Natural gas production last year advanced in every region, as climbing natural gas prices spurred global production growth of nearly 7% (OGJ, Mar. 9, 2009, p. 64).
Gas processing capacity, however, lagged this growth. In the US, capacity moved ahead by nearly 2% but Canada's growth was flat (Table 1). For the entire world, OGJ's data show that capacity growth in virtually every region stagnated.
