This work considers the potential effects of competition in the
natural gas pipeline industry. Contrary to published studies and
government reports, this study concludes that federal regulation in
the industry is no longer necessary to limit the market power of
current pipeline suppliers. Rather, potential entry by nearby
suppliers--a competitive factor largely ignored in most economic
analyses--will promote competition in most major markets. The
purpose of the work is two-fold: to quantify the competitive effect
of potential market entry by natural gas suppliers; and to
demonstrate that any industry analysis which fails to consider this
competitive factor is likely to be in error.
This compilation and analysis of market-by-market data on
current deliveries by pipeline, location of nearby deliveries, and
location of nearby pipelines which make no deliveries will be of
interest to scholars, policymakers, and industry analysts concerned
with competitive, antitrust, and regulatory issues.
