| Overview
The onshore, shelf and deepwater areas along the Gulf of Mexico produce about 45% of the natural gas coming from the Lower 48 U.S. states. The region contains a third of the remaining known gas reserves and two thirds of the yet-to-find gas resource potential. By far, this is the most significant and prolific gas producing area in all of North America. Investors both large and small have moved into and out of the Gulf region over the past several decades, and yet new potential continues to emerge. Will this trend continue? This report provides focused insight into the current situation for the supply, demand and transportation of natural gas from the region.
