Insights on the key requirements for downstream gas activities beyond gas production are also presented, as gas can only be exploited if it is sold to end-users willing to pay the appropriate price.The Guidance addresses essential upstream gas strategy and policy decisions for developing countries, the options available and good practice in the upstream sector as related to legislation, fiscal and regulatory regimes, and contracts.
