The book comprises in-depth studies of a smaller set of countries, but  those of critical regional and international importance to the future of  gas: Qatar, Iran, Oman, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Iraq and Bahrain.   Over the past decade, Gulf gas production and demand have expanded  rapidly, and the next decade is likely to see further major expansions.  The only substantial increase in LNG exports in the 2010s was from Qatar  and a smaller, but still very significant, increase is planned for the  2020s. This book finds that the Gulf will play a substantial role in the  expansion of global gas supply and demand at least until 2030, and  probably beyond, and will therefore remain an extremely important region  for gas and energy researchers over the next decade.
