Graduate student Justin Montgomery was invited to speak at the Energy Forecasting Forum, a monthly lecture series by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Montgomery and Francis O’Sullivan, the Director of Research for the MIT Energy Initiative, presented the methodology and findings of their paper “Spatial variability of tight oil well productivity and the impact of technology,” to inform the EIA about how they can incorporate the research into their modeling and forecasting of shale gas and tight oil production trends.
