The global natural gas industry has experienced an unprecedented period of growth and change, best captured by the International Energy Agency (IEA)s 2011 notion of the Golden Age for Gas. When this book was first planned, it was conceived as an antidote to the tendency to lump the gas industry together with oil when considering geopolitics and energy security. We maintain that the materiality of natural gas as an energy source, and thus its geopolitics, is quite different from that of oil. Even today, the majority of natural gas is consumed within the country where it is produced. Until relatively recently, the vast majority of traded natural gas was moved by pipelines it is only in the last decade or so that the growth of liquefied natural gas (LNG) production and trade has taken flight, to the extent that it will likely rival international pipeline trade sometime in the foreseeable future. However, most natural gas is still traded on a regional basis with regional prices and differences in price formation. In Asia, natural gas prices largely remain indexed to the oil price, although that may change due to market pressures, and institutional reform in key gas-consuming countries. In North America, and to a large extent in the EU, gas prices are formed based on gas-on-gas competition and the interplay between supply and demand. But, as this book explains, the status quo is continuously subject to change. Thanks to the expansion of the LNG trade, regional markets are increasingly linked and developments in one region impact on another. Thus, the price of natural gas in Europe is strongly influenced by the strength of demand in Asia (just as the oil price has traditionally played an important role). Investments in natural gas infrastructure are cyclical in nature. Periods of tight supply and high prices stimulate a new round of investment in production, which, depending on how demand responds to lower prices, may result in a period of over-supply and lower prices when new volumes come to market. As demand absorbs that supply and markets tighten, prices increase, stimulating a new round of investments, and so on.
