For example, decreased US demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) has allowed gas prices to come down in Europe. European utilities’ bargaining power vis-à-vis Russian gas giant Gazprom has risen considerably – despite long-term oil-indexed supply contracts.
在欧洲，页岩能源资源基本上都位于地下。尽管如此，大西洋两岸的页岩革命仍有极大不同。比如，美国液化天然气需求的下降导致欧洲气价降低。欧洲发电厂对俄罗斯天然气巨头Gazprom的议价能力也获得了极大的提高——尽管长期石油指数化（oil-indexed）供给有所减少。
