Introduction

The Globalization of energy market is not a new phenomenon. For centuries, countries have been trading energy internationally. Energy consuming nations need ever-growing quantities of oil, gas and coal from abroad while energy producing nations need evergrowing amounts of foreign capital to develop the facilities necessary to extract more resources Both sets of countries must build and maintain huge amounts of infrastructure to process, generate, transport, and deliver the energy according to their citizens and industries requirements.
