With oil, about 60% of oil crosses an international boundary.
With natural gas, it's only, only half of that share of natural gas
that's produced, only about less than a
third of it crosses an international boundary.
[COUGH] So, you see that in this, in
this image here, from the BP Statistical Review.
We don't see as many international trade connections, when it comes to natural gas.
And we see, probably to some degree, a lot shorter ones.
You know, much more sort of, maybe, you know, regional
in some sense within, within a, you know, to neighboring continents.
But that's about it.
But not really then the same extensive global trade patterns we see with oil.
If we look domestically, or we notice here, this, this chart
from the Energy Information Administration shows the interstate pipelines in blue.
So, these are the major transmission lines.
The red ones are the intrastate, which to some degree,
does you know, you can think of that as bulk transmission.
But a lot of it may be local, think of somewhat local delivery.
They're primarily on this chart in different colors
probably because they are regulated by different entities.
But what you notice here, in these slides of course, is a very extensive network
of pipelines in these producing regions, Oklahoma, West Texas,
