NPR: Natural Gas Series
National Public Radio (NPR) is running a three-part series on the natural gas industry. Not a bad job at all. The opening from the first part:
In recent years, natural gas producers in the United States have struggled, mostly in vain, to be taken more seriously in the energy world. Big oil companies like Exxon had concluded that natural gas reserves in the United States were not sufficiently abundant to warrant big investments in exploration and drilling. When small independent gas producers argued otherwise, they were often ridiculed.
But then it goes on to take a brief look at shale gas and horizontal drilling, noting the recent revival for natural gas. The second part profiles small independents and can be found here. And the third part looks at the industry's late start in playing the climate legislation game (found here).
The charts and graphics are pretty good as well.
