or other, it is not always shale. there are cases where hydraulic fracturing is being applied to geology that differs from shale, but the low permeability formations, very high water pressures open up crack in the rock. they are typically sand that are part of the hydraulic injections, and sand keeps the crack from closing back up again. it turns out that it's easier for natural gas molecules to squeeze their way through the crack that you get from hydraulic fracturing that it is for oil molecules to do the same thing. so that's one of the geologic reasons that we see a rise, let plateau and then fall for oil, but we don't see the same kind of constraint associated with natural gas. i can think of at least three things that could make a difference in the forecast that our knowledge of the geology changes that gives you either higher or lower numbers, that rules on hydraulic fracturing change that could add to the cost structure associated with producing oil or gas from these continuous formations, and that could make

what is going on in terms of shale gas and shale oil production in the u.s. is a very, very remarkable development. i mentioned that we saw natural gas actually exceeding goal in terms of electricity generation by fuel. that happens in that period out past 2030. so that's a long ways away. but this is, again, based on current regulation. it's very possible that we might see less coal and more natural gas replacingplacing that coal as we move over time. one of the other interesting things that is happening in natural gas is the increase and shale gas production is allowing for in our models and forecast considerable growth in natural gas in manufacturing. so if you just look at that middle column 2025, let's concentrate on that as, you know, near-term projection. these are stacked up in order of the growth coming so the biggest growth is at the top moving down toward the bottom. we see a huge increase actually in natural gas use in refining. in chemicals, and food processing. iron and steel production and other primary metals. this is industrial production and

shale increases can push supply down. i don't see that changing because it is high cost production in the u.s. and there are still restrictions on that export. >> just going back to opec, the official selling price of january crude to asia is the highest premium for two years, is that out of step with the market or not? >> i think that's reflecting that saudi arabia does still have a lot of popularity with buyers. but what we could see, if iraq manages the increase we were talking about is later on next year we could see quite a lot of tussling for that asian market and also for the gk and port market. so we've seen iraq undercutting saudi prices often this year. if they're doing that with more barrels, saudi arabia may not give away and allow that for exports. >> your average price for next year? >> a small dip for this year. probably around 105 for brent, but if we saw strong outside demand, it could go well above ta. >> thank you for that. >> the eu is waiting to unleash a record final at least five banking giants for

actually the arguments on the economics of shale gas are fundamentally flawed the u.k. energy market is notoriously for the title and any small reduction in the price of energy will be will disappear within months of appearing and ultimately the only way that we can bring energy prices down for the consumer long term is not by manipulating international markets through small amounts of unconventional energy sources it's through exploiting increasingly flyable wind and solar alternatives. why do you think major companies aren't taking all the precautions they need before they start drilling the argument could be do you think that look if they do take more precautions then it would be safe wouldn't it. i think saying that shale gas could ever be safe relies on companies having standards of ethics that. they clearly have not shown throughout the industrial period around the globe and if companies can find a short cut that increases their profit margin they're going to take it so we are going to continue to see where fracking takes place contamination of the water supply an
