It discusses the extent to which the two price series are linearly correlated and evaluates the statistical properties of two simple price relationships—the actual difference and the percent difference. The results of the analysis indicate that there is a strong linear relationship between the two price series pages: 5, released: July 2002, periodicity: One-time, contact: Philip Budzik (202)586-28477 The Effects of Alaska Oil and Natural Gas Provisions of H.R. 4 and S 1766 on U.S. Energy Markets - (also available in printer-friendly version Forecast Analysis - These reports respond to a request received from Senator Frank Murkowski on December 20, 2001 to analyze the impact of the Alaskan oil and natural gas provisions of H.R. 4 and S. 1766.

To meet this demand producers will increasingly rely on production from unconventional gas such as tight sands, coalbed methane, and gas shales. Because of the technical difficulties inherent with developing such resources, technology will necessarily play a vital role in their future pages: 21, released: August 2000, periodicity: One-time, contact: Ted McCallister (202)586-4820 Issues in Midterm Analysis and Forecasting 1999 - Employment Trends in Oil and Gas Extraction Forecast Analysis - This report includes a series of eight papers which cover topics in analysis and modeling that underlie the Annual Energy Outlook 1999, as well as other significant issues in midterm energy markets Released: September 1999, Periodicity: One-time, Contact: James Kendell (202) 586-9646 Issues in Midterm Analysis and Forecasting 1998 - Measures of Oil Import Dependence Forecast Analysis - This report includes a series of nine papers which cover topics in analysis and modeling that underlie the Annual Energy Outlook 1998, as well as other significant issues in midterm energy markets Released: July 1998, Periodicity: One-time, Contact: James Kendell (202) 586-9646 more Natural Gas Analysis...
