SCOPE OF REPORT
The focus of this report is presumably the storage of natural gas, and this theme will be returned to repeatedly in
the course of this project. It is virtually impossible to adhere solely to the original title concerning gas storage. So
long as there is a demand for storage, it must be viewed in the context of the entire natural gas industry and in
some respects the entire energy industry. In some cases it is possible to be drawn far a-field. For example both
natural gas and nuclear energy are used to generate electric power. If the power plant in question uses gas, the
fuel must be stored on site to assure a continuous supply. A comparison of these problems is far outside the
scope of this report.
The real focus of the project looks at two closely related questions: the increase in the use of gas as a
replacement for other energy sources and the increased requirements for the infrastructure required to handle
the increasing demand for natural gas. It must be understood that the demand for and expansion of
infrastructure and for storage facilities is a derived demand. It cannot be discussed in a vacuum, but as a result of
a basic movement in the world energy market from one set of sources to another. Coal consumption for example
will probably not increase significantly in the future and will probably decline. Total energy demand worldwide
will almost certainly increase and the proportion of this increase that will be filled by gas is almost certain to
increase. That in turn implies the almost certain expansion of the requirements for gas storage. This project will
attempt to quantify this increase over the five-year period beginning in 2012 and through 2017/18. It is virtually
certain that the demand for gas and its storage will increase in this period in spite of the questions concerning
global economic growth rates. It seems almost certain that “global GNP” will increase in this period, but exactly
where the growth will occur and what the growth rates will be by area is less than clear.
