Abstract China’s natural gas market is focusing on price reform and aims to reconstruct vertically integrated industrial chains in the future. Based on the mixed complementarity problem model of gas markets with nodes in Henan Province, China, as an example, this paper applies numerical modeling to simulate the effects of social welfare and equilibrium prices on nodes in two scenarios: pipeline integration and pipeline separation. The findings reveal the following: (1) Pipeline separation yields greater overall social welfare than pipeline integration, with the welfare shifting from gas producers to consumption markets. (2) Pipeline separation lowers the equilibrium consumption prices by driving competition among gas supply sources. (3) Pipeline separation will increase the contribution of natural gas to primary energy.

Subject The decision to restart the TurkStream natural gas pipeline from Russia to Turkey. Significance The agreement on August 9 between Russian and Turkish Presidents Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan to resume the TurkStream project relaunches their partnership in the energy sector. This had been frozen as a result of Turkey's shooting down of Russian Su-24 jet last November. Impacts Turkey could start importing up to 15.75 bcm additional natural gas under the Black Sea by 2019. Such a reduced amount compared with the original plan would seem to allow room in the Turkish gas market for rival suppliers. TurkStream could be extended into the EU only if the European Commission and Gazprom compromise on third-party access to the pipeline.

The development of an integrated natural gas pipeline system should be a goal within a national energy policy for Australia. Australia has in excess of 100 years supply of natural gas in the proved and probable category and another 250 years of supply that we can expect to find with reasonable confidence.There are clear indications that if markets can be created or developed, gas producers will respond by establishing reserves to service those markets. A recent example is the rapid increase in proved/probable reserves established in the Amadeus Basin following the Northern Territory Government's interest in constructing a pipeline to Darwin.The Australian Gas Association has taken the view that reserves will be a limiting factor in natural gas development and hence pipeline systems will only be developed to access more remote and expensive fields as the current reserves are depleted. This paper takes the contrary view that natural gas reserves eventuate from market driven policy. That is, if an attractive market is opened to natural gas then reserves will be forthcoming.A number of policy guidelines which would allow the economic development of a national natural gas grid are the key incentives for the explorers.Utilisation of natural gas for the generation of electricity in New South Wales to the extent of 10 per cent of the annual load would enhance the performance of the total electrical system. By providing this substantial natural gas market an economic basis can be provided for the proposed national grid links.For the electrical generation market in New South Wales gas producers should be guaranteed a well head price of say $1.50 to $2.00 a gigajoule for onshore gas.


Share of fossil fuel in India’s primary energy mix is around 92% with natural gas contributing 6% in it. The power, fertilizer and city gas distribution (CGD) sector are the major gas-consuming sector in India. Despite the government efforts to increase the share of natural gas in the primary energy mix, the country still has low per capita gas consumption. In order to enhance natural gas consumption in the country, the Indian government has set up a target to increase natural gas share in the energy mix to 15% by 2022. Therefore, the issue of estimation of the natural gas demand is addressed in the present paper to understand the dynamics of the natural gas market. The error correction model (ECM) is applied at a national and sectoral level to examine the domestic gas demand in India. The study reveals the following findings: (a) At the national and sectoral level, the last year gas consumption is an only statistically significant factor; (b) Price, population and income are not statistically significant at national and sectoral level and (c) Demand for natural gas is price inelastic at the national level

With the growth of the natural gas market, the long distance natural gas pipeline system is getting more and more important in nowadays. As a united and enclosed hydraulic system, the operation conditions of the whole line will be changed by the influence of the condition change in one station. On the one hand, the condition change made people analyze operation scheme more difficult, on the other hand, pipeline system operating conditions directly affect the relationship between the production and the sales of natural gas. Therefore, the operation of the gas pipeline must be optimized, which brings huge economic and social benefits. This paper constructed a simulation model of a long distance natural gas pipeline by TG.net, and then analyzed the change of the operating condition of the pipeline after a compressor station shut down, found out the regularity.

This article examines the practices through which Cambridge Energy Research Associates disseminates natural gas market analysis among senior-level decision makers in the Alaska state government. Cambridge Energy is a global consulting firm that provides knowledge on the future of energy markets. The US natural gas market has recently undergone a revolutionary transformation as a consequence of changing regulation. This has led to expansion in the services of consulting firms such as Cambridge Energy, who produce analysis on the uncertainties affecting the future. In fall 2000, with a rise in energy prices and renewed interest in commercializing Arctic natural gas, Alaska Governor Tony Knowles awarded a contract to Cambridge Energy to assist with market analysis slated to lead to construction of Alaska's natural gas pipeline. Drawing on ethnographic research at key sites of decision making, I show how domestication of analyses in state and news media discourses serves to govern Arctic gas development.

The current situation in the oil, natural gas and coal markets in the Asia-Pacific region has been analyzed by the author. It is shown that the potential for increasing the share of Russian energy resources may be due to the redistribution of the shares of the main suppliers as oil imports diversify, primarily in Japan and the Republic of Korea; in the natural gas market – increasing the volume of pipeline supplies of natural gas to China in accordance with the current long-term contract and the redistribution of Indonesia’s share in the market; in the coal market – the redistribution of Indonesia’s share due to the advantages in coal quality. Price and infrastructure constraints for increasing the supply of Russian energy resources to the Asia-Pacific region have been noted, too
