Gas marketing volumes increase as traders return to 'classic' market

摘要

Wholesale gas marketing volumes continue to increase across North America as new supplies come online and pipelines are built or reconfigured to move that gas to growing markets. According to Platts' rankings for the second quarter of this year, wholesale gas sales increased about 11% from the same period of 2007 for the 24 companies that reported volumes for both quarters, to 111.3 Bcf/d. At the top spot again was BP, which reported selling 30.3 Bcf/d in the most recent quarter, more than twice its closest competitor. Tied for the second position were ConocoPhillips and Constellation Energy, each with 14.2 Bcf/d.
