From the Piceance Basin to the Pacific Rim How Expanded U.S. LNG Exports Could be Critical to the Development of Natural Gas Reserves in Western Colorados Piceance Basin An Analysis for the Grand Junction Economic Partnership AUTHORS NOTE Every effort has been made to make this a plain spoken white paper. It is designed to appeal to the average person on the street (from Grand Junction, Colo., to the potential LNG purchaser in Asia), not just industry experts. The most difficult challenge for a by John Harpole non-natural gas industry reader will be the constant use of a variety of measurements related to natural gas, plus the scale and Authors Note ...................................... 1 meaning of that measurement [i.e., MCF (thousand cubic feet), BCF (billion cubic feet), TCF (trillion cubic feet), MMBtu (million Introduction ......................................... 1 British thermal units), cubic meters (m3)]. In an effort to assist the reader, the first exhibit in the Appendix presents a comparison of U.S and Piceance Basin Production and those measurements discussed in this white paper. They will help Reserves ............................................... 5 the reader better understand the scale of natural gas from the producing wellhead to its final point of consumption. I would Williams Fork ............................ 5 encourage you to review that two-page Appendix on scale prior to reviewing this analysis.
