An analysis of industrial demand for natural gas

David B. Reister

Energy, 1983, vol. 8, issue 10, 749-756

Abstract: Several analysts have proposed the theory that there is a frustrated demand for natural gas in the United States. According to this theory, the natural gas curtailments of the 1970s have convinced industrial users that natural gas is not reliably available. The users are willing to buy fuel oil at a premium and store it to assure a reliable energy supply. If this theory is correct, as the supply of natural gas becomes more reliable, natural gas should be able to recapture the market share it lost to fuel oil.
