AN APPROACH FOR ADAPTING GAS MARKETING STRATEGIES TO THE EVOLUTION OF MARKETS AND TO ENSURE SUPPLY AND DEMAND SECURITIES

摘要

Through the last decade, the gas markets evolutions have been intensified, registering the most accelerated rhythm over the last thirty years. These changes have concerned the gas markets mechanisms, configuration, and patterns as well as the number and the nature of the players. Sonatrach, one of the major leaders on the international gas scene is part of these changes. This paper will review the main developments of the gas markets through the decade and will present some elements of the strategy put in place by Sonatrach to adapt to the new environment with the aim to best valorise its resources within a frame of outlets and supplies securities.
