2008 was a year split almost neatly in twoin the energy world - prices and demand rose inexorably into early July 2008, only to see dramatic falls as the depth and spread of the global recession became apparent. The gas industry was not immune from these pressures, and gas markets have seen arguably greater price falls than oil, continuing well into 2009.
As in previous Natural Gas Market Reviews, we remain concerned from a long-term perspective about investment throughout the gas value chain, in upstream production, processing,  efaction, pipeline transport and interconnection, and storage. While 2008 saw some progress in all areas, and a major expansion of LNG capacity is underway globally, overall investment continues to be inadequate, and the next years promise to be especially diffi cult, with falling demand and prices weakening all producers’ cash fl ows, and fi nancing conditions becoming tougher in both debt and equity markets. Regulatory uncertainties continue to slow investment.
