The overall report is provided in two parts.

The purpose of Part I of our APEC Unconventional Gas Census report is to: (1) document information on surveys of unconventional gas resources completed, underway or planned by the various APEC economies, including relevant activities underway by other international agencies; and (2) to set forth the potential amounts of unconventional gas, by type, that could be practically and economically produced in
each APEC economy, including a time frame for their availability.

Part II of our APEC Unconventional Gas Census report provides: (1) a suggested framework, scope and content of an APEC Unconventional Gas Census and relationship to other relevant international and national activities; and (2) recommendations for setting up an APEC Unconventional Gas Census, including scope, content, timing and management responsibility.

Part I: “Evaluating the Potential for Unconventional Gas Resources to Increase Gas Production and Contribute to Reduced CO2 Emissions”.

Part II: “Suggested Framework, Scope, and Content for an APEC Unconventional Gas Census and Recommended Follow-on Supporting Activities”.
