It is envisioned that Gas Today will fulfil the need for a quality trade publication serving the natural gas industry. No other magazine in the Australian market exclusively covers gas, acting as a key information source on all aspects of the industry, both locally and abroad.

Gas Today will cover the complete gamut of the industry, from exploration and production through to the end user, through regular industry updates, in-depth project reports, technical articles, profiles of leading industry members, analysis of key issues and more.

Exploration, appliances, pipelines, LNG, transport fuels, industrial applications, CSG, distribution, export, networks, domestic use and equipment - these are just some of the topics gas industry professionals need to be aware and informed of, and you can be sure that Gas Today will keep you abreast of all the latest developments within each of these areas.

In these boom times for our industry, we also need to remain well aware of the various issues at hand. Gas Today will provide in-depth analysis of issues such as how the industry is regulated and by who, attracting and retaining quality personnel, occupational health and safety, energy policy, and domestic reservation, just to name a few.

New developments on the project and product side of the industry will also feature prominently, ensuring you are never the last to know about the latest field to be developed or newest product to hit the market.

Australia is rich in natural gas reserves, and these known reserves are being constantly supplemented by new discoveries and new technologies which are making reserves previously thought stranded viable.

Gas already makes a significant contribution as an industrial and domestic fuel source in Australia, and this role is set to drastically increase in coming years as governments, industry and individuals become more concerned about reducing their environmental footprint.

Large scale use of natural gas for power generation and as a transport fuel offers substantial greenhouse gas emissions reductions and the opportunity to greatly improve air quality in urban areas.

The gas and technologies are available; but the industry in its entirety must convince government and the broader community that gas is the interim solution for a carbon constrained future.

All in all – we are at the beginning of another very exciting period of growth for the gas industry – so let’s all get on the same team!

The age of natural gas has well and truly arrived – and Gas Today is your key information source in both navigating and prospering in this exciting new era.
