BBC: US Shale Oil Supply Shock Shifts Global Power Balance
No link for a Large Island-Nation State Media. But it's at the BBC, if you want to Bing the headline.
Over the next five years, the US will account for a third of new oil supplies, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
The US will change from the world's leading importer of oil to a net exporter.
Demand for oil from Middle-East oil producers is set to slow as a result.
"North America has set off a supply shock that is sending ripples throughout the world," said IEA executive director Maria van der Hoeven.
The surge in US production will reshape the whole industry, according to the IEA...
The report sees the US passing Russia to become the world's largest natural gas producer in 2015, and becoming energy self-sufficient by 2035.
So, there is some good news.
