His researchfocus is on unconventional fuels, primarily shale gas and tight oil, but also coalbed methaneand other unconventional sources, including oil sands, coal gasification and gas hydrates.Hughes is currently President of Global Sustainability Research Inc, a consultancy dedicatedto research on energy and sustainability issues. Clients include a range of energy companies,investment firms and non-profits.Hughes has published widely in the scientific literature and his work has been featured inNature, The Economist, LA Times, Bloomberg, USA Today and Canadian Business, as well asother press, radio, and television. Most recently he published Drilling Deeper: A Reality Checkon U.S. Government Forecasts of a Lasting Shale Gas and Tight Oil Boom, which is an in-depthreview of major U.S. shale gas and tight oil plays, including forecasts of future production.This was preceded by Drilling California: A Reality Check on the Monterey Shale, which criticallyexamined the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) estimates of technically recoverabletight oil in the Monterey Shale, and predicted the subsequent 96% downgrade of tightoil resources. In early 2013, Hughes authored Drill, Baby, Drill: Can Unconventional Fuels Usherin a New Era of Energy Abundance?, which took a far-ranging look at the prospects for variousunconventional fuels to provide energy abundance for the United States in the 21st century.Over the past decade, he has researched and lectured widely on global energy and sustainabilityissues in North America and internationally.
