Study reviews the market forces providing impetus for deregulation in Canada and the US; discusses the deregulatory initiatives taken to date in both countries, problems that are being encountered in their implementation, and their impact on the marketplace; and describes the basic structure of the gas industry from a supply-demand perspective. Also presents a long-term appraisal of the future development prospects for the Canadian gas industry within the increasingly integrated North American gas market, including future gas prices in domestic and US markets; the identification of future export markets both locationally and volumetrically; the need for new or expanded pipeline facilities to serve new or incremental export and/or domestic markets; the adequacy of conventional gas supplies to meet future demand; and the timing of unconventional and frontier gas production to augment these supplies.
