World natural-gas consumption will grow by 55% to 116 quadrillion BTUs (quads; 116 tcf or 3,280 billion cu m) by 2010 from 75 quads in 1994. This 55% gas-use growth represents a 41 quad increase in gas use and a 3% annual world gas-use growth rate when averaged over the 16 years to 2010. These are the projections of Enron Corp., Houston, in its recent forecast of world energy trends. Enron revisited its 1993 outlook for North America and expanded the view to include the world natural-gas resource base and global outlook for natural-gas demand through 2010. The paper discusses the methods used in the forecast, world growth, US energy supplies, US industrial and power generation demand for natural gas, world gas demand, gas movements, global gas resources, and the outlook for gas prices.
