Kansas CBM SummaryKansas CBM Summary• Expect CBM Production Increase to Continue • Continued Exploration Expected
– Extent Dependent on Outcome of Pilots› Geological Survey Working to Provide Information
– Northward Spread– Significant Impact on SE Kansas Economy– Potential Significant Impact on Kansas Economy
• A Substantial Boost in US Supplies will take Time– US Market Controls Kansas Gas Price – Kansas is Vulnerable to Energy Price Spikes
