Estimates of future potential natural gas supplies in U.S. stood at a record 324 Tcf at the end of 2016 , 12% of which is shale, according to a biennial report conducted by PGC ( PGC ). "But do we have the technical, economic and policy will to produce it?" Technically recoverable natural gas volumes rose 12% since the end of 2014 to a record 2,817 Tcf. Proven gas reserves were 324 Tcf. Traditional gas resources, including conventional, tight sand, carbonate and shale reservoirs, accounted for 2,658 Tcf of the technically recoverable volumes, while coalbed methane made up the remaining 2,658 Tcf.
