Disponible en CD en formato PDF Transcripción del abstract original del autor: Natural gas would be an important energy resource in the 21st. century. As for world demand trend of natural gas, the average growth rate of 2.4% is predicted by OECD/IEA (2000) and it increases up to 5,047 bcm in 2030 from 2,527 bcm in 2000. It is widely believed that the demand of natural gas in Asian region, especially China will grow rapidly. In the area where the demand of natural gas can not be occupied only by the conventional gas, it has the possibility that unconventional gases may be produced commercially. In our study, genetic algorithm is introduced to simulate a series of optimum production rate allocation of the several kinds of natural gas in Asia so that the total amounts of these production and transportation costs become minimum with referring to the preceding actual cases of North America. With the result of the above simulation, it was found that Domestic unconventional natural gases could compete with the imported LNG because the transportation cost through the distribution pipeline network are much lower than LNG transport cost.
