CONT

[...] antes de 1978, el gas que se había descubierto a profundidades importantes en la cuenca de Anadarko (EE. UU.) no se producía porque no era económicamente rentable. Se trataba por tanto de gas no convencional. Sin embargo, una serie de medidas fiscales aprobadas por la administración incentivaron la exploración, [el] desarrollo y [la] producción de dicho gas, por lo que pasó de gas no convencional a gas convencional.
