The GAS WG assesses the current status of natural gas and LNG markets in Mediterranean countries, their relevant regulatory frameworks and possible evolutions. The Group elaborates Guidelines of Good Practice (GGP) and recommendations for the development of an integrated, competitive, secure and effective gas market in the region.

Recently, the group has focused on the analysis of the convergence of regulatory measures among Mediterranean countries, which can foster gas market integration, namely third-party access and capacity allocation mechanisms.

• The GAS WG will be developing a report on "Green LNG as a Hub for the Energy Transition," where the aim is to explore the new trend and check the feasibility of its adoption to add to the efforts of the energy transition.
• A workshop on "Tackling Security of Supply Concerns in a Gas Crisis," will be an opportunity to showcase the 2023 report, presenting the strategies that have been adopted in the region to ensure energy security during times such as the Gas Crisis.
• Technical Support for MEDREG's members in terms of two study visits for the Egyptian member GASREG and the Israeli member NGA respectively.

• Establishment of an integrated gas market framework; development gas infrastructure plans in MEDREG countries detailing existing infrastructures and new investments needs.
• Identify proper means for increasing member countries’ security of supply through an increased diversification of gas sources and routes, as well as the development of liquid markets.
• Assess the evolution of cross-border exchange capacities and gas storage, which are the steps for a better market integration.
• Monitor the transparency of market information and services, as well as the quality of supply to consumers.
• Promote the creation of a regional cooperation network among Mediterranean gas infrastructure operators on the model of Med-TSO in the gas sector.

• Study the present and future infrastructure needs from the technical, economic and financial perspectives, to reach a double objective:
  - the establishment of a regional integrated gas market;
  - the improvement of the security of supply within the region.
• Study methodologies for non-discriminatory TPA to gas infrastructure  
• Analyse cross-border capacities and gas storage in the context of increasing market integration 
• Benchmark of the tariff methodologies in MEDREG countries: improve and expand national tariff methodologies
