Natural Gas

The abundance of natural gas in North America, and its clean-burning, climate-friendly nature, has made natural gas a fuel of choice for electricity generation, closing in on coal as a baseload fuel for electricity production. At the same time, the location of new-found natural gas basins is completely changing the dynamics of a marketplace accustomed to single direction flows of natural gas from production basins in the mid-continental and offshore Gulf of Mexico to northeastern places of consumption. The complexity of natural gas trading has never been greater. Nor the risks.

​
