Abstract

Worldwide demand and supply of natural gas may rise substantially between the years 1982 and 2000, but the rate of increase will decelerate after 1990. The rapid growth of potential demand in the first decade is expected to take place in the developing countries in particular. During this period, gas production potential will rise most rapidly in Eastern Europe (including the U.S.S.R.) and in the Third World countries of Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. In the year which has passed since the Venice Conference, forecasts of future natural gas demand in Western Europe have been reduced from 300–350 × 109 m3 (in the year 2000) to 270 × 109 m3. This change has greatly diminished the expected need for gas imports into Western Europe. It has also had a positive effect on the reserve position, relative to anticipated demand, of the Netherlands, which now will consider making more gas available for Western European markets.
