(EnergyAsia, April 22, Tuesday) — The book contains 30 articles that examine new supplies including unconventional sources of gas, hydrates and coal-bed methane, Nabucco and Nord Stream pipelines as well as LNG, LPG and gas-to-liquids.

The book which includes world gas reserves and production statistics and a global gas map also analyses the likely demand in various markets around the world. It discusses issues related to financing, gas storage, the environment, and global warming.

The world gas trade is changing rapidly as a result of Asia’s fast growing demand, strong prospects in the Atlantic Basin and the emergence of new players from Asia, Europe and North America.

These developments require greater trade flexibility and interactions between the independent markets in the Atlantic and Pacific basins. With the increased demand, there is heightened concern over supply security.
