Promising alternative

The gas-to-wire modular development model is a promising alternative for shale plays in underexplored basins with no access to gas pipeline infrastructure, but with reasonable access to electricity transmission networks. In order for plays fitting this description to be commercial, the cost of gas at the wellhead must be lower than the traded price at the city gate, discounting the cost of monetization.

The model's attractiveness is further strengthened when the required investments are taken into consideration. This is because the proposed model drastically limits the number of wells required to prove up the reserves needed to justify capital expenditure on monetization infrastructure (either pipelines or GTW-related investments).
