Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Christopher Castaneda's study of the construction of the pipelines that transported southwestern gas to the Northeast traces the ways in which the federal regulatory process fostered competitive growth in the natural gas industry." "In 1938, the Natural Gas Act granted the Federal Power Commission jurisdiction over the interstate transmission and sale of natural gas. The FPC used its new powers to guide, shape, and manage an intensely competitive period in the industry. As Castaneda shows, aggressive and politically astute entrepreneurs based in the Southwest took advantage of economic opportunity and a regulatory environment conducive to industry growth. They financed and built the nation's longest gas pipelines to connect the massive southwestern reserves with the major northern energy markets. The coal industry, which supplied the raw product for manufactured gas, and the railroad industry, which transported the coal, adamantly but unsuccessfully opposed the action and attempted to halt the introduction of natural gas into their northeastern markets. First, during the war years, emergency regulatory agencies directed the expansion of the industry into Appalachia. Then, in the ensuing peacetime, market forces prompted entrepreneurs to compete vigorously for regulatory approval to build pipelines to sell natural gas in the Northeast." "While previous studies have examined the development of the natural gas industry after 1954, when the Supreme Court's Phillips decision established the FPC as a regulator of price control rather than as a manager of industrial growth, Castaneda's is the first to examine this earlier entrepreneurial era. Based on exhaustive research in corporate records and government documents, Regulated Enterprise offers a case study of government-business relations during a period of rapid industrial expansion and suggests a new way of looking at federal regulation and competitive growth."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "Along with aviation and telecommunications, the gas supply chain has proved to be one of the paradigmatic factors in the great transformation in regulated industry law that has characterized recent decades. The liberalization in the gas market has taken two primary legal forms: (i) removal of entry barriers in competitive sectors; and (ii) regulation of infrastructure sectors through unbundling (economic separation of competitive and infrastructure sectors), and open access (requiring gas infrastructure owners/operators to allow competitors to access their facilities on commercial terms comparable to those that would apply in a competitive market). This book will focus on the latter legal form. This is the first book to analyze, in a comparative way, the detailed development of the unbundling and open access regimes across three continents. It is the author's contention that these two legal forms should be more widely implemented than they are at present. In each of five substantial chapters - on the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan - the author first focuses on the proposed or current laws and industrial practices on service, account, functional, legal and ownership unbundling and independent system operator, and then on those of different open access regimes (mainly including regulated and negotiated third party access), insofar as they have been developed in each location. Using empirical evidence from Europe, the United States, and Japan that a well-formulated and comprehensive liberalization can bring about more advantages than disadvantages, he shows how well-designed unbundling and open access regimes may accomplish the following : inject much-needed competition into gas exploration, exploitation, import, production, and retailing ; reform and re-regulate non-competitive sectors such as transportation, distribution, and storage ; balance potential conflicts between energy security and competition ; and support interests such as environmental protection, energy rights, safety, and consumer protection. The author attends throughout to the contrasting market situations in countries that rely on importing natural gas by liquefied natural gas tankers (LNG countries), and countries with their natural gas mainly coming from production fields via direct pipelines (PNG countries). Identifying the key legal issues arising from the development of the various unbundling and open access regimes discussed, the book goes on to provide a detailed general legislative framework for gas liberalization that applies especially to LNG countries. The author finds, perhaps surprisingly, that both LNG countries and PNG countries can in fact learn from each other. This book will be a key reference for anyone interested in the legal issues of gas liberalization, and will also provide the international energy community with keen insight into the unbundling and open access regimes in the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Policymakers around the world will discover an excellent framework for launching or improving a gas liberalization scheme."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book examines how China can increase the share of natural gas in its energy system. China’s energy strategy has global ramifications and impact, and central to this strategy is the country’s transition from coal to gas. The book presents the culmination of a two-year collaboration between the Development Research Center of the State Council (DRC) and Shell. With the Chinese government’s strategic aim to increase the share of gas in the energy mix from 5.8% in 2014 to 10% and 15% in 2020 and 2030 respectively, the book outlines how China can achieve its gas targets. Providing both quantifiable metrics and policy measures for the transition, it is a much needed addition to the literature on Chinese energy policy. The research and the resulting recommendations of this study have fed directly into the Chinese government’s 13th Five-Year Plan, and provide unique insights into the Chinese government and policy-making. Due to its global impact, the book is a valuable resource for policy makers in both China and the rest of the world.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent changes in the structure of the U.S. natural gas industry include consolidation of operations among oil and gas producers, a revised role for major interstate natural gas pipelines from merchants to common carriers, emergence of natural gas spot and futures markets, and increased gas-to-gas competition and competition from alternative energy sources. Particularly, FERC Order 636, issued in 1992, directed a sweeping restructuring of the natural gas transmission industry. The FERC's intent was to bring about the final deregulation of the gas industry, creating a market place that would promote competition, give consumers more choices, and provide more efficient and market-sensitive gas supplies and transportation services. As a result, the way of doing business in the U.S. natural gas industry has been permanently changed. Changes in the governmental regulations have affected not only the structure of the gas industry, but also the economics of natural gas companies and end users. During the regulatory transition, major interstate natural gas pipelines incurred significant costs, and their overall financial performance was less than satisfactory. On the other hand, however, local distribution companies enjoyed growth in asset base, operating revenues, and net income. In general, industrial and electric utility customers have benefited more from the recent changes in the U.S. natural gas market than captive residential and commercial customers. Facing these unprecedented developments, producers, pipelines, and local distribution companies restructured their operations. They laid off employees, spun off assets, consolidated operations, reduced long-term debt, and adjusted capital spending in an effort to cut down costs and improve operating efficiency. The outlook of the gas industry can be characterized by sustained gas demand and tight supply, with the greatest opportunity for gas market growth coming from electric power generation and natural gas vehicles. The market share of Canadian gas in the U.S. is expected to increase. Governmental regulations will continue to play an important role in stimulating increased use of natural gas. To adapt to an increasingly competitive environment, the future strategies of the gas companies should emphasize efficiency, supply reliability, R&D, and risk management
