When discussing oil, the Middle East immediately comes to mind. It is at the core of multiple current events occurring in the world, politically, religiously, economically, and in the energy market; therefore, it is no surprise that at the Platt’s Global Crude Oil Summit, there will be a session dedicated solely to core trends in […]
Among all other energy resources, natural gas has the longest list of promises to fulfill. Promises of affordable fuel have been given to the power sector, the chemical industry, manufacturers, the transportation industry, and anybody who needs to heat space. I wrote about factors supporting this demand a year and a half ago; ironically, not […]
France has the second largest economy in Europe and the fifth largest economy in the world. As France produces very little domestic energy, it relies heavily on imports from bordering countries to meet the majority of its natural gas demands (EIA). But is it really necessary? France is currently the fourth largest consumer of natural […]
As conventional oil and gas become less available, countries tend to fulfill their energy needs via other unconventional sources. And, when it comes to natural sources, such as oil and gas, shale oil and gas is one of the major resources that is going to change the rules of the game. A study by Wood […]
It’s no secret that the recent boom in Shale Gas and in gas production in general is set to increase the supply of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to Asia. However at the recent Argus LPG Asia 2013 event in Singapore, those of us lucky enough to be in attendance had the opportunity to discuss the finer detail of […]
O Jogo Bonito” (The Beautiful Game) and “O mais grande do mundo” (the world’s biggest) are some words that define Brazil. They crafted the beautiful game and they built the world’s second largest hydroelectric dam. And, while for some “futebol” (soccer) lovers Brazil may still be an enigma for the next World Cup (it just […]
There’s no doubt about it – the shale gas boom of recent years is creating a paradigm shift in the North American energy industry. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has uncovered a wealth of natural gas that has the industry in a tizzy over the potential development of an enormous new market: the natural gas transportation […]
The African gas industry has historically been centered in North Africa, with Algeria alone supplying 25 percent of the European Union’s natural gas imports. In the past two years, however, Africa’s eastern coast has emerged with the most discoveries of gas and oil worldwide. Continuing in our five-part series on the emergence of global gas […]
Natural gas has been a hot topic on the news for reasons rather unorthodox—low prices and expectation of an overwhelming abundance of natural gas resulting from technological achievements in shale gas recovery (improved hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling). Fueled by the US government’s expectations of a supply of natural gas to last nearly 100 years, […]
Do you remember the time when the natural gas outlook, especially on the supply side, was, let’s say … a bit less surprising than now? Natural gas was a truly local commodity with well-defined storage capacity, transportation system and proven reserves. Do you remember when major disruptions arose from pipeline damages of different kinds and you were watching hurricanes developing in Atlantic?
