The wider use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has unleashed a vast supply of natural gas from the shale-rock formations across the U.S., forcing down domestic prices, cutting the need for overseas imports and making gas-exporting nations in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean a less important piece in the U.S. energy puzzle.
Oil and natural gas are often found alongside one another, making it completely logical that the oil companies would be making hefty investments in shale gas.
