Questar President: Natural Gas is Abundant

KAYSVILLE — During the height of the energy crisis in the 1970s, then-President Jimmy Carter projected the United States would exhaust its natural gas supply by 1991.

What Carter did not take into account is the advancement in technology that would be made in directional drilling in drawing those natural resources from the earth, said Ron Jibson, Questar Gas president and CEO.

Jibson provided a short presentation on energy at the Davis Chamber of Commerce monthly speaker forum.

“The one big misnomer out there is that we are running out of natural gas in this country,” Jibson said.

There is well over a 100-year supply of untapped natural gas that is available, he said.
