The natural gas market is currently undergoing a period of rapid transition, marked by a significant boom in gas production. Technological advances such as directional well drilling and hydraulic fracturing have considerably increased gas production in North America, where abundant gas supplies have pushed down gas prices. Many companies operating in the region have seen strong growth in their gas output in recent years, though the continued low price of gas in North America is creating challenges for companies.

Meanwhile, 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 gas markets more open and competitive than was previously envisaged, ensuring that companies need to seek ways to stay ahead of their rivals.

Escalating demand for natural gas - particularly 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 the leading natural gas companies, along with companies currently outside the top 20 list. This report examines the largest gas producers in the market at present and their expected rates of growth, as well as their geographical focus and future plans.

What makes this report unique?

The report analyses the top 20 companies in the natural gas market in 2013, showing their revenues, gas development and LNG infrastructure projects, gas production market share, strengths and weaknesses, opportunities for growth and threats imposed on their operations, the type and location of projects, as well as an assessment of each company's future outlook.

BG Group is involved in Tanzania’s gas development having discovered 10tcf. BG Group also gained access to new exploration licences in Egypt, India, Trinidad and Tobago and Uruguay, and was continuing its drilling operations off the coast of Brazil. BG Group is expecting to drill in Kenya in 2014 and Uruguay in 2016. BG Group is slated to have 15 FPSOs in operation in Brazil by 2018 with an anticipated output of 2.1mmboe/d and gas processing capacity of 3.0bcf/d. Since 2008 the expansion in US gas production has offset the fall in UK, Egypt and Indian gas production.

Anadarko Petroleum is a growing oil and gas producing company. One of the most notable gas discoveries of the company is the giant gas fields off the coast of Mozambique. The recoverable gas reserves in the Rovuma basin are estimated to be between 35-65tcf (1.0tcm-1.82tcm). Further gas discoveries were made in Mid-2012 with Golfinho and Atum gas fields holding around 30tcf (850bcm). Anadarko has a 36.5% stake in these field developments.

The most economic way of monetising gas discoveries off the coast of Mozambique is thought to be by building an LNG liquefaction terminal to export the gas to high gas demand regions of the world. Hence, the Palma LNG project is a concept that Anadarko, along with its partners Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (ENH), Mitsui and Cove Energy, are considering to build. The first phase of this project will provide a 5.0mtpa LNG liquefaction capacity, costing around $4.0bn. Anadarko also has exploration concessions in Ghana, Brazil, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Cote d’Ivoire, New Zealand, Indonesia, and other countries.
