Overview
Secure and reliable access to gas as a prime energy source is a key issue for developed and developing economies.
The growing importance of gas as a prime energy source is being driven by changes in global attitudes towards climate response and the emergence of world economies from the impacts of the GFC. Countries with sufficient gas reserves to support investment in LNG and ready access to LNG markets are becoming increasingly attractive to investors. Governments in these countries are faced with the dual challenges of ensuring sufficient gas is available to their own economies, at a price that sustains global competitiveness, whilst also maximising essential revenues available through royalties and resource rent taxation derived from gas exploration, production and export.
The structure of competition and regulation across the entire value chain is fundamental to the commercial and social dividends available to stakeholders. Marchment Hill Consulting is working with our clients to influence market structures and develop strategic responses.
