Will US shale gas spoil the offshore party?

During the Offshore Energy 2012 Industry Panel, Vincent Oomes, Partner, Deloitte, argued that the offshore industry was set to reach an all time high in 2012.

In this column, Oomes investigates the impact of LNG exports from the US on upstream investments around the globe – what will the rise of shale gas mean for offshore projects on the drawing board?
