This document discusses unconventional natural gas and its potential based on quotes from various news sources. It summarizes comments from President Obama about the potential for shale gas production to increase US energy security and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The rest of the document provides an agenda for introducing GTI, an overview of the organization, details on global shale gas resources, and how abundant natural gas could enable energy independence, reduce climate change risks, and provide economic benefits through jobs and tax revenue. It invites attendees to consider what opportunities unconventional gas may provide for their own countries.

2. Unconventional Gas is . . . “…a game changer” - United Press International “…a revolution” - WSJ and New York Times “…a paradigm shift” - Energy Tribune “…the biggest energy innovation of the decade” - Wall Street Journal

3. The White House “The potential for natural gas production in the U.S. from hydrocarbon-rich shale formations, known as “shale gas,” has grown dramatically in recent years due to technological advances. The development of shale gas is expected to significantly increase U.S. energy security and help reduce greenhouse gas pollution. The United States is not alone in having significant shale gas resources.” - President Barack Obama Statement on U.S.-China shale gas resource initiative 17 November 2009

Recently, Shell and PetroChina announced plans to jointly evaluate and develop the gas shales in Sichuan Province. Other Countries Gas shale exploration is underway in many other parts of the world, including Australia, New Zealand and Southern Africa where Statoil, Chesapeake and Sasol recently announced joint plans.
