摘 要：Asian public institutional equity investors are turning their attention to North American oil and gas opportunities for attractive growth and returns, following in the footsteps of their private investment counterparts. When more exports of US LNG from the shale-gas production boom are allowed, China and the rest of northern Asia could benefit from much cheaper gas. Rising operating costs continued to become a barrier to oil and gas company growth despite the industry’s rapid expansion. Asia’s economic growth is restricted by its huge dependence on foreign imports of oil and gas.
