 |
If the Tour de France followed the path of Gaz de France, bikers would ride through Africa, all the Americas, most of Europe, and the Middle East. The company is expanding its exploration and production efforts (it has some 1,000 billion cu. ft., or 29 billion cu. meters, of natural gas reserves) as it faces European industry liberalization mandates. The state-owned company's main operation is the distribution of natural gas to 10 million customers in France; it also serves about 2 million customers abroad. With more than 30 subsidiaries, Gaz de France also operates gas transmission, storage, and trading businesses; offers heating, air-conditioning, and ventilation services; and runs cogeneration facilities.
