Global Industry Overview
The Report starts with an overview of global gas reserves, supply and demand, and the future growth potential of the international gas industry. As more stranded gas deposits become exploitable through advances in extraction and transportation technology, BMI evaluates long-term supply growth potential in the market. This is weighed against demand growth underpinned by the worldwide trend of shifting from oil- to gas-fired power stations, the growing use of gas in EOR processes and unconventional crude production and global efforts to reduce gas flaring.

Gas & LNG 4-year Forecast for 10 Middle East & African Markets
The 2008 Middle East & Africa Gas & LNG Report features BMI’s independent 4-year forecast for oil and natural gas reserves, supply and demand, covering 23 key indicators including production, consumption, value of gas and LNG exports/cost of imports in base case, high and low scenario.
Our forecast reveals how impressive MEA gas supply growth of 65% between 2007-2012 will outstrip demand expansion of 57%, with net exports set to rise to 291bcm by 2012. It also shows why the leading LNG exporter by 2012 will be Qatar (+222% from 2006), thanks to its many IOC-partnered schemes, with growing volumes from Egypt, Iran, Libya and Algeria. Regional revenues from gas exports are set to reach US$89.4bn by 2012.
The 2008 Middle East & Africa Gas & LNG Report goes on to explain how growing Middle Eastern demand, driven by power generation, desalination, industrial and domestic needs, creates new opportunities for regional infrastructure integration, such as the Dolphin Gas project - one of the largest trans-border energy projects ever undertaken in the Middle East. We also focus on how gas-to-liquids are set to become increasingly important as a complement to the region's established position as a leading global LNG provider.
