Analysis of Natural Gas Production
2008
Global Gas Outlook
World natural gas consumption and production are expected to increase by more than 50 percent from 2005 through 2030. Asia is expected to become the world’s number one gas consumer, taking over that spot from North America, as China’s economy grows 6.4 percent annually. Non-OECD countries are expected to account for more than 70 percent of the world’s total growth in consumption and production of natural gas over the forecast period. A significant portion of the non-OECD production growth is expected to be in the form of export projects, particularly LNG projects. World LNG trade is projected to more than double by 2030, with the center of the trade moving away from northeast Asia toward an even Atlantic/Pacific basin split.

Is U.S. natural gas production increasing?
Natural gas production in the Lower 48 States has seen a large upward shift. After 9 years of no net growth through 2006, an upward trend began that generated 3% growth between first-quarter 2006 and first-quarter 2007, followed by an exceptionally large 9% increase between first-quarter 2007 and first-quarter 2008.

Natural Gas Year-In-Review 2007
This report provides an overview of the natural gas industry and markets in 2007 with special focus on the first complete set of supply and disposition data for 2007 from the Energy Information Administration (EIA). The analysis focuses on natural gas end-use consumption trends, natural gas prices, imports and exports of pipeline and liquefied natural gas, the above-average storage inventories in 2007, as well as pipeline expansions during the year.

Natural Gas Processing: The Crucial Link between Natural Gas Production and Its Transportation to Market
This report examines the processing/treatment segment of the natural gas industry. It provides a discussion and an analysis of how the gas processing segment has changed following the restructuring of the natural gas industry in the 1990s and some of the trends that have developed during that time.
