World LNG demand increasing but the large conventional gas sources available to supply LNG projects are becoming fewer / more expensive.
Exploration of unconventional resources is becoming more prevalent globally.
And unconventional gas supplies growing..
Unconventional gas supplies to the North American markets are approaching the conventional supply levels.
Unconventional gas predicted to be the predominant supply source (in North America by 2030 or sooner.
Asian Buyers now securing increasing amounts of unconventional LNG for future long-term supply requirements..
In 2010, Asian LNG buyers secured LNG supplies, taking unprecedented equity from Australia's CSM projects.
Major Asian LNG buyers are taking large positions in the N.A. unconventional gas plays.
Unconventional gas, particularly from N.A. with its huge supply base, is considered the new frontier to meet future reliable LNG supplies.

Kitimat LNG poised to move first on shale gas to LNG in NW Canada:
Kitimat LNG is best positioned to capture this opportunity with new project ownership.
As operator, Apache has international oil and gas experience, strong balance sheet and proven track record.
Apache, EOG & Encana in Canada have a diverse supply portfolio to deliver to the Kitimat LNG Project.
Approx. 5 MMtpa LNG facility at Kitimat expandable to approx. 10 MMtpa.
The project has stable jurisdiction with strong political and community support.
Canada has a proven track-record as a reliable exporter of resources, incl. gas.
Shale is now an attractive supply source for Asian Buyers, some of who have acquired acreage in North America.
Kitimat LNG Project shipping is approx. 10 laden days from Japan & Korea, and 12 from China.
