Abstract
Introduction
- This report describes the gas industry and outlines the utility structure in every gas consuming or producing country
- The report is one of a three part package providing a comprehensive industry, marketing and statistical portrait of the global gas industry
The three components are:
- 1. Gas Supply Industries and Utilities of the World Report Ed 8 2006, a 241 page outline of the gas industry and utility structure in each gas country (PDF)
- 2. GasStats Ed 1 2006, a comprehensive set of 40 series of statistics for the gas sector (Excel)
- 3. Gas Companies Database Ed 2 2006, a database of 2,977 gas utilities for every gas country (Excel)
- Consumption of gas is increasing and some governments have made the decision to promote its use in their energy mix, although the doubling in price in the last year means that it is no longer a cheap alternative
Gas Supply Industries and Utilities of the World Report Ed 8 2006
- This report contains an overview and a detailed description of the industry in every gas country, with statistics of production, consumption and trade movements
- The report addresses new developments in the gas market, as other forms of gas gain market share
- Use of LNG is increasing rapidly as consuming countries seek to diversify their sources of supply for energy security, and to tap markets inaccessible by pipeline. The report provides details of production, consumption and trade in LNG. The accompanying GasStats, a new database published by ABS, provides information on LNG export liquifaction terminals and import re-gasification terminals
- Also covered are the growing markets for LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or Autogas, used domestically and to power vehicles, CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), also used to power vehicles in a number of countries and rapidly growing in popularity. CNG is gaining attention as a product from the large fields in stranded gas, gas which is located in fields which are difficult to exploit
GasStats Ed 1 2006
- For the first time ABS has drawn together basic data of the world gas markets from proprietary ABS sources and combined these with official statistics of Natural Gas, LNG and LPG to provide a statistical portrait of the gas sector in every country
- ABS GasStats contains data from proprietary ABS databases compiled from original research, as well as data for natural gas, LNG and PLG from a variety of national and international official published sources
- ABS GasStats contains 40 sets of data, 36 sets of snapshot data for the year 2005 and four historical series from 1965/1970/1980 to 2005 for the gas sectors of 179 countries
- Market statistics about the gas industry, number of gas customers, numbers of utilities by function, transmission and distribution pipeline lengths
- Operational and technical industry statistics of Natural Gas, LNG, and LPG
- Economic and population statistics
- Statistical data for each country
Gas Companies Database Ed 2 2006
- A database of 2,977 gas utilities classified by function, with name, address, telephone and fax numbers (where available)
