GAS Leads covers gas development and monetization within the world's most significant producing basins and export hubs. Each issue is replete with valuable metrics, analysis and forecasts useful to suppliers of products and services to the global gas industry.

The primary objective of GAS Leads is to provide a quick (efficient) read for executives who want to gain an understanding of market trends, pricing and the competition - without having to wade through information that's non-critical to their needs. Although our principal readership is comprised of the management of products and services suppliers to the global gas industry, we've discovered that buyers who purchase those services also find the publication to be of significant interest.

Our news reporting focuses on market opportunities, project announcements and profitability implications, as we follow expansion into the upstream and midstream sectors.

Each issue of GAS Leads features two Matrix Reports. The first covers regional demand for gas-related products and services. We examine capital spending, and we look closely at outsourced operations and maintenance services.

The second Matrix Report examines the market for a specific product or service. We review major competitors, their market shares, recent projects, technical innovation and other key items of interest. We also provide our readers with forecasts of demand in the various markets for products or services.

To achieve our mission, GAS Leads leverages Zeus Energy Consulting Group's strength as a central information clearinghouse for energy-business research.

Syngas Refiner's objective is to collect, analyze and disseminate information concerning the emerging markets for products manufactured from syngas.

Zeus Development has been covering the gas-to-liquids (GTL) business for eight years in our GAS Monetizer (formerly Remote Gas Strategies) newsletter. Now, we're expanding that to include a plethora of technologies and processes utilizing any hydrocarbon source to produce syngas and downstream markets that will emerge from this industry. Thus, Syngas Refiner fills a niche specific to the gasification and syngas-to-products industries.

Upstream Technology is the first publication to explore the impact of information technology (IT) on the upstream sector of the energy industry. Readers will learn about the impact of mergers on major oil companies’ IT departments, gain insight into how e-business technology is expanding for E&P applications, how technologies are improving operations, financial performance, and ultimately shareholder value, and much more. As the energy industry and the Internet become more intertwined, Upstream Technology will continue to provide objective, comprehensive information about the upstream sector’s IT developments as a whole. The newsletter covers real case studies from leading companies and explores the alliances that will shape the 21st century.

The "CNG Ocean Transport 2004: A Progress Update of the Issues and Opportunities for Offshore CNG and Renewed and Expanded Economic Evaluation" report is now complete. This multi-client study builds off of the work performed in 2002 and 2003 to provide clients an objective, third-party assessment of the issues, economics and opportunities for CNG ocean transport.

At our December 2003 conference, it became clear participating clients had greater interest in a comparison of the five leading CNG technologies as they relate to prospective applications. Consequently, much of this work is focused on the unique characteristics of the designs and the economic implications of such to seven prospective applications. The report integrates much of the input from the JIP participants and discussions from the conference with our follow-on analysis.

The report also includes economic models in the format of four excel spread sheets which evaluate CNG ocean transport cases and economics.

The 161 page report is available for $4950 (Texas Residents add 8.25% sales tax) plus $20 shipping ($45 overseas). The price includes a hardcopy of the report and CD of the report incorporting the ecocomic models and speaker presentations.

Western Canada holds vast oilsands deposits that are economically recoverable at oil prices between $30/bbl and $40/bbl, and the use of gasification in the production of bituminous oilsands is poised for rapid expansion. The EIA estimates that operators will produce some 3.5 million b/d of synthetic crude oil by 2025, up from 1.1 million b/d currently. Other estimates place the 2025 estimate closer to 5.0 million b/d. We anticipate that some C$4 billion will be spent on gasification systems over the next five years. We also expect the winners of the technology race to subsequently enjoy revenues in the range of C$1-2 billion annually. Five technology firms are aggressively pushing gasification technologies, and others are in the wings.

A primary factor that could accelerate gasification technology and infrastructure development is geopolitical instability and/or the desire of importing nations, like the United States, to achieve less dependence on foreign energy suppliers. World war involving Iran, the Arabian Peninsula, Venezuela and/or Africa would motivate North American investors to accelerate development of indigenous coal and oilsands. Barring these scenarios, however, several more immediate challenges, such as construction bottlenecks, labor shortages and constrained pipeline takeaway capacity, could decelerate the rate of gasification commercialization in the short to medium term.

This study examines all of the technological, economic, geopolitical and logistical drivers that will influence development of the Canadian oilsands and provides the reader with a wealth of information on the status of project developments, operators, technology providers, markets and more.

The objectives of this report are threefold:

First, to access the impact of LNG on the East Coast natural gas market and the elasticity of that market relative to price of LNG.

Second, to examine the capability of LNG exporters in the Atlantic Basin, Mediterranean and Middle East to reliably supply more LNG to the East Coast market at competitive prices.

Third, to determine the current U.S. capability to receive LNG for delivery to the East Coast, the practicalities of landing more LNG (given federal, state and local permitting requirements and concerns of the public over safety and the environment), and the challenges of integrating additional LNG supplies into the gas transmission system.

Zeus Development Corporation's post-conference report, entitled "LNG: Non-Traditional Concepts for Receiving and Regasification," draws on presentations and discussions from the conference sessions as well as follow-on research of open issues identified during the meeting. The report profiles new designs, assesses their economics and compares their capabilities to conventional terminals, considers the implications for open-access tolling and merchant-import approaches, and evaluates the timing of their commercial readiness. To prepare the report, Zeus built on analysis from its 2000 industry report on conventional LNG receiving and regasification terminals (ISBN: 0-615-11567-5).

The technology for liquefaction, transport and regasification of natural gas is well established. But, the specialized knowledge associated with LNG projects rests with a relatively small number of firms that design and operate these facilities. In response to several reader requests, Zeus Development Corporation has published LNG Receiving and Regasification Terminals: An Overview of Design, Operation and Project Development Consideration that covers a number of topics pertinent to everyone interested in developing, designing or operating an LNG receiving terminal.
