As a result, lots of new gas exploration, field development andproduction activities are under way, especially in places where natural gas until recently was labeled as"stranded?. Because a significant portion of natural gas reserves worldwide are located across bodies ofwater, gas transportation in the form of LNG or CNG becomes an issue as well. Finally natural gas is viewedin comparison to the recently touted alternatives.
