The article specifies that the network for transporting the natural gas in Eastern Romania must operate in stable, safe and economic-efficiency conditions of infrastructure which ensures a continuous supply of gaseous fuel. The paper reveals conceptual and practical problems related to the...

The current article claims that the recent changes taking place in the EU gas market, and namely internal market drive and security of supply concerns, have a significant impact upon the process of natural gas odorization. The latter did not represent significant problems in previously...

Unconventional oil and gas production using hydraulic fracturing generates significant quantities of wastewater that may contain potentially harmful pollutants. The concerns associated with shale gas development necessitate an investigation of shale gas water and wastewater management using a...

Following the successful implementation of the oil strategy, Azerbaijan began to define strategic objectives in relation to gas export policy. Currently, Azerbaijan is the only country in the region exporting gas to the international markets (Turkey, Russia, Georgia). For this reason, it is seen...

Multiple gas dependencies have evolved in terms of imports (sources), exports (markets) and transit of gas, both among the post-Soviet countries as well as between the post-Soviet countries and countries outside the post-Soviet space. To a significant extent, these dependencies are based on the...

This paper traces the process of deregulation in the US natural gas market in the 1970s and 1980s and the restructuring of the gas market in the 1990s. I review the politics behind deregulation and the actions of the FPC and FERC to first regulate the market and then implement the Natural Gas...

We address investment in regulated natural gas pipelines when investment is lumpy and the demand for gas is stochastic. This is a problem that can be solved in theory as a dynamic program, but a practical solution depends on functions and parameters that are either subjective or cannot be...

Natural gas plays an important role in the future development of electricity markets as it is the least emission intensive fossil generation option while additionally providing the needed flexibility in plant operation to deal with intermittent renewable generation. As both the electricity and...

Over the period 2015–2050 the consumption of natural gas of European OECD countries is expected to grow more than the consumption of any other energy source. Although these countries are interconnected and in most cases share a common currency, their wholesale national gas markets are highly...
