Management of British oil and gas company BG Group Plc. supposes that in order to satisfy demand for gas till the end of current decade world gas industry is to implement new investment projects, the total sum of which should amount to at least 2 trn. dollars.
Martin Houston, Managing Director of BG Group Plc., has stated that supply is the major problem, not demand, and this will follow gas industry in global scale. He has concluded that information about the whole world almost swimming in gas is far from real. According to Martin Houston, China will be the first to fix demand for gas in short-term perspective; by the end of 2020 this may amount to 11 percent annually.
IEA, International Energy Agency, predicts that by 2015 the USA will become the first in the rate of gas recovery, leaving Russia behind. Let us remind that Russian Ministry of Economy has acknowledged the fact that since 2016 Gasprom may experience problems with import of gas into Europe; by this time America will already have an opportunity to export fuel. The Agency’s analysts suppose that Russia lost its leadership in world gas market already in 2009.
