View industry report for Europe

Natural gas supply across Europe's electricity production and the world prices of natural gas and crude oil significantly influence the performance of pipeline companies. The complex infrastructure of long-distance pipeline transport lends itself to a limited number of operators instead of a host of companies in charge of various sections across different regions. Because of this, most companies in the industry operate as regional monopolies, either over a whole country or a specific area. For example, Enagás (Spain), Fluxys (Belgium), GRTgaz (France) and Snam (Italy) are the EU's four most giant gas transporters (TSOs), owning over 100,000km of pipeline across Europe.
