This new report, The 20 Leading Companies in the Natural Gas Market 2013: Competitive Landscape Analysis, profiles the major players in the natural gas market, analysing their current involvement in the market and assessing their future prospects.

The lead analyst of the report commented that: ‘The natural gas market is currently undergoing a period of rapid transition, driven by differing gas prices on different continents, escalating global energy demand, ageing gas fields and technological developments. With the rapid expansion of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) over the past decade, trade of gas through intercontinental LNG tankers has expanded and the industry is no longer just dependent on land based pipelines. This has made markets more open and competitive than was previously envisaged. Meanwhile, the North American shale gas boom has added to the competition and many companies have seen strong growth in their gas output in recent years. Escalating demand for natural gas in Asia and a desire on the part of many countries to switch from coal to cleaner burning gas are also important trends currently providing plentiful opportunities for companies involved in the gas industry.’

The report contains 125 tables, charts and graphs that add visual analysis in order to explain developing trends in the natural gas market and the position of the leading 20 companies within the sector. This report provides revenues (US$) and CAPEX and market share figures for the leading 20 natural gas companies in 2012 and 2013, as well as analysing longer term prospects for each company. A SWOT analysis is provided for each of the leading 20 natural gas companies, in addition to analysis of the size of gas output (average mmcf/d), reserve replacement ratios, size of developed and undeveloped reserves (bcf), and major prospective projects operated by each company.
