UNECE WPGAS LNG REPORT – CHAPTER1, LNG MARKETS.
Main elements taken from Eurogas, IEA, IGU and other recent studies:
Physical status, by area/basins – gas reserves, supply, demand, flows/trade Economic status – area / basin projections of supply and demandIndustry status – liquefaction, tankage and regasification capacities (existing, in construction, planned)Commercial status – contracting and pricing mechanisms.
Today’s focus is on the interaction of shale gas and LNG, and how this affects Europe. 4

Until recently, conventional gas was viewed as low-cost, while shale gas was an abundant but high-cost US resource – that perception has now reversed.

IMPLICATIONS, COMMERCIAL RISKS… Uncertainty remains large – gas prices will be driven by such fundamentals as world economic growth, shale extraction technology, global LNG, carbon policy.Another gas contract crisis is brewing.
It is likely that European gas contracts are better structured than the old US contracts to withstand the coming shale-and-LNG-driven spot price onslaught.Movements in Asian markets may take place as well, probably led by China’s LNG importers.
Demand deficit – even with economic recovery, major legislation and capex in renewables may ultimately curb world gas demand growth, further pressuring world gas prices and supply agreements.Corporate assumptions and contracts may need to be reviewed. 23
