As diversification is strategically important to modern societies, the security of energy supplies becomes an inherent issue. In order to avoid situations of shortage, and to keep the price level stable, industrial nations are paying attention to the security of energy supplies. In brief terms this means that having more than one supplier of natural gas and more than one transport route would be strategically important. This also affects political issues and international law and regulations, economics, science and technology. The purpose of this book is to address opportunities extended from science and research pertaining to the exploitation and international trading of natural gas that involves transit countries. This especially relates to the transport and handling of gas from remote regions and pipelines that are Language: English Country/Region of Manufacture: US Item Height: 235mm Item Length: 155mm Contributor: Jens Hetland (Edited by), Teimuraz Gochitashvili (Edited by) Author: Jens Hetland Genre: Science Nature & Math Book Series: NATO Science Series II: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Release Year: 2004
