Book ·
OSTI ID:6876058

Recent oil market events and economic conditions are integrated with natural gas developments in this regional report. Present and future policy options available to gas consumers and producers are examined in the light of their implications for international gas trade and energy security. The Asia-Pacific Region profiles seven countries: Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Australia, Thailand and China. Issues evaluated include: consequences of falling oil prices for natural gas utilization and trade; country debt and other economic conditions impeding production and consumption; interfuel substitution and price trends; duration of natural gas and oil surpluses; and energy security. This report is the first in the ICEEDS' most recent multiclient natural gas study.
