The Gas Trading Manual, 2nd Edition is the first publication to provide a comprehensive, regularly-updated reference source on the structure and conduct of the international gas markets. The manual covers all the major gas trading instruments and their applications, the trading centres, contracts, uses and users, and the administrative, management, tax and accounting implications of participating in them. Although GTM focuses initially on the UK and developing European gas markets, it is intended that future updates will extend its coverage to the US and elsewhere.
