Why is Natural Gas Priced Differently Around the World?
(Article by Vivek Chandra published in GeoExPro Magazine, November 2020, and translated into Spanish on the GNL Global website)
Although natural gas and oil share many characteristics (both are hydrocarbons, both are found and produced using similar methods and equipment, and both are often produced simultaneously), they contrast in the way they are sold and priced. Oil is sold by volume or weight, typically in units of barrels or tonnes. Different grades and sources of crude oil have different prices that are determined by the amount refiners are willing to pay for the crude oil. Global oil markets are very liquid, relatively transparent, and involve numerous intermediaries and open exchanges.
