WORLD GAS DEMAND TO HIT 116 TCF BY 2010

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 Corporation, 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. Further details of this world growth in natural-gas consumption are provided in this article, along with comments on U.S. energy consumption and natural-gas demand growth, future U.S. natural-gas use by industry, forecasts of U.S. natural-gas use for power generation, trends in world gas demand, gas movements (global natural-gas pipeline construction and new LNG projects), global gas resources, and the outlook for gas prices.
