FE and NETL laid the technical foundation of the shale gas revolution• The federal government mapped
shale gas resources• Funded experimental wells and
undertook related research • Led to lowering the eventual cost
and risks of shale gas exploration
NETL: A “Long” History of SuccessUnconventional Gas Exploration & Production

The National Energy EcosystemNETL’s Energy Priorities
Maximize value creation
Improve existing investments
Integrate & optimize energy
Eliminate environmental
impact
Innovative distributed
