For some years,natural gas was the neglected child of the petroleum business.The position in the United states,where it accounts for nearly one-third of the primary energy used,was regarded as exceptional if not unfortunate,and there was a tendency to overlook the few other areas where it has reached a high state of development.Today,the enormous and rapidly growing hunger for energy outside North America suggests that gas will take its place alongside oil,and of
comparable importance,in other major markets.
In this transition,the lead is likely to be taken by Europe.This remained a somewhat remote possibility so long as the gas had to be brought nearly 3,000 miles from the large Middle
Eastern reserves—for which substantial markets have still to be developed.Following the first Saharan finds in 1956,discovery that North Africa possessed both those reserves,now estimated at 55.Tcf,and extensive others in Libya,promised to change this picture.In 1960,the accessibility of gas to European consumers was still further increased by the discovery in The Netherlands of what has since proved to be the second largest field in the world.The Groningen reserves,now estimated at almost 39 Tcf,put The Netherlands ahead of Canada—already a major gas-producing country with an area more than 250 times as large.
