MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- The era of cheap natural gas is coming to an end, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Tuesday at a meeting in Moscow of the world's major gas-exporting countries.

Iran, Libya and Venezuela are among the countries attending the Gas Exporting Countries Forum, which observers say is fast emerging as an OPEC-style gas-producers' cartel. The gas group, commonly called GECF, would control the vast bulk of global supplies and could fix prices for the rest of the world.
