Title: Gas co-ops pose solution, problems

Abstract

Gas co-ops can give smaller producers advantages of scale, but they also will add cost and complexity to the work loads of their members. The biggest argument for co-ops is the economics of scale that large volumes bring. Even with that advantage, gas marketing margins have slimmed considerably, prompting a rash of mergers among the marketing-gathering companies and between producers and pipelines.
