ScottMadden Issues a Special Natural Gas-Focused Energy Industry Update

Dec. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- ScottMadden, Inc., one of North America’s leading energy consulting firms, recently released The Energy Industry Update (Natural Gas Edition). This is a variation of our traditional, semi-annual publication and features our view of significant events and emerging trends in the natural gas industry.

This issue looks at strategic topics that are topping natural gas industry news. The continued development of North American gas resources and the search for a home for that supply continue to affect the power, manufacturing, and transportation industries as well as the gas industry itself. “The shale gas revolution in the United States is triggering structural changes in the markets for natural gas,” said Ed Baker, a partner in ScottMadden’s natural gas practice. “However, the industry will have to continue to focus on security of that supply, safety of its delivery, and reasonable prices while minimizing price volatility and overreliance on this particular energy source.”

This special edition also includes discussion of the following topics:

• Shale gas and its continuing effects on natural gas prices
• The debate over whether the United States can, or should, become the “Saudi Arabia of Natural Gas”
• The outlook for natural gas vehicles
• The aging of our nation’s gas transmission and distribution pipelines
