Natural Gas Information 2009 is the latest edition of
a publication on natural gas that has been produced
annually since 1996. Previously, statistical informa￾tion on natural gas was included in the publication
Oil and Gas Information; however given the in￾creasing importance of natural gas in the world, the
need was seen for a publication dedicated solely to
this energy source.
The report is intended to provide both energy policy
makers and those employed in all sectors of the gas
industry with information on current natural gas
trends and prospects.
Natural Gas Information 2009 brings together in
one volume the basic statistics compiled by the IEA
on natural gas supply and demand. It also includes
information on prices, storage capacity, LNG versus
pipeline trade, LNG terminals and ports as well as
maps on the distribution network in OECD countries
