For decades, most analysts and policymakers have argued that the US policy in the Middle East has largely been driven by Washington's -- and the world's -- need for oil and natural gas supplies from the region. In the last few years, technological advances -- the so-called shale revolution -- have drastically changed the US' energy outlook.

This essay seeks to examine the strategic implications of these new dynamics on Washington's policy in the Middle East and how oil and gas producers in the region are reacting.
