    Competitive Landscape Brief

    Demand for natural gas is driven by overall US economic activity. The profitability of natural gas distributors depends largely on the efficiency of their operations. Companies that operate multiple distribution networks may enjoy economies of scale in purchasing. Imports of gas by pipeline from Canada supply about 15 percent of US consumption. Imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by boat are fairly small; LNG only makes up about 2 percent of natural gas consumption in the US. Trinidad and Tobago supply 75 percent of LNG imports. Gas prices have usually been too low to justify the expense of liquefaction and specialized transport and storage. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is more than $1 million.
