According to the EIA (2001b) , in order to meet projected demands and to counter price increases and volatility for natural gas, the United States will need technological advances, increased exploration and developmental drilling, increased capacity for natural gas imports, and conservation.

Key assumptions include technology to improve exploration and production success, an educated and trained workforce, access, and infrastructure, especially for offshore production and imports (Mary Hutzler, EIA, personal communication, 2003~. The committee and workshop participants discussed how current trends appear to challenge these assumptions.

Committee members and workshop participants discussed ways to meet increasing demand for natural gas and technological requirements at a time when oil and gas research and development funding, university science and petroleum engineering enrollments, and industry employment are all declining. STUDY AND REPORT The National Research Council, under the auspices of the Committee on Earth Resources of the Board on Earth Sciences and Resources, was requested by the U.S.
