精英逆袭,达人战胜专家的年代

埃克森美孚也没能关注页岩气开采――尽管该公司位于德克萨斯州欧文(Irving)的总部正下方就是一个最终开掘出天然气的巨大页岩层。该公司后来以310亿美元收购了一家规模较小、开创页岩气开采先河的公司。

'I would be less than honest if I were to say to you [that] we saw it all coming, because we did not, quite frankly,' Rex Tillerson, Exxon Mobil's chairman and CEO said last year in an interview at the Council on Foreign Relations.

埃克森美孚董事长兼首席执行长雷克斯?蒂勒森(Rex Tillerson)去年在美国外交关系委员会接受采访时表示：“如果我对大家说，我们预计到了页岩气时代的来临，那我就太不诚实了，因为坦率地说我们并没有预见到。”

In 2003, Alan Greenspan warned that the nation's gas fields were running dry and urged Congress to back costly facilities to import gas. Famed investors Warren Buffett and Henry Kravis invested in a record-setting utility-company buyout in 2007, wagering that a dearth of U.S. natural gas would send prices higher. Instead, the U.S. has so much cheap natural gas today that it is set to export it. The country is also pumping 7.9 million barrels of oil a day, up more than 50% since 2006 and the most in nearly 25 years.

2003年，格林斯潘警告称，美国的天然气田即将枯竭，他敦促国会支持兴建昂贵的设施以进口天然气。著名投资者沃伦?巴菲特和亨利?克拉维斯(Henry Kravis) 2007年对一桩价格创纪录的公共事业公司股权收购交易进行了投资，他们押注美国天然气的紧缺会推高价格。但事实却是，美国如今拥有大量便宜的天然气，不仅能满足国内需求，而且有望出口。此外，美国一天可产790万桶石油，较2006年增产逾50%，为近25年来最高水平。
