In the middle of the article you talk about the wells in the Barnett Shale having a 65% observed decline rate after the first year, 53% second, 23% third, etc. Does this mean that the wells first year production rate was estimated to be 0.568 Bcf, and the second year only 35% of .568, third year 47% of 35% of 0.568, etc. Or do you mean the first year will be 0.568, second year 65% of 0.568, third year 53% of 0.568, etc. My career was in building and operating LNG ships, so shale gas is new and exciting to me.

That doesn't strike me as very pessimistic at all. Natural gas is relatively cheap as a transportation fuel even when it is over $10/Mcf (as it has been recently). If that's the worst case for a 100 year supply, what's the worry. The other wild card, which you fail to mention, is shale gas outside of the continental U.S. Canada will almost surely have large amounts, and Europe might be able to kick in a decent amount. Add to this the LNG infrastructure that's coming on-line now and over the next few years, and it seems reasonable to conclude that the global supply will be quite large, and relatively diverse. “The pessimists believe the marginal cost of shale gas production is $7-8/Mcf”.

No one is interested enough to post a comment about the article. The house passed (using the sleaziest of tactics) an energy bill that defies arithmetic, thermodynamics and geology. The 1300 pages or so include a multitude of fatuous provisions impinging on every individual. The bill commits us far into the future. Yet not a single representative could have possibly read the bill, 300 pages were added at 3 AM. Let’s hope the senate kills this monstrosity. What a punk day.
