The Gas Industry in Portugal has been developed over the past 17 years to a network now stretching throughout the entire west of the Iberian Peninsula. GALP has, throughout this period, been the leading developer of gas infrastructure from gas sourcing and distribution through to development of the industrial and retail markets.
The paper illustrates how the Portuguese Market is structured physically and commercially, the main sources of gas supply and how these are distributed. In particular it shows the unique problems that have to be faced in Portugal being at the farthest edge of Europe’s gas infrastructure.
