| Summary/Abstract |
Only five years ago, the world's supply of oil appeared to be peaking, and as conventional gas production declined in the United States, it seemed that the country would become dependent on costly natural gas imports. But in the years since, those predictions have proved spectacularly wrong. Global energy production has begun to shift away from traditional suppliers in Eurasia and the Middle East, as producers tap unconventional gas and oil resources around the world, from the waters of Australia, Brazil, Africa, and the Mediterranean to the oil sands of Alberta. The greatest revolution, however, has taken place in the United States, where producers have taken advantage of two newly viable technologies to unlock resources once deemed commercially infeasible: horizontal drilling, which allows wells to penetrate bands of shale deep underground, and hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which uses the injection of high-pressure fluid to release gas and oil from rock formations.

| Summary/Abstract |
In order to achieve energy consumption targets, and subsequently reduce carbon emissions, China is working on energy strategies and policies aimed at actively increasing the consumption of natural gas-the lowest carbon energy of the fossil fuels, and to enhance the proportion of gas in total primary energy consumption. To do this, it is a necessary prerequisite that China must have access to adequate gas resources and production to meet demand. This paper shows that the availability of domestic gas resources are overestimated by China's authorities due to differences in classification and definitions of gas resources/reserves between China and those accepted internationally. Based on official gas resource figures, China's gas production remains low with respect to the projected demand, and will only be 164.6 bcm in 2020, far lower than the 375 bcm of forecast demand. The gap between gas production and demand will reach 210.4 bcm by 2020. Existing plans for the importation of gas and the development of unconventional gas will not close this gap in the next 10 years, and this situation will therefore present a severe challenge to China's gas security, achievement of targets in improving energy consumption structure and reducing carbon emissions.

| Summary/Abstract |
Rapid economic growth and an export driven chemical intesive economic structure have led to a rapid increase in energy consumption. Rapid economic development and the corresponding surge in energy consumption in China have raised public concern.

| Summary/Abstract |
The main research question is "Will political maneuvering between China and Russia result in higher export price for Uzbek gas?" This is especially peculiar given the fact that many analysts consider the price that Russia pays for Uzbek gas to be lower than a fair market price. Currently, the price of gas exports from Uzbekistan is $160 per 1,000 cu m. On the other hand, Gazprom charges its European customers an average of $350 per 1,000 cu m.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE WRITING OF THIS ARTICLE was preceded by a critical study of the latest outlooks for the development of fuel and energy industries by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the International Energy Agency and Russia's Institute of Energy Strategy. Experts agree that hydrocarbons in the coming 20 years will be the basis of fuel and energy industries in the overwhelming majority of countries around the world. Since oil and gas are going to remain the energy source of choice in the world's energy balance during the above period, it is important to analyze the development prospects of the oil and gas industry around the world, in individual regions and countries. The outlooks had in mind above all the impact on the energy component of such important factors as rates of economic growth, population size, world oil price dynamics, and also the effectiveness of energy saving policies.
