The United States has enough natural gas to wean itself off oil from the Middle East in 10 years, Chesapeake Energy Corp. CEO Aubrey McClendon said Wednesday.

McClendon said the key is finding new uses for the country’s abundance supply of natural gas.

“We have created a natural gas supply revolution in the U.S.,” he said at the Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association’s Wildcatter Wednesday luncheon. “Now we have presented our country’s leaders and our country’s business people with options that they’ve never had before.

“We’ve never been able to approach problems with the idea that gas is abundant.”
