Looking closely at prevailing natural gas statistics for production, consumption, net export capability, and proved reserves of each country provides insight into how various countries' natural gas industries are evolving relative to each other and why. These statistics also help to identify and explain the strategies being pusued by governments and NOCs (national oil and gas companies) in countries where the NOCs control their national industries. This first of two articles concentrates on analysis of these statistics. Reviewing gas and LNG (liquefied natural gas) spark spreads in relation to electricity prices and competing fuels provides insight into the main gas consuming countries. The second, concluding article will focus on recent spark spreads in selected markets and what they reveal about existing and future LNG and gas strategies in those markets.
