Central American and Caribbean nations rely almost entirely on water and oil as energy resources and are now working towards gas integration into the mix. The economics of gas integration will play a crucial role in defining demand and the opportunities in this sector. What impact has the expansion of the Panama Canal produced in the use of gas at the regional and global level? How can the availability of U.S. gas impact use in a region where infrastructure needs substantial development? How do lower prices impact the feasibility of gas as a substitute for existing energy resources? How is demand expected to evolve in Latin America and the Caribbean? Where are the key opportunities? How do the different types of supply contracts affect gas development in the region?
