The goal of this paper is to deliver to the reader a large number of graphs in order to allow him to choose the ones that he considers important to make his own opinion. Graphs from data are more important than statements, which are mainly interpretations and political. The main problem is that the data are fairly unreliable. This paper assess the various components in order to provide a compendium of behaviours for future use in strategic and tactical planning for gas energy needs.
