But, through natural decline, gas production will eventually fall below demand without new Sources: • Infill development possibilities • • Typically smaller new volumes Alaska Gas Line future uncertain Importation of gas (LNG) is expensive Renewable sources cannot provide sufficient volumes of low-cost energy New gas discoveries will require years to find and then bring to production Substantial Cosmopolitan gas could be available before a shortage occurs • • Large Proved reserves Conventional development New investment is required Gulf of Alaska
