Pipeline Industry to 2015 - Energy Demand in Asia Pacific and Uptake of Unconventional Gas Driving Growth Increasing Development of Gas Shale Plays in the US Boosting Pipeline Network Expansions in North America Gas pipeline construction is currently booming, as midstream operators develop capacity to transport natural gas emerging from unconventional plays. This will increase the number of pipeline construction projects to be completed in the coming year and total capacity. The growth of unconventional gas will require pipeline investment in the billions over the next decade.

The North American natural gas industry is expected to witness a steady growth in production from 72.4 Bcf/d in 2008 to 82.1 Bcf/d in 2020, which represents an AAGR of 1.2%. Unconventional natural gas is expected to account for 52% of total production in 2020. In the US, unconventional natural gas already accounts for approximately 50% of production. By 2020, this share is expected to increase to 58%. In Canada, unconventional natural gas production is expected to account for 30% of production in 2002, up from approximately 5% in 2008. This is expected to drive the growth of natural gas pipelines. The rise in crude oil prices over the past few years has garnered increased interest in unconventional crude oil and natural gas reserves like oil sands, shale and coal bed methane. With oil sands found predominantly only in Alberta, Canada, shales – as a source of crude oil and natural gas – has captured the imagination of energy companies in the US. The shales are predominantly organic matter trapped in rocks and unlike conventional resources, they are not present in reservoirs, but in continuous formations. Huge discoveries of shale gas in North America will require transportation of gas to different regions which will boost the North American pipeline industry. GBI Research’s new report, “Pipeline Industry to 2015 – Energy Demand in Asia Pacific and Uptake of Unconventional Gas Driving Growth” provides key information and analysis of the oil, gas and product pipeline industry globally. The report covers the analysis and key statistics on the crude oil, natural gas and petroleum product pipelines. It also covers the geographic analysis on the basis of regions including Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa, North America and South and Central America by each of the pipeline types. It also covers the major pipelines in each of the geographic regions. Market structure, competitive snapshot and profiles of major companies have also been covered in the report.
