It can be seen that some countries are more gas intensive than others (e.g. Ukraine, Argentina, Ukraine and Italy).Natural gas is the predominant fuel carried in all these countries with the exceptions of Kazakhstan and India, where there are higher proportions of crude oil and other products. India has little natural gas of its own and currently imports very little in comparison to its size. Kazakhstan happens to have much larger crude oil reserves than natural gas reserves (although in context the crude oil reserves are still only half the size of those in Russia). The USA, Russia, Canada, China and Ukraine together account for over 60% of all transmission pipelines worldwide.The 18 countries listed account for 80% of all transmission pipeline length worldwide, leaving 20 divided between all other countries, of which a further 107 countries have pipeline networks large enough to be measured. A further 68 countries (those with very low economic development and minimal GDP) have no recorded pipelines.These represent very long term potential. After the USA, Russia is second by pipeline length.Russia is also the world’s largest exporter of natural gas and has a highly developed natural gas network in order to do so. Canada is third.The country has high levels of per capita consumption of natural gas and oil, and a well developed pipeline network. China is 4th by current pipeline length.China is currently using under 5% of the world average natural gas consumption on a per capital basis.Oil consumption is around 60% of the world average and natural gas consumption only 23% of the world average.Much of the growth in China will relate to natural gas, which tends to require higher grades of steel.Chinese linepipe suppliers are already reflecting this. Ukraine is 5th by pipeline length.The country has good reserves of gas and much is exported.Argentina is next, with a very large onshore natural gas network and significant gas reserves. Argentina is followed by the UK which has a large offshore pipeline network as a result of developments in the North Sea. Iran follows, then Mexico.Both have large onshore pipeline networks and smaller proportions offshore. 6 • Metal Bulletin Sample Pages • metalbulletinresearch.com See www.metalbulletinresearch.com for more information 85 86 Metal Bulletin Sample Pages • metalbulletinresearch.com • 7 See www.metalbulletinresearch.com for more information
