  The success of the U.S. energy renaissance has been due to a wide array of elements, and some of those elements have also put the U.S. ahead of the rest of the world in terms of shale gas production. This advantage won't hold forever, though, and several companies are looking to get in on the ground floor in some of these newer shale plays. Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-A  ) plans to spend $1 billion a year to develop shale gas in China as part of aproductionsharing agreement with China National Petroleum, and 6% of Apache's (NYSE: APA  ) total petroleum production comes from shaledepositsin Argentina.
