Natural gas is a vital source of energy in most of the countries in the industrialized world. While the use of natural gas is not new however, it is only recently that methods for obtaining natural gas, bringing it to the surface, and putting it to use were developed. Earlier, natural gas was mostly used as a source of light, as without a pipeline infrastructure, it was difficult to transport the gas very far, or into homes to be used for heating or cooking.

Natural gas is a vital source of energy in most of the countries in the industrialized world. The use of natural gas is nothing new to us. In fact, most of the natural gas available to us today, is millions and millions of years old. However, it was not until recently that methods for obtaining natural gas, bringing it to the surface, and putting it to use were developed.

As we entered the 21st century, with continued population increases, economic growth and individual energy consumption, we are facing a unique and far-reaching challenge of energy crisis. Furthermore, emissions from various energy sources are contributing to climate change. This has led to the need for alternative energy technologies which are promising but will take some time for them to become cost-effective and widely available.

The global energy industry has explored many options to meet the growing energy needs of industrialized economies wherein production demands are to be met with supply of power from varied energy resources worldwide. There has been a clearer realization of the finite nature of oil resources and the ever higher pushing demand for energy. The world has yet to stabilize on the complex geopolitical undercurrents which influence the oil and gas production as well as supply strategies globally.

Aruvian Research’s report – Analyzing the Natural Gas Industry in United States - analyzes the scope of American natural gas production and consumption. In view of understanding natural gas transactions, the report studies the revenue returns for investors in natural gas channels which manifest themselves in American energy demand and supply dynamics.

Further, the report builds a comprehension of the energy dynamics derived from Natural Gas sources. The delivery mechanisms of the sources as natural gas i.e. pipelines make a difference in the overall cost equation for which the report describes the major natural gas pipelines in the United States. Analyzing the industry trends, the growth drivers, the strengths and weaknesses of this industry, industry statistics and forecast, trends in natural gas transportation and storage, import/export situation, etc. The report covers the complete developments in the US natural gas industry.

Leading players in the industry are also profiled in the report.
