Gas Pipeline Infrastructure Market Analysis

The natural gas market is highly dynamic and requires liquidity, flexibility, and transparency to function effectively. Therefore, multiple sources of supply, multiple users, and a comprehensive infrastructure for transmission and distribution are required. The natural gas market is significantly developed in the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific, which is expected to drive the growth of the gas pipeline infrastructure with the rise in demand for gas in the future.

Gas Pipeline Infrastructure Market Overview

The gas pipeline infrastructure ecosystem includes the production phase, where natural gas is extracted from underground reservoirs. Exploration and production companies employ drilling technologies to extract raw natural gas. Once extracted, the gas is typically processed to remove impurities and then compressed for transportation. The production phase involves considerations of geological factors, extraction technologies, and environmental impact assessments. The primary players engaged in the production of natural gas are Royal Dutch Shell, ExxonMobil Corporation, Gazprom, ConocoPhillips, and TotalEnergie. The key players in the gas pipeline transmission network include Kinder Morgan Inc., Enbridge Inc., TC Energy Corporation, Pembina Pipeline Corporation, and Texas Gas Transmission LLC, among others.

Gas Pipeline Infrastructure Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increase in energy demand across the globe is Expected to be the Prime Driver for the Gas Pipeline Infrastructure Market

The rising population and growing urbanization are a few factors boosting the consumption of energy worldwide. Natural gas has the potential application in electricity generation, which boosts its demand. Furthermore, due to the increasing energy uncertainties in Europe owing to the Russia-Ukraine war, governments of several countries are also boosting the application of natural gas. Thus, the increase in energy demand fuels the growth of the gas pipeline infrastructure market.

Rise in Shale Gas Production in North America

North America has secured its position as one of the leading shale gas producers worldwide. Canada is the fifth-largest producer and fourth-largest exporter of natural gas worldwide. The main Canadian shale gas plays include the Horn River Basin and Montney shales in northeast British Columbia, the Utica Shale of Quebec, the Colorado Group of Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the Horton Bluff Shale of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Energy uncertainties owing to geopolitical disturbances are boosting the production of shale gas in North America, which is likely to create major opportunities for the gas pipeline infrastructure market growth in the coming years.
