Fuels

From heating homes to powering industry to fueling electric generation – natural gas, oil and coal – all play a prominent and critical role in our energy oriented economy. High oil and gas prices, seasonal demand for most fuel supply sources, tightening of natural gas supply and demand balances in North America and the influences of a growing global market all contribute to an increasingly important yet highly uncertain, volatile fuel market.

This uncertainty affects procurement strategies, resource management decisions, investment decisions, and risk management activities across a wide range of industries and sectors including the natural gas fired electric generation sector, and liquid natural gas (LNG) from around the world. All of these activities are conducted within the operating framework of a complex infrastructure of pipelines as well as other transportation means, storage and processing facilities, along with the financial markets.
