What we know about natural gas … Environmentally friendly Widely available in certain regions Lower in price than crude oil More difficult to distribute than crude oil Shale gas has changed the industry More gas than crude oil produced in Norway Norway uses very little natural gas “Petroleum” in Norway means oil and gas Other aspects?
Outline World economy runs on fossil fuels Associated and non-associated gas Natural gas has low emissission Statistics for resources, production and consumption Reserves and production (BP 2012) R/P ratio, world, regions, Norway Trade, gas prices and electricity generation Golden age of gas (IEA 2010) Gas grows twice as fast as total energy…

Fatih Birol, International Energy Agency 23 June 2013, The Financial Times US emissions of CO2, the gas that scientists say is mainly responsible for climate change, have been in decline since 2007, and last year hit their lowest level since 1994, according to the government’s Energy Information Administration. However Fatih Birol, chief economist at the International Energy Agency, a Paris-based think-tank backed by 28 governments, said last week the decline was principally a result of US power generators switching away from coal and towards gas, which typically creates about half as much CO2 when burnt for an equivalent output of electricity.

Summary World economy runs almost entirely on fossil fuels (gas more than coal 2030 and eventually more than oil) Gas reserves have increased over 20 % the last ten years. Year-to-year affected by economic crisis Only 25 % of reserves outside the Middle East and Europe and Eurasia (mainly Russia) R/P world about 60, Norway about 20 LNG strong growth, now 30 % of world trade Price in range of 0.8-2.3 NOK/Sm3 (range 3x)
