The GCC Natural Gas Market size crossed USD 40 billion in 2017 and is set to expand at more than 4% by 2024.
Sellbyville, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/24/2019 -- GCC natural gas market will exceed USD 50 Billion by 2024, as reported in the latest study by Global Market Insights, Inc. Rising concern to maintain fossil fuel sustainability along with stringent regulations to reduce environmental impact will drive the GCC Natural Gas Market size. For instance, in November 2016 Saudi Arabia signed Intended Nationally Determined Contribution and Paris agreement which aims to reduce 130 Mt of CO2 annually by 2030.
GCC Natural Gas Market has been a recipient of the concerns related to energy security and climatic changes due to increasing fossil fuel consumption. In a bid to strengthen the regional sustainable energy scenario, GCC countries including Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman have been planning to increase the dependency on sustainable energy sources for curbing carbon footprints. In accordance, they have apparently set long-term goals that are certain to favorably stimulate GCC natural gas industry size.

Increasing need to suffice demand for electricity from high energy intensive industries will propel the GCC natural gas market size. Ability to offer cost effectiveness, environmental proximity and low electricity generation cost will make its adoption preferable over other alternates. For instance, as per BP energy outlook, total energy utilization in GCC region is anticipated to witness growth over 50% by 2040, where natural gas is projected to gain over 60% escalation.
Aimed toward encouraging foreign as well as local investors to contribute to the development of sustainable energy projects, member states of GCC have compiled a set of stringent regulatory norms. With more and more regulatory policies concerning energy transition becoming commonplace, GCC natural gas market outlook is likely to undergo a transformation in the years to come. The UAE for example, has initiated a policy called 'Energy Strategy 2050' that targets carbon footprint reduction by 70% while simultaneously increasing the share of clean energy in the overall energy mix to 50% by 2050.
In the last few years, domestic energy demand across GCC countries has been increasing tremendously, owing to the surging industrialization these nations have been witnessing. Presuming that the current scenario remains consistent, the increasing consumption of fossil fuels for fulfilling energy requirements is certain to pressurize the lack of available energy resources. In addition, the high economic dependency on hydrocarbons and rapid growth in population will also enforce substantial pressure on the social and financial sphere of GCC countries. Taking into account the challenging situation in the coming years, GCC governments have set national energy consumption patterns mainly to promote sustainable energy consumption. They seemingly aim to produce natural gas on a large scale, which will quite overtly, raise the commercialization scale of GCC natural gas market. Incidentally, the research team at King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center found that Saudi Arabia accounts for nearly 44% of the overall natural gas production across GCC countries.

Continuing alongside similar lines, Saudi Arabia, with other member countries such as UAE has been striving since long to concentrate on unconventional gas production. That said, one of the principal factor aiding the growth of GCC natural gas market is the abundant availability of natural gas resources in the region and the rapidly rising consumption levels of the same. Apparently, regional contenders have been working on a number of growth strategies, specifically increased investments to upscale the revenue graph of GCC natural gas industry. Saudi Aramco, for example, the national oil company, recently declared an investment of USD 7 billion in addition to an earlier capital, to accelerate the development of shale gas resources in the region. As the country's shale gas potential comes to the fore in the ensuing years, GCC natural gas market as a whole is certain to benefit from this strategy, placing Saudi Arabia is a position of dominance. Powered by the continuous efforts of the government in gas exploration and excavation activities, GCC natural gas industry size from Saudi Arabia will register a CAGR of 3% over 2018-2024.
Increasing investment towards the development of unconventional natural gas reserves along with growing demand for energy will propel the Saudi Arabia natural gas market share. For instance, Saudi Aramco announced to invest USD 7 billion for the development of shale gas reserves.
Major industry participants across GCC natural gas market include Exxon Mobil, Total, Occidental Petroleum Corporation, General Electric, ONGC Videsh, Royal Dutch Shell, Statoil, Petroleum Development Oman, Bahrain Petroleum Company, ConocoPhillips, Qatar Petroleum, Rosneft, GAZPROM, British Petroleum, Lukoil, Eni, Chevron.
