Cover of the issue
In this issue
Natural gas industry has witnessed significant
developments in the past five decades both
on Arab and international levels. It assumed
a major position in the global energy mix.
Global demand for gas rose supported by the
continuous development in gas processing
and converting/liquidating techniques and
technologies. Natural gas uses expanded
greatly in heavy consuming sectors
including electrical power generating, oil
and downstream industries, industrial sector
(fertilizers, cement, iron, steel, and aluminum)
in addition to domestic uses. Natural gas is
getting more interest due to the fact that it
is an environment friendly fuel with lesser
emissions.
