"Energy map" shake off dependence on the Middle East activation Industrial Recovery

"Shale gas development and utilization of the U.S. domestic natural gas prices plummeted, the foreign dependency decline, and is changing America's energy consumption structure," China Petroleum University International Center for Political Studies, Professor Pang Changwei oil in the interview with this reporter, said.
Oil is considered to be the fundamental American foreign policy, the United States has urged both parties to reduce dependence on foreign oil voices. U.S. President Barack Obama is set a target in 2025 to reduce dependence on foreign oil will be a third.
Pang Changwei said that with the U.S.  shale gas  technology has made breakthroughs, the U.S. energy focus from the Middle East, West Africa and North America gradually shifted westward movement of local, foreign dependence decreased significantly. Data show that in 2010 the U.S. dependence on Middle East oil was 80 million tons, the proportion dropped to 18.5%. IEA chief economist Fatih Birol said, to the 1930s, the United States rely on oil imports from the Middle East pattern is almost gone.
Shale gas revolution has made natural gas supply capacity increased significantly in the United States, natural gas prices have dropped to the lowest in 10 years. Savings Bank of the Russian Research Center of Macroeconomic an analysis report, shale gas heat so that the U.S. natural gas prices fell by 80%.
"Washington Post" said last month that the U.S. shale gas revolution is Hydraulic fracturing activated rejuvenation of the old industrial model for the petrochemical, glass, steel, toys and other industry brought a spring breeze. Because these companies are very dependent on gas,ceramic proppant and cheap natural gas so that their business rapidly.
In addition, the shale gas revolution in the United States may also create a lot of jobs. It is estimated that by 2020, the United States may thereby increasing the 3,000,000 jobs, the U.S. government from non-traditional oil and gas industry tax and royalty revenues are likely to more than 111 billion U.S. dollars.
