Download or read book The Economics of Natural Gas written by DeAnne Julius and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1990 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural gas resembles oil in fulfilling a wide variety of uses as both a source of energy and a feedstock, but the proportion of world production that is traded internationally is very much lower, and insufficient for a world price of gas to be established. This book addresses the issues of how the economic price of gas is determined. These are illustrated with estimates of the costs of exploration and production of gas, and of the benefits to be derived from its use in various economic sectors for a number of Third World countries.
