Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the Western European natural gas market and discusses its future development. Price data are presented. Current utilization is evaluated and projection of future consumption of natural gas by market sectors is given. The factors effecting future demand for natural gas as well as those effecting price are evaluated. The author concludes that it is unlikely that natural gas reserves indigenous to Western Europe will be sufficient to meet future demands. Importation of natural gas from outside the area will be necessary. Potential natural gas exporters to Western Europe are identified. Cet article présente une vue d'ensemble du marché du gaz naturel de l'Europe occidentale et étudie ses possibilités de développement. II donne également des indications sur l'évolution des prix. De plus, il passe en revue son usage courant ainsi que les tendances de sa consommation future par marchés sectoriels. L'article étudie aussi les facteurs affectant la demande future de même que ceux affectant les prix. L'auteur conclut qu'il est peu probable que les réserves de gaz naturel domestique de l'Europe occidentale soient suffisantes pour répondre à la demande future. L'importation du gaz naturel apparaît donc comme une nécessité. Enfin, les exportateurs éventuels de gaz naturel à destination de l'Europe occidentale sont répertoriés. Este artículo presenta una visión general del mercado de gas natural en Europa Occidental y analiza su desarrollo futuro. Se presenta información sobre precios y se evalúa la utilización presente y proyección futura del consumo de gas natural por sectores. Se evalúa también los factores que afectan la demanda y precios futuros del gas. El autor concluye que es improbable que el gas natural de Europa Occidental sea suficiente para cubrir la demanda futura de gas. La importación de gas será por tanto necesaria. En el artículo se identifican los exportadores potenciales de gas natural destinado a Europa Occidental.
