There were mixed directions at the NBP on 29 May with the prompt strengthening a touch in the morning because of an unex-pected outage However by the end of the session most of the gains had come off

The bearish movement that had characterised the near curve in the past two sessions continued early in the session on Thursday although losses for June rsquo14 were less pronounced than on Wednes-day Then an unplanned outage at ConocoPhillipsrsquo North Sea J-Block gas fields pushed prompt prices temporarily in the opposite direction

The far curve was mostly range-bound during the day although some of the seasons made small gains as a result of a falling pound sterling relative to the euro This can often lift contracts as demand rises from traders with euros to spend

The South Hook LNG terminal continued to provide significant volumes to the British system with output from the site flowing at a rate of around 50 million cubic metres (mcm)day throughout the session Traders suggested that oversupply is still expected but this has mostly been priced into the front month contract now

NYMEX natural gas futures slid for the first time in four sessions closing down as the market digested the latest weekly gas storage report from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA)

The July rsquo14 contract closed its first day as the front month at $456MMBtu down by $006MMBtu from the previous dayrsquos close because of bearish sentiment stemming from the EIA report

Losses of at least $003MMBtu were registered across the board at the close of the 29 Mayrsquos session

The EIA report had detailed the highest weekly injection into US inventories in five years over the week ended 23 May US natural gas stocks posted a third consecutive weekly rise over the week just gone surging by 114 billion cubic feet (bcf) ndash or 32 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash for the first time since mid-June 2009

Stocks now stand just below 14 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or 396 bcm the EIA report showed still some way short of the year-ago and five-year average levels for this week

The depleted nature of US inventories and the impending onset of the summer cooling season offered some support to the bulls

The vessel loaded its cargo from the Ni-geria LNG (NLNG) facility in Bonny Island on 26 May and is now positioned heading west across the Atlantic Ocean The vessel is ex-pected to arrive in Brazil on 7 June although the port is unspecified

PETRONAS which does not have offtake capacity from NLNG is understood to have purchased the cargo on an FOB basis How-ever the supplier of the late May Nigeria-sourced spot cargo could not be confirmed

The Malaysian company was heard to have been awarded a tranche of 18 cargoes from Portuguese seller Galp Energia for a mid-term agreement starting in 2015

The 152000cbm Seri Begawan last deliv-ered a cargo on behalf of PETRONAS to the Salvador floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) in the state of Bahia on 28 April

Market sources considered Petrobras to be quiet in the market for prompt cargoes

having secured most of its summer require-ments in advance from select sellers

France-based GDF SUEZ UK-headquar-tered BG Group Norwayrsquos Statoil Anglo-Dutch major Shell and London-based EDF Trading have all delivered cargoes to Brazil in April May and June

A source in the Atlantic basin said buy-ing activity from Petrobras is expected to be muted for the rest of the third quarter

BG delivers reload to South KoreaThe 155000cbm GasLog Shanghai is currently sailing towards South Korea according to vessel-tracking data

The vessel under the control of portfolio seller BG Group is carrying a reload cargo from Francersquos Fos Cavaou LNG terminal to the Gwangyang LNG terminal in South Korea

It is expected to reach its destination on 2 June after departing from Fos Cavaou on

27 April It is likely to be delivering the cargo to South Korea-based steelmaker POSCO which operates the Gwangyang terminal

POSCO currently imports 055mtpa of LNG from the BP-led Tangguh plant in Indonesia under a 20-year contract through to 2024 Trading sources indicated that Paris-based portfolio sellers would likely be behind an FOB sale to BG Group

Both Total and GDF SUEZ are capacity holders at Fos Cavaou Up to 100000cbm of volumes are allowed to be reloaded from Fos due to regulations

Also heading to South Korea is the 173000cbm Ribera del Duero Knutsen ac-cording to vessel-tracking data

The vessel under the control of Shell departed from Bonny Island on 27 May and is expected to reach Incheon port on 24 June It is likely to deliver the cargo to KOGAS which operates the terminal

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has revamped the order of pending non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) LNG export ap-plications in order to prioritise ldquocommercially advancedrdquo projects

This means projects that have received permitting approval from the US Federal En-ergy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will now be eligible for DOE approval first instead of waiting through a queue that established precedence based on the order of when the application was received

ldquoThe Department intends to make final public interest determinations only after a project has completed the NEPA [National Environmental Policy Act] process instead of issuing conditional authorisationsrdquo DOE said in a 29 May statement

DOE first established the order of prec-edence for non-FTA export licenses on 5 December 2012 after the agency was over-whelmed with a wave of export proposals

A non-FTA country is any country that does not have a free trade agreement with the US This comprises many of the key LNG importers including Japan China and India

While DOE must automatically approve an FTA export license the agency has discretion over when to approve non-FTA applications

Cheniere was the first company to hatch the idea of the Sabine Pass LNG import termi-nal as a liquefaction plant but after receiving its non-FTA license in 2010

DOE then stalled for a year and a half be-fore issuing further export licenses as public debate weighed in on industrial consumersrsquo views on the price of natural gas and the industryrsquos environmental impact

In the last four years DOE has issued seven non-FTA conditional licenses for six US

LNG projects Chenierersquos first four trains at Sabine Pass the 132mtpa Freeport LNG the 15mtpa Lake Charles Dominionrsquos 525mtpa Cove Point LNG Semprarsquos 12mpta Cameron LNG and the 6mpta Jordan Cove proposal

This new policy is not anticipated to change any of those conditional orders that have already been issued

Changes for remaining applicants Currently 24 export applications for non-FTA licenses are yet to be considered They range from small-scale concepts aiming to target the fledgling Caribbean market to major international companies such as ExxonMobil that carry the balance sheet to clear the high capital costs of an export project ranging in the tens of billions of dollars

Under the new scheme projects await-ing a non-FTA license must now have the final approval under regulations in the NEPA review which is under FERCrsquos jurisdiction before DOE will issue an export license

Of the pending projects the most advanced in FERC permitting applications include US-based Excelerate Energyrsquos Lavaca Bay greenfield floating LNG project in Texas Chenierersquos second greenfield 135mtpa Cor-pus Christi venture and the proposed 8mpta Magnolia LNG greenfield project in Lake Charles Louisiana This also bodes well for the US LNG export expansion proposed for ExxonMobil and Qatar Petroleumrsquos Golden Pass slated for 15mpta although Golden Pass has not advanced much further than preliminary FERC filings

DOE also released two studies addressing the environmental impact of unconventional natural gas production and the lifecycle green-house gas impacts of US LNG exports The new

proposed policy along with the studies will now go through a 45-day comment period

Shortly after DOErsquos announcement US Senator Mary Landrieu a Democrat from Louisiana who chairs the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources issued a statement welcoming the decision Landrieu was among several lawmakers in March who called on DOE to consider changing its order of precedence for LNG export projects

Landrieu stated the decision by DOE to streamline the permit approval process is ldquoa positive step forward to responsibly export Americarsquos abundant supply of natural gasrdquo

Oregon LNG considers new policy The greenfield Oregon LNG project proposed for Warrenton Oregon was the next applicant in the non-FTA application queue

The planned 95mtpa plant envisages importing Canadian natural gas through pipe-lines in the Kingsgate and Huntingdon hubs near the British Columbia border Its CEO Peter Hansen told ICIS the new proposed non-FTA approval policy should not immediately affect the consideration of its export application

ldquoItrsquos sort of a two-edged sword Obvi-ously regulatory certainty is something that we really needrdquo he said ldquoOn the other hand I can see why the DOE would say this for pro-jects that are far down the path on permitsrdquo

The project expects to receive its schedul-ing notice from FERC in the ldquonear futurerdquo and could receive a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) by this autumn Hansen said

Oregon LNG has not secured any long-term contracts with buyers though Hansen said it has signed memorandums of agree-ment (MOUs) with ldquoAsian and North Ameri-can companiesrdquo Ruth Liao

Japanrsquos INPEX signs agreements to sell gas from Prelude FLNG

Published on the ICIS Dashboard at 1000

Indiarsquos gas network operator GAIL has decreased its spot LNG buying activity for the next two to three months

ldquoGAIL will not be active in the spot market for June-July as [its] key domestic customers have stopped buying gasrdquo a source familiar with the issue said

With the appoint-ment of new petro-leum and natural gas minister Dharmendra Pradhan on 27 May and the likely roll-out of a new budget in June there may be some buying activity for July to August However overall demand is still expected to be weak ndash potentially for one or two spot cargoes only

ldquoGAIL might buy one or two cargoes for July-August at $1100-1150MMBtu but discussions around these with sellers will happen only after the budget is rolled outrdquo a source said

Other Indian buyers such as Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) which has captive LNG demand for its refinery in Jamnagar Gujarat is looking at purchasing one to two spot de-liveries for the July-August period

RIL is targeting deals below $1300MMBtu on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis and is in discussions for spot deliveries with Qatari sellers according to sources

Reliancersquos demand is expected to be steady for the rest of the year unlike GAIL Petronet LNG and Gujarat State Petroleum Corp (GSPC) whose demand wanes on a seasonal basis

GSPC and Petronet LNG have noticed demand from industrial clients slow down during the monsoon season which runs from mid-May onwards to mid-September As a result both companies are not very active in the spot market for July-August deliveries

Slowdown in downstream sales As one of Indiarsquos largest LNG importers GAILrsquos key customers such as the domestic power and fertilizer companies have stopped buying gas for power generation in the past month as they have run out of government-aided fuel subsidies

The new Nar-endra Modi-led government is likely to release subsidies in June but no date has been fixed Also previous govern-ments have talked about cutting down subsidies by

15 for fertilizer companies and the new government is likely to implement the subsidy cut sources said

Power companies in India have switched to using coal from gas in the past two months as prices of power generated from coal is two times cheaper compared with gas

In the absence of demand from fertilizer and power companies GAIL is now selling its long- and medium-term LNG supplies to private customers that comprise steel and small-scale industries The price at which GAIL is supplying LNG to private customers is estimated at $1200-1300MMBtu Power and fertilizer companies make up 70 of GAILrsquos total customer portfolio

ldquoThe lack of demand from large custom-ers has forced us to sell LNG to other con-sumersrdquo the source said

In the week of 30 May during the release of GAILrsquos first-quarter results chairman BC Tri-pathi said GAIL will be importing 36 cargoes this financial year which began in April Of these 18 are expected to be procured in the spot market In the first quarter GAIL received seven to eight cargoes at the Dabhol and Da-hej LNG terminals Ranjana Kaushal

INPEX is negotiating the sale of LNG to To-kyo Electric (TEPCO) and Shizuoka Gas from the Prelude floating LNG (FLNG) project in Australia the Japanese oil and gas company said in a statement on 27 May

INPEX will deliver 560000 tonnes of LNG per annum to TEPCO and 70000 tonnes per annum to Shizuoka Gas for eight years on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis INPEX said

Deliveries will begin in 2017 according to the statement The companies are still finalis-ing details of the proposed contracts and did not disclose prices

The signing of the Heads of Agreements (HOAs) represents INPEXrsquos first sale of LNG from the Prelude FLNG project The project is a vessel built to float in the waters off the coast of western Australia pump up and liquefy the natural gas from the undersea Prelude gasfield

INPEX owns 175 in the project while a subsidiary of Anglo-Dutch major Shell holds a 675 stake and acts as operator South Ko-rearsquos KOGAS holds 10 and Taiwanrsquos monoly importer CPC owns a 5 stake

The Prelude project will start producing LNG by 2017 and produce at least 36mtpa of natural gas at its peak INPEX said in the statement Ben Lefebvre

Chilersquos state copper miner Codelco has taken its first step towards achieving consist-ent LNG supply for its mining operations in the north of the South American country af-ter signing a long-term agreement with com-patriot gas distribution company Metrogas

Metrogas is expected to deliver volumes to the Mejillones terminal in northern Chile from 2016 as part of an extension to a recently announced short-term supply agreement with the worldrsquos largest copper producer multiple Americas-based sources told ICIS

Gas will be sourced by Metrogas through its existing supply contract for the Quintero terminal in central Chile with British portfolio supplier BG Group

Under the amended terms of the supply agreement reached between the parties in 2012 Metrogas is able to divert volumes from Quintero to other Chilean ports

ldquoMetrogas will resell the gas to Codelco The agreement is on a long-term period and

is based on the low price at which Metrogas buys LNG from BG Group and the fact that they can decide between Quintero and Mejil-lonesrdquo a South American source told ICIS

A Metrogas spokesperson declined to comment on the nature of companyrsquos future supply commitments with Codelco when contacted by ICIS A Codelco spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment submitted by ICIS

Although the exact volumes that Metro-gas will send to Codelco are undefined the Santiago-based gas distributor is already un-derstood to have fully allocated its Quintero volumes for 2016 onwards

Existing customers of the distributor will not see contracts up for renewal next year extended as Metrogas looks to guarantee supplies to Codelco one Americas-based source told ICIS

This includes the reallocation of at least two 160000cbm cargoes a year provided to power generators on the countryrsquos ❯❯ Page 13

Codelco eyes long-term Metrogas LNG diversions

BP and Shell to supply Kuwait with third seller in the wingsAnglo-Dutch major Shell and UK-head-quartered BP have signed agreements to supply Kuwait with LNG over a five- to six-year period a Kuwait Petroleum Corp (KPC) official was quoted as saying on 13 April in the local media

Jamal Al-Loughani deputy managing director of marketing operations at KPC told the Kuwaiti daily newspaper Al-Seyassah that three portfolio sellers will supply KPC with a total of about 25mtpa of LNG with deliver-ies expected to be allocated over Kuwaitrsquos peak summer demand season which typically runs from end-March to November

KPC is expected to sign the supply con-tract with a third company by the end of this week Al-Loughani added While the identity

of the third supplier was not revealed Qatar-gas and Russian incumbent Gazprom were both mentioned as potential suppliers by industry sources

Gazprom said on 25 March that it was looking to expand cooperation with Kuwait on LNG The company supplied two spot cargoes to the country in 2011

However a source familiar with the issue said that negotiations between KPC and Gazprom involved deliveries of the proposed Vladivostok project volumes rather than existing mid-term volumes for delivery to a planned Kuwait onshore terminal from 2020 The supplier of mid-term volumes in the interim would be Qatargas according to the source ❯❯ Page 15

June-July demand in focus

Asian markets were back in contango with July at a premium to June amid increasing evidence that the recent reduction in prices in the region may have bottomed out

Prompt supply availability is well balanced globally but is said to have grown stronger in the Atlantic than in the Pacific basin with more flexible volumes emerging from Nigeria and Spain Demand from Brazil meanwhile continues to make it the premium buyer in South America

Brazilrsquos state-owned importer Petrobras was awarded a free-on-board (FOB) Nige-rian cargo for loading on 2 June while other prompt cargoes from west Africa have also been offered and transacted

In the Pacific basin some traders also said they expected imminent offers from the new Papua New Guinea LNG facility Project de-veloper ExxonMobil has said first volumes will be exported by mid-year and once the ramp up is complete one source estimated as many as four or five spot cargoes could be available per month

With Japanese buyers absent from recent buying activity Indian buyers have stepped up short-term procurement Following GSPC ruptured supply contract with GAIL GSPC has become another buyer on the market likely to procure six or seven more cargoes

this year Other Indian companies were heard to be in the market for May-June at prices under $1500MMBtu

In Europe Qatari deliveries into the UK continued to pick up mirroring the trend of 2013 while the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year was concluded at the Montoir termi-nal on Francersquos Atlantic coast

The outgoing ICIS East Asian Index (EAX) for May expired at $1521MMBtu having shed 8 over its period as front month The June index was pegged at just below $1500MMBtu with July at a $020MMBtu premi-um Japanese electricity utilities are expected to come to market to cater for heightened seasonal power generation demand

African volume there ndash Brazil key US-based energy supplier Chevron was heard to be offering at least two cargoes from Nigeria LNG (NLNG) with one available for late-May lifting and another linked to a 21 June loading Portuguese NLNG offtaker Galp is understood to have originally sold FOB cargoes for lifting on 2 June and 21 June to Petrobras and Chevron respectively

Achievable netback values for Nige-rian cargoes are substantially higher for June delivery into South America than into northeast Asia with Brazil still looking like

the most plausible buyer Petrobras however was also heard to have been in discussions for strip deals from BP and Shell to cover the upcoming months which could limit its spot demand

On the other hand there were increased signs that the warming weather pattern El Nino could soon appear The impact on Brazil could be a continuation of the dry weather which has increased the need for LNG be-cause of low hydro-power generation Reser-voir levels remain low across key generating regions

The GDF SUEZ Neptune brought a cargo into the floating storage and regasification unit at Brazilrsquos Guanabara Bay on 13 April ndash the third cargo brought in by the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ

Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS lifted the Seri Bega-wan as a reload from Zeebrugge on 13 April with the vessel due to arrive in Brazil on 30 April This would be the eighth cargo into Brazil in April In May 2013 Petrobras took in 10 cargoes

Argentinean state-buyers ENARSA and YPF could release a tender for June deliveries but no announcement has so far emerged

The LNG demand outlook is more muted from other South American countries Chilersquos Quintero terminal is expecting two spot de-liveries in the second quarter with buyers not expecting to require additional volume over the countryrsquos winter period

The LNG-purchasing GNL consortium is understood to have taken a spot cargo from BG for arrival in May with Shell to deliver another cargo in the first half of June Both cargoes were understood to originate from Trinidad in the low $1600sMMBtu when agreed in late March

No immediate demand is expected from Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE

Japan June demand surfacesThe relative lull in bidding interest from Japan recently has showed some signs of drawing to a close with three utility buyers reportedly bidding in the mid-$1400sMMBtu for June delivery At least four utilities were heard to have tank space but waiting to see if further price falls would come

But with northeast Asian markets show-ing a contango from June into July the delivery window for opportunistic buys is considered finite and closing The July DES price is above $1500MMBtu as power con-sumption across Japanese urban centres is expected to rise in line with seasonal demand for air-conditioning

The Japanese Meteorological Agency said there was a 40 probability of above-normal temperatures between June and August in several key regions of the country which would typically support the need for marginal LNG imports over the period

Visibility on July pricing in key Asian mar-kets was limited however with sellers said to

be holding offers back in case demand more clearly rebounded

In more recent spot ship movements Chinarsquos state owned buyer CNOOC was con-sidered the most likely winner of the recent Angola tender with the 160000cbm Sonan-gol Etosha headed for the CNOOC-controlled Zhejiang Ningbo terminal on 17 April Sources said the cargo was sold in the high $1400sMMBtu but this was not confirmed

Ship data also revealed another spot de-livery into China aboard the Statoil-controlled 155000cbm Arctic Aurora which is due to arrive at delivery an unidentified Chinese port on 18 April

In Japan the PETRONAS-controlled 145000cbm Seri Angkasa was due into the Oita terminal with a Nigeria-sourced cargo on 19 April Regional utility Kysuhu Electric is the main capacity holder at the terminal

Clarity on plant turnarounds The usual shutdown slate is kicking in over the spring period with more to come in the second half of the year However market impact was seen as limited with the loss of volume already factored in

The 33mtpa train two at Atlantic LNG in Trinidad was heard to have gone down for five days from 17 April The third train was reportedly due to undergo maintenance for six days from 1 July with train one also down for six days in August

Norwayrsquos Snohvit will shut down from 2 May to 9 June Two cargoes delivered from the facility into the Dutch Gate terminal were partly acting as storage for Statoil ahead of the shutdown sources said

A trader said the single-train Angola plant had begun 15 days of maintenance at the start of April with a 50-60 day outage planned from July-August

Spain still busy more into UKA further five reloads are planned from Spanish terminals in the second half of April ndash with Cartagena the most active While the push for fresh business appeared to slow down in the run up to the Easter holiday period six reloads are planned for May with an additional one straddling the end of April start of May This is double the number of reloads done last May

The EDFT-controlled 160000cbm Cool Voyager was due into Cartagena on 20 April with the cargo reload said to be due to go to South Korea The FOB reload price has hov-ered in the $1300sMMBtu in recent weeks

In the UK the trend of rising Qatari cargoes into South Hook in April continued in a similar trend to last year A total of five cargoes have already arrived into the Welsh facility with a further two scheduled in by the end of the month This would represent the highest volume intake since last November

Last April South Hook imports also jumped month on month to reach

CNOOC was considered the most likely winner

of the recent Angola tender

Henry HubNBP

939000 tonnes from Qatar in line with the end of the winter demand profile in north-east Asia NBP prices currently represent one of the lowest netback values with the front month at more than a three-year low ndash in part as a result of the increase in LNG arrivals But the liquidity of the hub and availability of buyers is still a useful flexible tool for spare cargoes

First 2014 STS transfer at MontoirThe French Montoir LNG facility carried out the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year on 12 April on two GDF SUEZ vessels Snohvit-sourced LNG was transferred over a period of two days from the 177000cbm Grace Dahlia to the 150000cbm Grace Barleria The latter was likely to head to South Korea to either of the countryrsquos independent importers GS Caltex or SK EampS a source said

Surge in shipping activityMore than 10 LNG carriers have been chartered in the last three weeks according to shipping sources with a growing discrepancy in rates in the Atlantic and the Pacific Ship owners have been more willing to renegotiate on re-delivery terms while keeping charter rates above $60000day for dual fuel diesel electric (DFDE) ships and in the $50000sday for steam turbine propulsion ships GDF SUEZ EDFT and Trafigura were all heard to have chartered 2013-built DFDE vessels

Canadian Triton LNG receives regulatory export licence Calgary-based AltaGas and its Japanese refining partner Idemitsu have received a 25-year export licence from Canadian energy regulators for their joint small-scale LNG ex-port project

The proposed venture which would either be located near Kitimat or Prince Rupert in British Columbia envisages a floating lique-faction storage and offloading (FLSO) vessel which would include two liquefaction trains

Known as Triton LNG the project received approval to export 23mtpa on 16 April from Canadarsquos National Energy Board (NEB) as well as an additional 15 annual tolerance as per Canadian export standards

ldquoWe have determined that the quantity of gas proposed to be exported by Triton LNG is surplus to Canadian needs The board is satis-fied that the gas resource base in Canada as well as North America is large and can ac-commodate reasonably foreseeable Canadian demand the proposed LNG exports and a plausible potential increase in demandrdquo the NEB order stated

Given the abundance of shale gas in North America the US is no longer importing Cana-dian gas which has stranded the countryrsquos gas reserves and spurred LNG export projects to be developed along the west coast of British Columbia

The Western Canadian export projects are targeting premium northeast Asian markets and Asian companies such as Idemitsu have partnered directly with project proponents through equity and offtake agreements in order to help commercialise the gas

However the Canadian liquefaction ventures and associated pipelines which are developed at a greenfield cost have stalled in reaching final investment because of the cost uncertainties associated with developing in such a rugged and remote environment

Canadarsquos provincial government officials and regulatory authorities have viewed themselves as backers of the LNG industry promoting the country as a desirable location to develop large energy infrastructure projects such as LNG exports

The next project awaiting its export licence is Goldboro LNG a scheme developed by Pieri-dae Energy in Guysborough Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada The 10mpta project has a 5mpta agreement in place with German utility EON on a European hub-indexation The project seeks to supply the LNG by requesting a flow reversal on the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline that runs from Canada to the US

The gap between the NEBrsquos last approval ndash on 16 December 2013 ndash and the Triton LNG approval on 16 April perhaps signals a more cautious approach by the government

While not as lengthy as the time that it took for the US Freeport LNG project to receive its long-awaited non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export licence from the US Depart-ment of Energy (DOE) the four-month pause between the Canadian projects has been the longest time period yet between approvals

In the interim the NEB also approved a 25-year application in February for a US pro-ject proposed on the west coast the planned 6mpta Jordan Cove venture developed by Cal-gary-based infrastructure company Veresen The Jordan Cove scheme proposes importing Canadian pipeline gas into the US and then bringing the volumes to the greenfield site in southwest Oregon to export as LNG

Triton LNG is the ninth project with a Cana-dian export licence

The NEB approved a batch of four projects in December 2013 These included BG Grouprsquos Prince Rupert facility Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest the ExxonMobil-Imperial Oil venture WCC and the Woodfibre LNG export project developed by the Singa-pore energy company Pacific Oil amp Gas

Royal Dutch Shell is leading a consortium with Chinarsquos PetroChina Japanese trading company Mitsubishi and Korearsquos KOGAS for a planned 12mtpa facility in Kitimat

The first Canadian project to receive its ex-port licence was in October 2011 the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG project which is now being jointly marketed by US-based producer Chevron and exploration and production com-pany Apache Corporation Ruth Liao

GIIGNL corrects annual reportA mid-term agreement between the An-gola LNG consortium and Brazilrsquos state-run Petrobras in the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL) report published on 8 April was incorrect according to the organi-sation The initial report stated that the two companies reached an agreement in 2013 for

400000 tonnes per annum on a four-year basis on delivered ex-ship (DES) terms

The information was considered incor-rectly documented as a wrong assumption and GIIGNL has since reissued a final report on its website removing the contract infor-mation Ruth Liao

Russia aims to finalise gas talks with China by MayRussiarsquos incumbent producer Gazprom hopes to finalise a 30-year gas agreement to supply China prior to President Vladimir Pu-tinrsquos approaching visit Arkady Dvorkovich Russiarsquos deputy prime minister said on 14 April as quoted by the Russian media

ldquoOn gas the talks are nearing a close and there is a mutual intention to finish this work before the Russian presidentrsquos visit in Mayrdquo Dvorkovich said during a televised government meeting

ldquoConsultations are ongoing and Gazpromrsquos management are holding talks with Chinese partners on the contract terms We hope to conclude the contract in May and believe it should come into effect by the year endrdquo Dvorkovich said

The agreement would involve the export of 38 billion cubic metres (bcm)year of pipe-line gas starting in 2018

Volumes could be ramped up to 70bcmyear over the course of 30 years The framework agreement between Gazprom and government-controlled China National Petroleum Corporation was signed back in 2009

Negotiations have taken place over the course of the last 10 years with pricing seen as the main roadblock to reaching the agree-ment

However with growing political tensions over Russiarsquos involvement in Ukrainersquos crisis and the subsequent annexation of Crimea China could have gained a bargaining ad-vantage with the potential increasing isola-tion of Russia from western gas markets

Russia has been actively seeking alterna-tive markets in Asia to export gas either through pipeline from fields mainly in Si-beria and the Russian Far East or as LNG to decrease dependence on European imports Russia has few exports markets for gas out-side Europe

lsquoEconomic sanctions from the EU cou-pled with potential competition of shale gas exports from the US ndash as LNG or shale gas develops in Europe ndash could mean a diminish-ing market for Russian gas

As a result Russian export strategy has become mainly Asia-oriented with the po-tential development of several LNG projects including Vladivostok and the expansion of the Sakhalin-2 LNG project with another train

China needs gas to satisfy its growing energy needs as well as to replace coal-fired power generation in densely populated parts of the country Roman Kazmin

Japanrsquos energy plan warns about LNG dependenceJapanrsquos cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sources of power generation and relegates LNG to an inter-mediate load source status according to the plan released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) on 11 April The energy plan which lays out the countryrsquos energy policies for the next 20 years warned about the need to avoid exces-sive reliance on high-priced LNG imports as a substitution for nuclear power generation but did not include any numerical targets for the countryrsquos long-term energy mix

ldquoJapan should avoid excessive depen-dence on LNG as a source of power genera-tion and promote cost reductions by diversify-ing its supply sourcesrdquo the plan said

The plan suggests a number of actions that can be taken at the corporate and in-stitutional levels to reduce the cost of LNG imports such as diversifying contract price indexations eliminating destination restric-tions increasing investment in upstream developments and supporting joint procure-ment agreements to increase buyersrsquo bar-gaining power

ldquoIt is necessary to continue to support strategic efforts towards joint procurementrdquo the plan said

The plan anticipates that US shale gas exports will have a positive impact on the Japanese and global markets from 2017 as these contracts will be linked to the US Henry Hub gas benchmark and will not include a destination restriction clause which means offtakers will be able to trade volumes inter-nationally

ldquoUS LNG will contribute not only to the improvement of the global trading environ-ment but also to the creation of an LNG futures marketrdquo the plan said

Fourth planJapanrsquos energy plan which was drafted in December 2013 but only released by METI for cabinet approval on 18 March is the countryrsquos fourth basic energy plan and the first one formulated since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Since then Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90

The plan highlights the key role that coal and nuclear power sources are expected to play in the countryrsquos energy mix (For more on this see the Focus on Japan)

The plan re-evaluated the key role that nuclear power is to play in the countryrsquos en-ergy mix and states that Japan will proceed to

restart those nuclear reactors that have suc-cessfully passed the safety assessments by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) and have received approval by the local governments

This reverses the previous Democratic Party of Japan governmentrsquos decision to phase out nuclear power generation by 2040 in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster

Nuclear energy remains an efficient abundant and stable source of power sup-ply which can be domestically produced at relatively low operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions the plan said The priority lies in ensuring the safety of the nuclear power plants it added

Power market liberalisation by 2020The plan highlighted the importance of reforms aimed at liberalising the downstream power markets The full liberalisation of the downstream power generation and retail markets are being advanced through three stages with completion of stage three expected in 2020 the plan said

ldquoBy promoting legal neutrality in the power transmission and distribution sector we will tackle limitations in the conventional power system and increase investment in the power distribution networkrdquo the plan said Abache Abreu

Thailandrsquos PTT in talks for up to 1mtpa of long-term supply from BP

Thailandrsquos state-owned buyer PTT is in discussions with UK-headquartered oil and gas major BP for the long-term supply of up to 1mtpa of LNG on a delivered ex ship (DES) basis starting from 2015 a PTT company offi-cial said in a telephone interview on 11 April

ldquoWe are in discussions with many suppli-ers to make sure we have the best deal for the best interest of the countryrdquo said Nutta-chat Charuchinda chief operations officer of PTTrsquos downstream petroleum business group

ldquoWe would like to see the best options that are available to us [hellip] a basket of supply to make sure that we have security of supply at the best pricerdquo he said

PTT is open to different sources of supply and price indexationsldquo whether it is linked to crude oil JCC [Japanese Crude Cocktail] or Henry Hubrdquo Charuchinda said

Additional contractual agreements are sought in response to PTTrsquos own energy forecasts which foresee a rise in Thailandrsquos domestic energy consumption and an in-crease in the share natural gas holds in the countryrsquos energy mix in relation to coal and nuclear power generation On the other hand the countryrsquos energy reserves are fast dwindling according to PTT while pipeline gas imports from neighbouring countries are increasingly limited

PTT has so far signed two long-term agreements for a total supply of 46mtpa by 2020 In December 2012 PTT signed its first long-term LNG contract with Qatargas for the supply of 2mpta of LNG for 20 years start-ing in 2015 In December 2013 PTT signed a preliminary deal with US-based Anadarko Petroleum for the procurement of 26mpta from Mozambique starting from 2018-2019

Additional 1mtpa might be enoughIn the long term PTT might be interested in securing additional supply from North America or east Africa but having secured 46mtpa under long-term contracts an additional 1mtpa supply might be sufficient to meet the Thai buyerrsquos mid-term demand requirements a Singapore-based analyst said

ldquoPTT has realised they need more LNG but with almost 5mtpa in contracts and an additional 1mtpa under discussion they might wait and see before they start buying againrdquo said Tony Regan an analyst at Singa-pore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoPTT could be cautious and assume they might not be able to get more gas from Myanmar domestic reserves are declining and there is little potential for that to recoverrdquo he said ldquoBut I think they will wait Otherwise they are going to see prices firming because

of all this buying activity Also they have been relatively slow to develop their domestic market for regasified LNG There is a huge industry nearby but it is taking them time to secure contracts with offtakers and arrange truck lifting from the terminalrdquo

Spot procurement set to continueWhile PTT aims to meet most of its demand requirements through long-term contracts the Thai buyer will continue to supplement any shortages through spot LNG purchases

ldquoWe cannot commit [wholly] to term supply Some spot supply [will continue]rdquo Charuchinda said The company recently awarded a single-cargo buy tender for deliv-ery between 5-20 May and is in the market for additional June-delivery volumes

ldquo[PTT] has finished procurement for May [and] will now start looking for June [deliver-ies]rdquo a source close to the tender process said

PTT typically limits participation in its ten-ders to parties with which it has previously concluded master sales agreements Winners of 2013 PTT tenders include Qatari supplier Qatargas Francersquos GDF SUEZ UK-based BG Group and Anglo-Dutch major Shell Nor-wayrsquos Statoil Francersquos Total and Russiarsquos Gazprom have also participated in the 2013 tenders Abache Abreu

GSPC increases LNG market participation ahead of MundraIndian natural gas trader Gujarat State Pe-troleum Corporation (GSPC) has stepped up its short-term LNG procurement following the rupture of a 15-year contract it previ-ously held with state-owned importer GAIL

GSPC has been independently looking for cargoes since March and is no longer relying on GAIL for supplies of about eight LNG cargoes per year a source close to the situation has told ICIS

GAIL had previously sought to renegoti-ate the price of its regasified LNG supplies to GSPC on the back of increases in trans-portation tariffs and rising international LNG prices since 2011 ICIS understands

While the Supreme Court of India up-held GAILrsquos right to negotiate prices for gas delivery from 2014 both parties failed to agree on a suitable price arrangement

A document from the Supreme Court in September 2013 revealed ldquoThe fact that no agreement could be reached between GAIL and GSPC regarding the price of gas [means that] the agreement shall stand terminated with effect from 01012014 and the parties hereto shall stand relieved of their obligation under the Agreementrdquo

As a result GSPC has now increased its presence on the LNG market in order to supply downstream customers engaged in power generation steel and city gas distri-bution

The company has taken delivery of a Qatar-sourced spot cargo on 11 April at the Dahej LNG terminal ICIS understands the cargo was delivered at a landed cost in the $1630sMMBtu

The ICIS DES [delivered ex-ship] India price was assessed for the final time for

April delivery at $1645MMBtu on 14 March

GSPC awards Mundra EPC contract GSPC as the developer of what would be the state of Gujaratrsquos third LNG terminal ndash the Mundra regasification project ndash has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project to Japanrsquos Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO) it said in a statement on 14 April

The 5mtpa project on Indiarsquos west coast is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2016

Despite ground work on the terminal moving ahead GSPC has yet to find a part-ner for a 25 stake in the terminal ICIS understands

In December 2013 India Gas Solutions (IGS) ndash the 5050 joint venture of UK-based BP and Indiarsquos Reliance Industries ndash along with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Indian state companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) were all short-listed for the second round of the stake sale

However no decision has been taken as yet on the second round adding to the speculation that the terminal may miss its targeted start-up date in 2016

The state of Gujarat already has two operational LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej with sources in India noting that expansions at the two facilities may leave Mundra a second-best choice for customers in the area

ldquoThe tariffs at Mundra being a green-field project are expected to be higher compared with Dahejrdquo one source said Ranjana KaushalLudovic Aldersley

Greece in talks with infrastructure provider

Greecersquos minister of environment energy and climate change met with floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) provider Golar LNG regarding a planned import terminal in the north of the country the ministry said on 15 April Greecersquos state-owned gas supply com-pany DEPA is progressing plans to have a 3-5 billion cubic metre (bcm)year FSRU by 2017 which the European Commission considers as a project of common interest

The feasibility study and environmental impact study prepared by DEPA are currently in the final stages according to minister Yian-nis Maniatis

ldquoThe importance of the project together with the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) are major pillars of enhancing energy security of the regionrdquo the Ministry said adding its importance is further ldquore-flected by the advanced consultations with governments and companies from Bulgaria and Romaniardquo

Several LNG terminal developments have been proposed across southeast Europe with an eye on the wider regional market

Within Greece DEPArsquos FSRU proposal is one of three projects that includes expansion of the existing 5bcmyear Revithoussa terminal and a separate FSRU proposal from domestic energy conglomerate Copelouzos

ldquoGolar has expressed its interest in full participation in financing the project provid-ing significant flexibility in the implementation of the overall projectrdquo the Greek ministry said

In parallel to the LNG infrastructure projects the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector is scheduled to be sanctioned in mid-2014 ahead of a 2016 start-up with an initial 3bcmyear capacity ICIS understands Ludovic Aldersley

Taipower could extend lifespan of its nuclear power plantsTaiwanese state-owned utility Taipower could apply to extend the lifespan of its three existing nuclear plant fleet if its fourth facil-ity which is still under construction is not brought on line due to public opposition according to a company source

Taipower hopes that the plant ndash which is located in Gongliao district New Taipei City ndash can become operational next year It will be able to generate around 193TWhyear the source said

With Taipowerrsquos existing nuclear power plants heading for decommissioning in the

coming years there is a risk of power short-ages by 2016 he added

The two units of Taipowerrsquos No 1 nuclear plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018 and 2019 respectively while the two units in the second plant will expire in 2021 and 2022 The two units in the third plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024 and 2025 respectively according to Taiwanrsquos Atomic Energy Council

Taipower is considering using alterna-tive sources of energy such as natural gas and coal but feels nuclear energy has

many advantages ldquoIt will be very difficult and expensive to use alternative sources of energy to make up any shortfallrdquo the source said

The price of importing LNG is very expen-sive compared to nuclear power generation Furthermore the amount of LNG that can be imported is also limited by Taiwanrsquos LNG terminal capacity

ldquoWe would need to build additional in-frastructure such as LNG receiving terminals tanks and pipelines if we want to import enough LNG to cover the shortfall of nuclear powerrdquo the source said Hairul Borhan

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS for the daily European Gas Fundamentals report

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

There were mixed directions at the NBP on 29 May with the prompt strengthening a touch in the morning because of an unex-pected outage However by the end of the session most of the gains had come off

The bearish movement that had characterised the near curve in the past two sessions continued early in the session on Thursday although losses for June rsquo14 were less pronounced than on Wednes-day Then an unplanned outage at ConocoPhillipsrsquo North Sea J-Block gas fields pushed prompt prices temporarily in the opposite direction

The far curve was mostly range-bound during the day although some of the seasons made small gains as a result of a falling pound sterling relative to the euro This can often lift contracts as demand rises from traders with euros to spend

The South Hook LNG terminal continued to provide significant volumes to the British system with output from the site flowing at a rate of around 50 million cubic metres (mcm)day throughout the session Traders suggested that oversupply is still expected but this has mostly been priced into the front month contract now

NYMEX natural gas futures slid for the first time in four sessions closing down as the market digested the latest weekly gas storage report from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA)

The July rsquo14 contract closed its first day as the front month at $456MMBtu down by $006MMBtu from the previous dayrsquos close because of bearish sentiment stemming from the EIA report

Losses of at least $003MMBtu were registered across the board at the close of the 29 Mayrsquos session

The EIA report had detailed the highest weekly injection into US inventories in five years over the week ended 23 May US natural gas stocks posted a third consecutive weekly rise over the week just gone surging by 114 billion cubic feet (bcf) ndash or 32 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash for the first time since mid-June 2009

Stocks now stand just below 14 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or 396 bcm the EIA report showed still some way short of the year-ago and five-year average levels for this week

The depleted nature of US inventories and the impending onset of the summer cooling season offered some support to the bulls

The vessel loaded its cargo from the Ni-geria LNG (NLNG) facility in Bonny Island on 26 May and is now positioned heading west across the Atlantic Ocean The vessel is ex-pected to arrive in Brazil on 7 June although the port is unspecified

PETRONAS which does not have offtake capacity from NLNG is understood to have purchased the cargo on an FOB basis How-ever the supplier of the late May Nigeria-sourced spot cargo could not be confirmed

The Malaysian company was heard to have been awarded a tranche of 18 cargoes from Portuguese seller Galp Energia for a mid-term agreement starting in 2015

The 152000cbm Seri Begawan last deliv-ered a cargo on behalf of PETRONAS to the Salvador floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) in the state of Bahia on 28 April

Market sources considered Petrobras to be quiet in the market for prompt cargoes

having secured most of its summer require-ments in advance from select sellers

France-based GDF SUEZ UK-headquar-tered BG Group Norwayrsquos Statoil Anglo-Dutch major Shell and London-based EDF Trading have all delivered cargoes to Brazil in April May and June

A source in the Atlantic basin said buy-ing activity from Petrobras is expected to be muted for the rest of the third quarter

BG delivers reload to South KoreaThe 155000cbm GasLog Shanghai is currently sailing towards South Korea according to vessel-tracking data

The vessel under the control of portfolio seller BG Group is carrying a reload cargo from Francersquos Fos Cavaou LNG terminal to the Gwangyang LNG terminal in South Korea

It is expected to reach its destination on 2 June after departing from Fos Cavaou on

27 April It is likely to be delivering the cargo to South Korea-based steelmaker POSCO which operates the Gwangyang terminal

POSCO currently imports 055mtpa of LNG from the BP-led Tangguh plant in Indonesia under a 20-year contract through to 2024 Trading sources indicated that Paris-based portfolio sellers would likely be behind an FOB sale to BG Group

Both Total and GDF SUEZ are capacity holders at Fos Cavaou Up to 100000cbm of volumes are allowed to be reloaded from Fos due to regulations

Also heading to South Korea is the 173000cbm Ribera del Duero Knutsen ac-cording to vessel-tracking data

The vessel under the control of Shell departed from Bonny Island on 27 May and is expected to reach Incheon port on 24 June It is likely to deliver the cargo to KOGAS which operates the terminal

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has revamped the order of pending non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) LNG export ap-plications in order to prioritise ldquocommercially advancedrdquo projects

This means projects that have received permitting approval from the US Federal En-ergy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will now be eligible for DOE approval first instead of waiting through a queue that established precedence based on the order of when the application was received

ldquoThe Department intends to make final public interest determinations only after a project has completed the NEPA [National Environmental Policy Act] process instead of issuing conditional authorisationsrdquo DOE said in a 29 May statement

DOE first established the order of prec-edence for non-FTA export licenses on 5 December 2012 after the agency was over-whelmed with a wave of export proposals

A non-FTA country is any country that does not have a free trade agreement with the US This comprises many of the key LNG importers including Japan China and India

While DOE must automatically approve an FTA export license the agency has discretion over when to approve non-FTA applications

Cheniere was the first company to hatch the idea of the Sabine Pass LNG import termi-nal as a liquefaction plant but after receiving its non-FTA license in 2010

DOE then stalled for a year and a half be-fore issuing further export licenses as public debate weighed in on industrial consumersrsquo views on the price of natural gas and the industryrsquos environmental impact

In the last four years DOE has issued seven non-FTA conditional licenses for six US

LNG projects Chenierersquos first four trains at Sabine Pass the 132mtpa Freeport LNG the 15mtpa Lake Charles Dominionrsquos 525mtpa Cove Point LNG Semprarsquos 12mpta Cameron LNG and the 6mpta Jordan Cove proposal

This new policy is not anticipated to change any of those conditional orders that have already been issued

Changes for remaining applicants Currently 24 export applications for non-FTA licenses are yet to be considered They range from small-scale concepts aiming to target the fledgling Caribbean market to major international companies such as ExxonMobil that carry the balance sheet to clear the high capital costs of an export project ranging in the tens of billions of dollars

Under the new scheme projects await-ing a non-FTA license must now have the final approval under regulations in the NEPA review which is under FERCrsquos jurisdiction before DOE will issue an export license

Of the pending projects the most advanced in FERC permitting applications include US-based Excelerate Energyrsquos Lavaca Bay greenfield floating LNG project in Texas Chenierersquos second greenfield 135mtpa Cor-pus Christi venture and the proposed 8mpta Magnolia LNG greenfield project in Lake Charles Louisiana This also bodes well for the US LNG export expansion proposed for ExxonMobil and Qatar Petroleumrsquos Golden Pass slated for 15mpta although Golden Pass has not advanced much further than preliminary FERC filings

DOE also released two studies addressing the environmental impact of unconventional natural gas production and the lifecycle green-house gas impacts of US LNG exports The new

proposed policy along with the studies will now go through a 45-day comment period

Shortly after DOErsquos announcement US Senator Mary Landrieu a Democrat from Louisiana who chairs the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources issued a statement welcoming the decision Landrieu was among several lawmakers in March who called on DOE to consider changing its order of precedence for LNG export projects

Landrieu stated the decision by DOE to streamline the permit approval process is ldquoa positive step forward to responsibly export Americarsquos abundant supply of natural gasrdquo

Oregon LNG considers new policy The greenfield Oregon LNG project proposed for Warrenton Oregon was the next applicant in the non-FTA application queue

The planned 95mtpa plant envisages importing Canadian natural gas through pipe-lines in the Kingsgate and Huntingdon hubs near the British Columbia border Its CEO Peter Hansen told ICIS the new proposed non-FTA approval policy should not immediately affect the consideration of its export application

ldquoItrsquos sort of a two-edged sword Obvi-ously regulatory certainty is something that we really needrdquo he said ldquoOn the other hand I can see why the DOE would say this for pro-jects that are far down the path on permitsrdquo

The project expects to receive its schedul-ing notice from FERC in the ldquonear futurerdquo and could receive a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) by this autumn Hansen said

Oregon LNG has not secured any long-term contracts with buyers though Hansen said it has signed memorandums of agree-ment (MOUs) with ldquoAsian and North Ameri-can companiesrdquo Ruth Liao

Japanrsquos INPEX signs agreements to sell gas from Prelude FLNG

Published on the ICIS Dashboard at 1000

Indiarsquos gas network operator GAIL has decreased its spot LNG buying activity for the next two to three months

ldquoGAIL will not be active in the spot market for June-July as [its] key domestic customers have stopped buying gasrdquo a source familiar with the issue said

With the appoint-ment of new petro-leum and natural gas minister Dharmendra Pradhan on 27 May and the likely roll-out of a new budget in June there may be some buying activity for July to August However overall demand is still expected to be weak ndash potentially for one or two spot cargoes only

ldquoGAIL might buy one or two cargoes for July-August at $1100-1150MMBtu but discussions around these with sellers will happen only after the budget is rolled outrdquo a source said

Other Indian buyers such as Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) which has captive LNG demand for its refinery in Jamnagar Gujarat is looking at purchasing one to two spot de-liveries for the July-August period

RIL is targeting deals below $1300MMBtu on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis and is in discussions for spot deliveries with Qatari sellers according to sources

Reliancersquos demand is expected to be steady for the rest of the year unlike GAIL Petronet LNG and Gujarat State Petroleum Corp (GSPC) whose demand wanes on a seasonal basis

GSPC and Petronet LNG have noticed demand from industrial clients slow down during the monsoon season which runs from mid-May onwards to mid-September As a result both companies are not very active in the spot market for July-August deliveries

Slowdown in downstream sales As one of Indiarsquos largest LNG importers GAILrsquos key customers such as the domestic power and fertilizer companies have stopped buying gas for power generation in the past month as they have run out of government-aided fuel subsidies

The new Nar-endra Modi-led government is likely to release subsidies in June but no date has been fixed Also previous govern-ments have talked about cutting down subsidies by

15 for fertilizer companies and the new government is likely to implement the subsidy cut sources said

Power companies in India have switched to using coal from gas in the past two months as prices of power generated from coal is two times cheaper compared with gas

In the absence of demand from fertilizer and power companies GAIL is now selling its long- and medium-term LNG supplies to private customers that comprise steel and small-scale industries The price at which GAIL is supplying LNG to private customers is estimated at $1200-1300MMBtu Power and fertilizer companies make up 70 of GAILrsquos total customer portfolio

ldquoThe lack of demand from large custom-ers has forced us to sell LNG to other con-sumersrdquo the source said

In the week of 30 May during the release of GAILrsquos first-quarter results chairman BC Tri-pathi said GAIL will be importing 36 cargoes this financial year which began in April Of these 18 are expected to be procured in the spot market In the first quarter GAIL received seven to eight cargoes at the Dabhol and Da-hej LNG terminals Ranjana Kaushal

Indiarsquos GAIL slows down July-August spot buying activity

INPEX is negotiating the sale of LNG to To-kyo Electric (TEPCO) and Shizuoka Gas from the Prelude floating LNG (FLNG) project in Australia the Japanese oil and gas company said in a statement on 27 May

INPEX will deliver 560000 tonnes of LNG per annum to TEPCO and 70000 tonnes per annum to Shizuoka Gas for eight years on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis INPEX said

Deliveries will begin in 2017 according to the statement The companies are still finalis-ing details of the proposed contracts and did not disclose prices

The signing of the Heads of Agreements (HOAs) represents INPEXrsquos first sale of LNG from the Prelude FLNG project The project is a vessel built to float in the waters off the coast of western Australia pump up and liquefy the natural gas from the undersea Prelude gasfield

INPEX owns 175 in the project while a subsidiary of Anglo-Dutch major Shell holds a 675 stake and acts as operator South Ko-rearsquos KOGAS holds 10 and Taiwanrsquos monoly importer CPC owns a 5 stake

The Prelude project will start producing LNG by 2017 and produce at least 36mtpa of natural gas at its peak INPEX said in the statement Ben Lefebvre

Chilersquos state copper miner Codelco has taken its first step towards achieving consist-ent LNG supply for its mining operations in the north of the South American country af-ter signing a long-term agreement with com-patriot gas distribution company Metrogas

Metrogas is expected to deliver volumes to the Mejillones terminal in northern Chile from 2016 as part of an extension to a recently announced short-term supply agreement with the worldrsquos largest copper producer multiple Americas-based sources told ICIS

Gas will be sourced by Metrogas through its existing supply contract for the Quintero terminal in central Chile with British portfolio supplier BG Group

Under the amended terms of the supply agreement reached between the parties in 2012 Metrogas is able to divert volumes from Quintero to other Chilean ports

ldquoMetrogas will resell the gas to Codelco The agreement is on a long-term period and

is based on the low price at which Metrogas buys LNG from BG Group and the fact that they can decide between Quintero and Mejil-lonesrdquo a South American source told ICIS

A Metrogas spokesperson declined to comment on the nature of companyrsquos future supply commitments with Codelco when contacted by ICIS A Codelco spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment submitted by ICIS

Although the exact volumes that Metro-gas will send to Codelco are undefined the Santiago-based gas distributor is already un-derstood to have fully allocated its Quintero volumes for 2016 onwards

Existing customers of the distributor will not see contracts up for renewal next year extended as Metrogas looks to guarantee supplies to Codelco one Americas-based source told ICIS

This includes the reallocation of at least two 160000cbm cargoes a year provided to power generators on the countryrsquos ❯❯ Page 13

Codelco eyes long-term Metrogas LNG diversions

BP and Shell to supply Kuwait with third seller in the wingsAnglo-Dutch major Shell and UK-head-quartered BP have signed agreements to supply Kuwait with LNG over a five- to six-year period a Kuwait Petroleum Corp (KPC) official was quoted as saying on 13 April in the local media

Jamal Al-Loughani deputy managing director of marketing operations at KPC told the Kuwaiti daily newspaper Al-Seyassah that three portfolio sellers will supply KPC with a total of about 25mtpa of LNG with deliver-ies expected to be allocated over Kuwaitrsquos peak summer demand season which typically runs from end-March to November

KPC is expected to sign the supply con-tract with a third company by the end of this week Al-Loughani added While the identity

of the third supplier was not revealed Qatar-gas and Russian incumbent Gazprom were both mentioned as potential suppliers by industry sources

Gazprom said on 25 March that it was looking to expand cooperation with Kuwait on LNG The company supplied two spot cargoes to the country in 2011

However a source familiar with the issue said that negotiations between KPC and Gazprom involved deliveries of the proposed Vladivostok project volumes rather than existing mid-term volumes for delivery to a planned Kuwait onshore terminal from 2020 The supplier of mid-term volumes in the interim would be Qatargas according to the source ❯❯ Page 15

June-July demand in focus

Asian markets were back in contango with July at a premium to June amid increasing evidence that the recent reduction in prices in the region may have bottomed out

Prompt supply availability is well balanced globally but is said to have grown stronger in the Atlantic than in the Pacific basin with more flexible volumes emerging from Nigeria and Spain Demand from Brazil meanwhile continues to make it the premium buyer in South America

Brazilrsquos state-owned importer Petrobras was awarded a free-on-board (FOB) Nige-rian cargo for loading on 2 June while other prompt cargoes from west Africa have also been offered and transacted

In the Pacific basin some traders also said they expected imminent offers from the new Papua New Guinea LNG facility Project de-veloper ExxonMobil has said first volumes will be exported by mid-year and once the ramp up is complete one source estimated as many as four or five spot cargoes could be available per month

With Japanese buyers absent from recent buying activity Indian buyers have stepped up short-term procurement Following GSPC ruptured supply contract with GAIL GSPC has become another buyer on the market likely to procure six or seven more cargoes

this year Other Indian companies were heard to be in the market for May-June at prices under $1500MMBtu

In Europe Qatari deliveries into the UK continued to pick up mirroring the trend of 2013 while the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year was concluded at the Montoir termi-nal on Francersquos Atlantic coast

The outgoing ICIS East Asian Index (EAX) for May expired at $1521MMBtu having shed 8 over its period as front month The June index was pegged at just below $1500MMBtu with July at a $020MMBtu premi-um Japanese electricity utilities are expected to come to market to cater for heightened seasonal power generation demand

African volume there ndash Brazil key US-based energy supplier Chevron was heard to be offering at least two cargoes from Nigeria LNG (NLNG) with one available for late-May lifting and another linked to a 21 June loading Portuguese NLNG offtaker Galp is understood to have originally sold FOB cargoes for lifting on 2 June and 21 June to Petrobras and Chevron respectively

Achievable netback values for Nige-rian cargoes are substantially higher for June delivery into South America than into northeast Asia with Brazil still looking like

the most plausible buyer Petrobras however was also heard to have been in discussions for strip deals from BP and Shell to cover the upcoming months which could limit its spot demand

On the other hand there were increased signs that the warming weather pattern El Nino could soon appear The impact on Brazil could be a continuation of the dry weather which has increased the need for LNG be-cause of low hydro-power generation Reser-voir levels remain low across key generating regions

The GDF SUEZ Neptune brought a cargo into the floating storage and regasification unit at Brazilrsquos Guanabara Bay on 13 April ndash the third cargo brought in by the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ

Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS lifted the Seri Bega-wan as a reload from Zeebrugge on 13 April with the vessel due to arrive in Brazil on 30 April This would be the eighth cargo into Brazil in April In May 2013 Petrobras took in 10 cargoes

Argentinean state-buyers ENARSA and YPF could release a tender for June deliveries but no announcement has so far emerged

The LNG demand outlook is more muted from other South American countries Chilersquos Quintero terminal is expecting two spot de-liveries in the second quarter with buyers not expecting to require additional volume over the countryrsquos winter period

The LNG-purchasing GNL consortium is understood to have taken a spot cargo from BG for arrival in May with Shell to deliver another cargo in the first half of June Both cargoes were understood to originate from Trinidad in the low $1600sMMBtu when agreed in late March

No immediate demand is expected from Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE

Japan June demand surfacesThe relative lull in bidding interest from Japan recently has showed some signs of drawing to a close with three utility buyers reportedly bidding in the mid-$1400sMMBtu for June delivery At least four utilities were heard to have tank space but waiting to see if further price falls would come

But with northeast Asian markets show-ing a contango from June into July the delivery window for opportunistic buys is considered finite and closing The July DES price is above $1500MMBtu as power con-sumption across Japanese urban centres is expected to rise in line with seasonal demand for air-conditioning

The Japanese Meteorological Agency said there was a 40 probability of above-normal temperatures between June and August in several key regions of the country which would typically support the need for marginal LNG imports over the period

Visibility on July pricing in key Asian mar-kets was limited however with sellers said to

be holding offers back in case demand more clearly rebounded

In more recent spot ship movements Chinarsquos state owned buyer CNOOC was con-sidered the most likely winner of the recent Angola tender with the 160000cbm Sonan-gol Etosha headed for the CNOOC-controlled Zhejiang Ningbo terminal on 17 April Sources said the cargo was sold in the high $1400sMMBtu but this was not confirmed

Ship data also revealed another spot de-livery into China aboard the Statoil-controlled 155000cbm Arctic Aurora which is due to arrive at delivery an unidentified Chinese port on 18 April

In Japan the PETRONAS-controlled 145000cbm Seri Angkasa was due into the Oita terminal with a Nigeria-sourced cargo on 19 April Regional utility Kysuhu Electric is the main capacity holder at the terminal

Clarity on plant turnarounds The usual shutdown slate is kicking in over the spring period with more to come in the second half of the year However market impact was seen as limited with the loss of volume already factored in

The 33mtpa train two at Atlantic LNG in Trinidad was heard to have gone down for five days from 17 April The third train was reportedly due to undergo maintenance for six days from 1 July with train one also down for six days in August

Norwayrsquos Snohvit will shut down from 2 May to 9 June Two cargoes delivered from the facility into the Dutch Gate terminal were partly acting as storage for Statoil ahead of the shutdown sources said

A trader said the single-train Angola plant had begun 15 days of maintenance at the start of April with a 50-60 day outage planned from July-August

Spain still busy more into UKA further five reloads are planned from Spanish terminals in the second half of April ndash with Cartagena the most active While the push for fresh business appeared to slow down in the run up to the Easter holiday period six reloads are planned for May with an additional one straddling the end of April start of May This is double the number of reloads done last May

The EDFT-controlled 160000cbm Cool Voyager was due into Cartagena on 20 April with the cargo reload said to be due to go to South Korea The FOB reload price has hov-ered in the $1300sMMBtu in recent weeks

In the UK the trend of rising Qatari cargoes into South Hook in April continued in a similar trend to last year A total of five cargoes have already arrived into the Welsh facility with a further two scheduled in by the end of the month This would represent the highest volume intake since last November

Last April South Hook imports also jumped month on month to reach

CNOOC was considered the most likely winner

of the recent Angola tender

Henry HubNBP

939000 tonnes from Qatar in line with the end of the winter demand profile in north-east Asia NBP prices currently represent one of the lowest netback values with the front month at more than a three-year low ndash in part as a result of the increase in LNG arrivals But the liquidity of the hub and availability of buyers is still a useful flexible tool for spare cargoes

First 2014 STS transfer at MontoirThe French Montoir LNG facility carried out the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year on 12 April on two GDF SUEZ vessels Snohvit-sourced LNG was transferred over a period of two days from the 177000cbm Grace Dahlia to the 150000cbm Grace Barleria The latter was likely to head to South Korea to either of the countryrsquos independent importers GS Caltex or SK EampS a source said

Surge in shipping activityMore than 10 LNG carriers have been chartered in the last three weeks according to shipping sources with a growing discrepancy in rates in the Atlantic and the Pacific Ship owners have been more willing to renegotiate on re-delivery terms while keeping charter rates above $60000day for dual fuel diesel electric (DFDE) ships and in the $50000sday for steam turbine propulsion ships GDF SUEZ EDFT and Trafigura were all heard to have chartered 2013-built DFDE vessels

Canadian Triton LNG receives regulatory export licence Calgary-based AltaGas and its Japanese refining partner Idemitsu have received a 25-year export licence from Canadian energy regulators for their joint small-scale LNG ex-port project

The proposed venture which would either be located near Kitimat or Prince Rupert in British Columbia envisages a floating lique-faction storage and offloading (FLSO) vessel which would include two liquefaction trains

Known as Triton LNG the project received approval to export 23mtpa on 16 April from Canadarsquos National Energy Board (NEB) as well as an additional 15 annual tolerance as per Canadian export standards

ldquoWe have determined that the quantity of gas proposed to be exported by Triton LNG is surplus to Canadian needs The board is satis-fied that the gas resource base in Canada as well as North America is large and can ac-commodate reasonably foreseeable Canadian demand the proposed LNG exports and a plausible potential increase in demandrdquo the NEB order stated

Given the abundance of shale gas in North America the US is no longer importing Cana-dian gas which has stranded the countryrsquos gas reserves and spurred LNG export projects to be developed along the west coast of British Columbia

The Western Canadian export projects are targeting premium northeast Asian markets and Asian companies such as Idemitsu have partnered directly with project proponents through equity and offtake agreements in order to help commercialise the gas

However the Canadian liquefaction ventures and associated pipelines which are developed at a greenfield cost have stalled in reaching final investment because of the cost uncertainties associated with developing in such a rugged and remote environment

Canadarsquos provincial government officials and regulatory authorities have viewed themselves as backers of the LNG industry promoting the country as a desirable location to develop large energy infrastructure projects such as LNG exports

The next project awaiting its export licence is Goldboro LNG a scheme developed by Pieri-dae Energy in Guysborough Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada The 10mpta project has a 5mpta agreement in place with German utility EON on a European hub-indexation The project seeks to supply the LNG by requesting a flow reversal on the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline that runs from Canada to the US

The gap between the NEBrsquos last approval ndash on 16 December 2013 ndash and the Triton LNG approval on 16 April perhaps signals a more cautious approach by the government

While not as lengthy as the time that it took for the US Freeport LNG project to receive its long-awaited non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export licence from the US Depart-ment of Energy (DOE) the four-month pause between the Canadian projects has been the longest time period yet between approvals

In the interim the NEB also approved a 25-year application in February for a US pro-ject proposed on the west coast the planned 6mpta Jordan Cove venture developed by Cal-gary-based infrastructure company Veresen The Jordan Cove scheme proposes importing Canadian pipeline gas into the US and then bringing the volumes to the greenfield site in southwest Oregon to export as LNG

Triton LNG is the ninth project with a Cana-dian export licence

The NEB approved a batch of four projects in December 2013 These included BG Grouprsquos Prince Rupert facility Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest the ExxonMobil-Imperial Oil venture WCC and the Woodfibre LNG export project developed by the Singa-pore energy company Pacific Oil amp Gas

Royal Dutch Shell is leading a consortium with Chinarsquos PetroChina Japanese trading company Mitsubishi and Korearsquos KOGAS for a planned 12mtpa facility in Kitimat

The first Canadian project to receive its ex-port licence was in October 2011 the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG project which is now being jointly marketed by US-based producer Chevron and exploration and production com-pany Apache Corporation Ruth Liao

GIIGNL corrects annual reportA mid-term agreement between the An-gola LNG consortium and Brazilrsquos state-run Petrobras in the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL) report published on 8 April was incorrect according to the organi-sation The initial report stated that the two companies reached an agreement in 2013 for

400000 tonnes per annum on a four-year basis on delivered ex-ship (DES) terms

The information was considered incor-rectly documented as a wrong assumption and GIIGNL has since reissued a final report on its website removing the contract infor-mation Ruth Liao

Russia aims to finalise gas talks with China by MayRussiarsquos incumbent producer Gazprom hopes to finalise a 30-year gas agreement to supply China prior to President Vladimir Pu-tinrsquos approaching visit Arkady Dvorkovich Russiarsquos deputy prime minister said on 14 April as quoted by the Russian media

ldquoOn gas the talks are nearing a close and there is a mutual intention to finish this work before the Russian presidentrsquos visit in Mayrdquo Dvorkovich said during a televised government meeting

ldquoConsultations are ongoing and Gazpromrsquos management are holding talks with Chinese partners on the contract terms We hope to conclude the contract in May and believe it should come into effect by the year endrdquo Dvorkovich said

The agreement would involve the export of 38 billion cubic metres (bcm)year of pipe-line gas starting in 2018

Volumes could be ramped up to 70bcmyear over the course of 30 years The framework agreement between Gazprom and government-controlled China National Petroleum Corporation was signed back in 2009

Negotiations have taken place over the course of the last 10 years with pricing seen as the main roadblock to reaching the agree-ment

However with growing political tensions over Russiarsquos involvement in Ukrainersquos crisis and the subsequent annexation of Crimea China could have gained a bargaining ad-vantage with the potential increasing isola-tion of Russia from western gas markets

Russia has been actively seeking alterna-tive markets in Asia to export gas either through pipeline from fields mainly in Si-beria and the Russian Far East or as LNG to decrease dependence on European imports Russia has few exports markets for gas out-side Europe

lsquoEconomic sanctions from the EU cou-pled with potential competition of shale gas exports from the US ndash as LNG or shale gas develops in Europe ndash could mean a diminish-ing market for Russian gas

As a result Russian export strategy has become mainly Asia-oriented with the po-tential development of several LNG projects including Vladivostok and the expansion of the Sakhalin-2 LNG project with another train

China needs gas to satisfy its growing energy needs as well as to replace coal-fired power generation in densely populated parts of the country Roman Kazmin

Japanrsquos energy plan warns about LNG dependenceJapanrsquos cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sources of power generation and relegates LNG to an inter-mediate load source status according to the plan released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) on 11 April The energy plan which lays out the countryrsquos energy policies for the next 20 years warned about the need to avoid exces-sive reliance on high-priced LNG imports as a substitution for nuclear power generation but did not include any numerical targets for the countryrsquos long-term energy mix

ldquoJapan should avoid excessive depen-dence on LNG as a source of power genera-tion and promote cost reductions by diversify-ing its supply sourcesrdquo the plan said

The plan suggests a number of actions that can be taken at the corporate and in-stitutional levels to reduce the cost of LNG imports such as diversifying contract price indexations eliminating destination restric-tions increasing investment in upstream developments and supporting joint procure-ment agreements to increase buyersrsquo bar-gaining power

ldquoIt is necessary to continue to support strategic efforts towards joint procurementrdquo the plan said

The plan anticipates that US shale gas exports will have a positive impact on the Japanese and global markets from 2017 as these contracts will be linked to the US Henry Hub gas benchmark and will not include a destination restriction clause which means offtakers will be able to trade volumes inter-nationally

ldquoUS LNG will contribute not only to the improvement of the global trading environ-ment but also to the creation of an LNG futures marketrdquo the plan said

Fourth planJapanrsquos energy plan which was drafted in December 2013 but only released by METI for cabinet approval on 18 March is the countryrsquos fourth basic energy plan and the first one formulated since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Since then Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90

The plan highlights the key role that coal and nuclear power sources are expected to play in the countryrsquos energy mix (For more on this see the Focus on Japan)

The plan re-evaluated the key role that nuclear power is to play in the countryrsquos en-ergy mix and states that Japan will proceed to

restart those nuclear reactors that have suc-cessfully passed the safety assessments by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) and have received approval by the local governments

This reverses the previous Democratic Party of Japan governmentrsquos decision to phase out nuclear power generation by 2040 in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster

Nuclear energy remains an efficient abundant and stable source of power sup-ply which can be domestically produced at relatively low operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions the plan said The priority lies in ensuring the safety of the nuclear power plants it added

Power market liberalisation by 2020The plan highlighted the importance of reforms aimed at liberalising the downstream power markets The full liberalisation of the downstream power generation and retail markets are being advanced through three stages with completion of stage three expected in 2020 the plan said

ldquoBy promoting legal neutrality in the power transmission and distribution sector we will tackle limitations in the conventional power system and increase investment in the power distribution networkrdquo the plan said Abache Abreu

Thailandrsquos PTT in talks for up to 1mtpa of long-term supply from BP

Thailandrsquos state-owned buyer PTT is in discussions with UK-headquartered oil and gas major BP for the long-term supply of up to 1mtpa of LNG on a delivered ex ship (DES) basis starting from 2015 a PTT company offi-cial said in a telephone interview on 11 April

ldquoWe are in discussions with many suppli-ers to make sure we have the best deal for the best interest of the countryrdquo said Nutta-chat Charuchinda chief operations officer of PTTrsquos downstream petroleum business group

ldquoWe would like to see the best options that are available to us [hellip] a basket of supply to make sure that we have security of supply at the best pricerdquo he said

PTT is open to different sources of supply and price indexationsldquo whether it is linked to crude oil JCC [Japanese Crude Cocktail] or Henry Hubrdquo Charuchinda said

Additional contractual agreements are sought in response to PTTrsquos own energy forecasts which foresee a rise in Thailandrsquos domestic energy consumption and an in-crease in the share natural gas holds in the countryrsquos energy mix in relation to coal and nuclear power generation On the other hand the countryrsquos energy reserves are fast dwindling according to PTT while pipeline gas imports from neighbouring countries are increasingly limited

PTT has so far signed two long-term agreements for a total supply of 46mtpa by 2020 In December 2012 PTT signed its first long-term LNG contract with Qatargas for the supply of 2mpta of LNG for 20 years start-ing in 2015 In December 2013 PTT signed a preliminary deal with US-based Anadarko Petroleum for the procurement of 26mpta from Mozambique starting from 2018-2019

Additional 1mtpa might be enoughIn the long term PTT might be interested in securing additional supply from North America or east Africa but having secured 46mtpa under long-term contracts an additional 1mtpa supply might be sufficient to meet the Thai buyerrsquos mid-term demand requirements a Singapore-based analyst said

ldquoPTT has realised they need more LNG but with almost 5mtpa in contracts and an additional 1mtpa under discussion they might wait and see before they start buying againrdquo said Tony Regan an analyst at Singa-pore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoPTT could be cautious and assume they might not be able to get more gas from Myanmar domestic reserves are declining and there is little potential for that to recoverrdquo he said ldquoBut I think they will wait Otherwise they are going to see prices firming because

of all this buying activity Also they have been relatively slow to develop their domestic market for regasified LNG There is a huge industry nearby but it is taking them time to secure contracts with offtakers and arrange truck lifting from the terminalrdquo

Spot procurement set to continueWhile PTT aims to meet most of its demand requirements through long-term contracts the Thai buyer will continue to supplement any shortages through spot LNG purchases

ldquoWe cannot commit [wholly] to term supply Some spot supply [will continue]rdquo Charuchinda said The company recently awarded a single-cargo buy tender for deliv-ery between 5-20 May and is in the market for additional June-delivery volumes

ldquo[PTT] has finished procurement for May [and] will now start looking for June [deliver-ies]rdquo a source close to the tender process said

PTT typically limits participation in its ten-ders to parties with which it has previously concluded master sales agreements Winners of 2013 PTT tenders include Qatari supplier Qatargas Francersquos GDF SUEZ UK-based BG Group and Anglo-Dutch major Shell Nor-wayrsquos Statoil Francersquos Total and Russiarsquos Gazprom have also participated in the 2013 tenders Abache Abreu

GSPC increases LNG market participation ahead of MundraIndian natural gas trader Gujarat State Pe-troleum Corporation (GSPC) has stepped up its short-term LNG procurement following the rupture of a 15-year contract it previ-ously held with state-owned importer GAIL

GSPC has been independently looking for cargoes since March and is no longer relying on GAIL for supplies of about eight LNG cargoes per year a source close to the situation has told ICIS

GAIL had previously sought to renegoti-ate the price of its regasified LNG supplies to GSPC on the back of increases in trans-portation tariffs and rising international LNG prices since 2011 ICIS understands

While the Supreme Court of India up-held GAILrsquos right to negotiate prices for gas delivery from 2014 both parties failed to agree on a suitable price arrangement

A document from the Supreme Court in September 2013 revealed ldquoThe fact that no agreement could be reached between GAIL and GSPC regarding the price of gas [means that] the agreement shall stand terminated with effect from 01012014 and the parties hereto shall stand relieved of their obligation under the Agreementrdquo

As a result GSPC has now increased its presence on the LNG market in order to supply downstream customers engaged in power generation steel and city gas distri-bution

The company has taken delivery of a Qatar-sourced spot cargo on 11 April at the Dahej LNG terminal ICIS understands the cargo was delivered at a landed cost in the $1630sMMBtu

The ICIS DES [delivered ex-ship] India price was assessed for the final time for

April delivery at $1645MMBtu on 14 March

GSPC awards Mundra EPC contract GSPC as the developer of what would be the state of Gujaratrsquos third LNG terminal ndash the Mundra regasification project ndash has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project to Japanrsquos Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO) it said in a statement on 14 April

The 5mtpa project on Indiarsquos west coast is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2016

Despite ground work on the terminal moving ahead GSPC has yet to find a part-ner for a 25 stake in the terminal ICIS understands

In December 2013 India Gas Solutions (IGS) ndash the 5050 joint venture of UK-based BP and Indiarsquos Reliance Industries ndash along with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Indian state companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) were all short-listed for the second round of the stake sale

However no decision has been taken as yet on the second round adding to the speculation that the terminal may miss its targeted start-up date in 2016

The state of Gujarat already has two operational LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej with sources in India noting that expansions at the two facilities may leave Mundra a second-best choice for customers in the area

ldquoThe tariffs at Mundra being a green-field project are expected to be higher compared with Dahejrdquo one source said Ranjana KaushalLudovic Aldersley

Greece in talks with infrastructure provider

Greecersquos minister of environment energy and climate change met with floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) provider Golar LNG regarding a planned import terminal in the north of the country the ministry said on 15 April Greecersquos state-owned gas supply com-pany DEPA is progressing plans to have a 3-5 billion cubic metre (bcm)year FSRU by 2017 which the European Commission considers as a project of common interest

The feasibility study and environmental impact study prepared by DEPA are currently in the final stages according to minister Yian-nis Maniatis

ldquoThe importance of the project together with the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) are major pillars of enhancing energy security of the regionrdquo the Ministry said adding its importance is further ldquore-flected by the advanced consultations with governments and companies from Bulgaria and Romaniardquo

Several LNG terminal developments have been proposed across southeast Europe with an eye on the wider regional market

Within Greece DEPArsquos FSRU proposal is one of three projects that includes expansion of the existing 5bcmyear Revithoussa terminal and a separate FSRU proposal from domestic energy conglomerate Copelouzos

ldquoGolar has expressed its interest in full participation in financing the project provid-ing significant flexibility in the implementation of the overall projectrdquo the Greek ministry said

In parallel to the LNG infrastructure projects the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector is scheduled to be sanctioned in mid-2014 ahead of a 2016 start-up with an initial 3bcmyear capacity ICIS understands Ludovic Aldersley

Taipower could extend lifespan of its nuclear power plantsTaiwanese state-owned utility Taipower could apply to extend the lifespan of its three existing nuclear plant fleet if its fourth facil-ity which is still under construction is not brought on line due to public opposition according to a company source

Taipower hopes that the plant ndash which is located in Gongliao district New Taipei City ndash can become operational next year It will be able to generate around 193TWhyear the source said

With Taipowerrsquos existing nuclear power plants heading for decommissioning in the

coming years there is a risk of power short-ages by 2016 he added

The two units of Taipowerrsquos No 1 nuclear plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018 and 2019 respectively while the two units in the second plant will expire in 2021 and 2022 The two units in the third plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024 and 2025 respectively according to Taiwanrsquos Atomic Energy Council

Taipower is considering using alterna-tive sources of energy such as natural gas and coal but feels nuclear energy has

many advantages ldquoIt will be very difficult and expensive to use alternative sources of energy to make up any shortfallrdquo the source said

The price of importing LNG is very expen-sive compared to nuclear power generation Furthermore the amount of LNG that can be imported is also limited by Taiwanrsquos LNG terminal capacity

ldquoWe would need to build additional in-frastructure such as LNG receiving terminals tanks and pipelines if we want to import enough LNG to cover the shortfall of nuclear powerrdquo the source said Hairul Borhan

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

There were mixed directions at the NBP on 29 May with the prompt strengthening a touch in the morning because of an unex-pected outage However by the end of the session most of the gains had come off

The bearish movement that had characterised the near curve in the past two sessions continued early in the session on Thursday although losses for June rsquo14 were less pronounced than on Wednes-day Then an unplanned outage at ConocoPhillipsrsquo North Sea J-Block gas fields pushed prompt prices temporarily in the opposite direction

The far curve was mostly range-bound during the day although some of the seasons made small gains as a result of a falling pound sterling relative to the euro This can often lift contracts as demand rises from traders with euros to spend

The South Hook LNG terminal continued to provide significant volumes to the British system with output from the site flowing at a rate of around 50 million cubic metres (mcm)day throughout the session Traders suggested that oversupply is still expected but this has mostly been priced into the front month contract now

NYMEX natural gas futures slid for the first time in four sessions closing down as the market digested the latest weekly gas storage report from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA)

The July rsquo14 contract closed its first day as the front month at $456MMBtu down by $006MMBtu from the previous dayrsquos close because of bearish sentiment stemming from the EIA report

Losses of at least $003MMBtu were registered across the board at the close of the 29 Mayrsquos session

The EIA report had detailed the highest weekly injection into US inventories in five years over the week ended 23 May US natural gas stocks posted a third consecutive weekly rise over the week just gone surging by 114 billion cubic feet (bcf) ndash or 32 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash for the first time since mid-June 2009

Stocks now stand just below 14 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or 396 bcm the EIA report showed still some way short of the year-ago and five-year average levels for this week

The depleted nature of US inventories and the impending onset of the summer cooling season offered some support to the bulls

The vessel loaded its cargo from the Ni-geria LNG (NLNG) facility in Bonny Island on 26 May and is now positioned heading west across the Atlantic Ocean The vessel is ex-pected to arrive in Brazil on 7 June although the port is unspecified

PETRONAS which does not have offtake capacity from NLNG is understood to have purchased the cargo on an FOB basis How-ever the supplier of the late May Nigeria-sourced spot cargo could not be confirmed

The Malaysian company was heard to have been awarded a tranche of 18 cargoes from Portuguese seller Galp Energia for a mid-term agreement starting in 2015

The 152000cbm Seri Begawan last deliv-ered a cargo on behalf of PETRONAS to the Salvador floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) in the state of Bahia on 28 April

Market sources considered Petrobras to be quiet in the market for prompt cargoes

having secured most of its summer require-ments in advance from select sellers

France-based GDF SUEZ UK-headquar-tered BG Group Norwayrsquos Statoil Anglo-Dutch major Shell and London-based EDF Trading have all delivered cargoes to Brazil in April May and June

A source in the Atlantic basin said buy-ing activity from Petrobras is expected to be muted for the rest of the third quarter

BG delivers reload to South KoreaThe 155000cbm GasLog Shanghai is currently sailing towards South Korea according to vessel-tracking data

The vessel under the control of portfolio seller BG Group is carrying a reload cargo from Francersquos Fos Cavaou LNG terminal to the Gwangyang LNG terminal in South Korea

It is expected to reach its destination on 2 June after departing from Fos Cavaou on

27 April It is likely to be delivering the cargo to South Korea-based steelmaker POSCO which operates the Gwangyang terminal

POSCO currently imports 055mtpa of LNG from the BP-led Tangguh plant in Indonesia under a 20-year contract through to 2024 Trading sources indicated that Paris-based portfolio sellers would likely be behind an FOB sale to BG Group

Both Total and GDF SUEZ are capacity holders at Fos Cavaou Up to 100000cbm of volumes are allowed to be reloaded from Fos due to regulations

Also heading to South Korea is the 173000cbm Ribera del Duero Knutsen ac-cording to vessel-tracking data

The vessel under the control of Shell departed from Bonny Island on 27 May and is expected to reach Incheon port on 24 June It is likely to deliver the cargo to KOGAS which operates the terminal

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has revamped the order of pending non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) LNG export ap-plications in order to prioritise ldquocommercially advancedrdquo projects

This means projects that have received permitting approval from the US Federal En-ergy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will now be eligible for DOE approval first instead of waiting through a queue that established precedence based on the order of when the application was received

ldquoThe Department intends to make final public interest determinations only after a project has completed the NEPA [National Environmental Policy Act] process instead of issuing conditional authorisationsrdquo DOE said in a 29 May statement

DOE first established the order of prec-edence for non-FTA export licenses on 5 December 2012 after the agency was over-whelmed with a wave of export proposals

A non-FTA country is any country that does not have a free trade agreement with the US This comprises many of the key LNG importers including Japan China and India

While DOE must automatically approve an FTA export license the agency has discretion over when to approve non-FTA applications

Cheniere was the first company to hatch the idea of the Sabine Pass LNG import termi-nal as a liquefaction plant but after receiving its non-FTA license in 2010

DOE then stalled for a year and a half be-fore issuing further export licenses as public debate weighed in on industrial consumersrsquo views on the price of natural gas and the industryrsquos environmental impact

In the last four years DOE has issued seven non-FTA conditional licenses for six US

LNG projects Chenierersquos first four trains at Sabine Pass the 132mtpa Freeport LNG the 15mtpa Lake Charles Dominionrsquos 525mtpa Cove Point LNG Semprarsquos 12mpta Cameron LNG and the 6mpta Jordan Cove proposal

This new policy is not anticipated to change any of those conditional orders that have already been issued

Changes for remaining applicants Currently 24 export applications for non-FTA licenses are yet to be considered They range from small-scale concepts aiming to target the fledgling Caribbean market to major international companies such as ExxonMobil that carry the balance sheet to clear the high capital costs of an export project ranging in the tens of billions of dollars

Under the new scheme projects await-ing a non-FTA license must now have the final approval under regulations in the NEPA review which is under FERCrsquos jurisdiction before DOE will issue an export license

Of the pending projects the most advanced in FERC permitting applications include US-based Excelerate Energyrsquos Lavaca Bay greenfield floating LNG project in Texas Chenierersquos second greenfield 135mtpa Cor-pus Christi venture and the proposed 8mpta Magnolia LNG greenfield project in Lake Charles Louisiana This also bodes well for the US LNG export expansion proposed for ExxonMobil and Qatar Petroleumrsquos Golden Pass slated for 15mpta although Golden Pass has not advanced much further than preliminary FERC filings

DOE also released two studies addressing the environmental impact of unconventional natural gas production and the lifecycle green-house gas impacts of US LNG exports The new

proposed policy along with the studies will now go through a 45-day comment period

Shortly after DOErsquos announcement US Senator Mary Landrieu a Democrat from Louisiana who chairs the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources issued a statement welcoming the decision Landrieu was among several lawmakers in March who called on DOE to consider changing its order of precedence for LNG export projects

Landrieu stated the decision by DOE to streamline the permit approval process is ldquoa positive step forward to responsibly export Americarsquos abundant supply of natural gasrdquo

Oregon LNG considers new policy The greenfield Oregon LNG project proposed for Warrenton Oregon was the next applicant in the non-FTA application queue

The planned 95mtpa plant envisages importing Canadian natural gas through pipe-lines in the Kingsgate and Huntingdon hubs near the British Columbia border Its CEO Peter Hansen told ICIS the new proposed non-FTA approval policy should not immediately affect the consideration of its export application

ldquoItrsquos sort of a two-edged sword Obvi-ously regulatory certainty is something that we really needrdquo he said ldquoOn the other hand I can see why the DOE would say this for pro-jects that are far down the path on permitsrdquo

The project expects to receive its schedul-ing notice from FERC in the ldquonear futurerdquo and could receive a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) by this autumn Hansen said

Oregon LNG has not secured any long-term contracts with buyers though Hansen said it has signed memorandums of agree-ment (MOUs) with ldquoAsian and North Ameri-can companiesrdquo Ruth Liao

Japanrsquos INPEX signs agreements to sell gas from Prelude FLNG

Published on the ICIS Dashboard at 1000

Indiarsquos gas network operator GAIL has decreased its spot LNG buying activity for the next two to three months

ldquoGAIL will not be active in the spot market for June-July as [its] key domestic customers have stopped buying gasrdquo a source familiar with the issue said

With the appoint-ment of new petro-leum and natural gas minister Dharmendra Pradhan on 27 May and the likely roll-out of a new budget in June there may be some buying activity for July to August However overall demand is still expected to be weak ndash potentially for one or two spot cargoes only

ldquoGAIL might buy one or two cargoes for July-August at $1100-1150MMBtu but discussions around these with sellers will happen only after the budget is rolled outrdquo a source said

Other Indian buyers such as Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) which has captive LNG demand for its refinery in Jamnagar Gujarat is looking at purchasing one to two spot de-liveries for the July-August period

RIL is targeting deals below $1300MMBtu on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis and is in discussions for spot deliveries with Qatari sellers according to sources

Reliancersquos demand is expected to be steady for the rest of the year unlike GAIL Petronet LNG and Gujarat State Petroleum Corp (GSPC) whose demand wanes on a seasonal basis

GSPC and Petronet LNG have noticed demand from industrial clients slow down during the monsoon season which runs from mid-May onwards to mid-September As a result both companies are not very active in the spot market for July-August deliveries

Slowdown in downstream sales As one of Indiarsquos largest LNG importers GAILrsquos key customers such as the domestic power and fertilizer companies have stopped buying gas for power generation in the past month as they have run out of government-aided fuel subsidies

The new Nar-endra Modi-led government is likely to release subsidies in June but no date has been fixed Also previous govern-ments have talked about cutting down subsidies by

15 for fertilizer companies and the new government is likely to implement the subsidy cut sources said

Power companies in India have switched to using coal from gas in the past two months as prices of power generated from coal is two times cheaper compared with gas

In the absence of demand from fertilizer and power companies GAIL is now selling its long- and medium-term LNG supplies to private customers that comprise steel and small-scale industries The price at which GAIL is supplying LNG to private customers is estimated at $1200-1300MMBtu Power and fertilizer companies make up 70 of GAILrsquos total customer portfolio

ldquoThe lack of demand from large custom-ers has forced us to sell LNG to other con-sumersrdquo the source said

In the week of 30 May during the release of GAILrsquos first-quarter results chairman BC Tri-pathi said GAIL will be importing 36 cargoes this financial year which began in April Of these 18 are expected to be procured in the spot market In the first quarter GAIL received seven to eight cargoes at the Dabhol and Da-hej LNG terminals Ranjana Kaushal

Indiarsquos GAIL slows down July-August spot buying activity

INPEX is negotiating the sale of LNG to To-kyo Electric (TEPCO) and Shizuoka Gas from the Prelude floating LNG (FLNG) project in Australia the Japanese oil and gas company said in a statement on 27 May

INPEX will deliver 560000 tonnes of LNG per annum to TEPCO and 70000 tonnes per annum to Shizuoka Gas for eight years on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis INPEX said

Deliveries will begin in 2017 according to the statement The companies are still finalis-ing details of the proposed contracts and did not disclose prices

The signing of the Heads of Agreements (HOAs) represents INPEXrsquos first sale of LNG from the Prelude FLNG project The project is a vessel built to float in the waters off the coast of western Australia pump up and liquefy the natural gas from the undersea Prelude gasfield

Chilersquos state copper miner Codelco has taken its first step towards achieving consist-ent LNG supply for its mining operations in the north of the South American country af-ter signing a long-term agreement with com-patriot gas distribution company Metrogas

Metrogas is expected to deliver volumes to the Mejillones terminal in northern Chile from 2016 as part of an extension to a recently announced short-term supply agreement with the worldrsquos largest copper producer multiple Americas-based sources told ICIS

Gas will be sourced by Metrogas through its existing supply contract for the Quintero terminal in central Chile with British portfolio supplier BG Group

Under the amended terms of the supply agreement reached between the parties in 2012 Metrogas is able to divert volumes from Quintero to other Chilean ports

ldquoMetrogas will resell the gas to Codelco The agreement is on a long-term period and

is based on the low price at which Metrogas buys LNG from BG Group and the fact that they can decide between Quintero and Mejil-lonesrdquo a South American source told ICIS

A Metrogas spokesperson declined to comment on the nature of companyrsquos future supply commitments with Codelco when contacted by ICIS A Codelco spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment submitted by ICIS

Although the exact volumes that Metro-gas will send to Codelco are undefined the Santiago-based gas distributor is already un-derstood to have fully allocated its Quintero volumes for 2016 onwards

Existing customers of the distributor will not see contracts up for renewal next year extended as Metrogas looks to guarantee supplies to Codelco one Americas-based source told ICIS

This includes the reallocation of at least two 160000cbm cargoes a year provided to power generators on the countryrsquos ❯❯ Page 13

Codelco eyes long-term Metrogas LNG diversions

BP and Shell to supply Kuwait with third seller in the wingsAnglo-Dutch major Shell and UK-head-quartered BP have signed agreements to supply Kuwait with LNG over a five- to six-year period a Kuwait Petroleum Corp (KPC) official was quoted as saying on 13 April in the local media

Jamal Al-Loughani deputy managing director of marketing operations at KPC told the Kuwaiti daily newspaper Al-Seyassah that three portfolio sellers will supply KPC with a total of about 25mtpa of LNG with deliver-ies expected to be allocated over Kuwaitrsquos peak summer demand season which typically runs from end-March to November

KPC is expected to sign the supply con-tract with a third company by the end of this week Al-Loughani added While the identity

of the third supplier was not revealed Qatar-gas and Russian incumbent Gazprom were both mentioned as potential suppliers by industry sources

Gazprom said on 25 March that it was looking to expand cooperation with Kuwait on LNG The company supplied two spot cargoes to the country in 2011

However a source familiar with the issue said that negotiations between KPC and Gazprom involved deliveries of the proposed Vladivostok project volumes rather than existing mid-term volumes for delivery to a planned Kuwait onshore terminal from 2020 The supplier of mid-term volumes in the interim would be Qatargas according to the source ❯❯ Page 15

June-July demand in focus

Asian markets were back in contango with July at a premium to June amid increasing evidence that the recent reduction in prices in the region may have bottomed out

Prompt supply availability is well balanced globally but is said to have grown stronger in the Atlantic than in the Pacific basin with more flexible volumes emerging from Nigeria and Spain Demand from Brazil meanwhile continues to make it the premium buyer in South America

Brazilrsquos state-owned importer Petrobras was awarded a free-on-board (FOB) Nige-rian cargo for loading on 2 June while other prompt cargoes from west Africa have also been offered and transacted

In the Pacific basin some traders also said they expected imminent offers from the new Papua New Guinea LNG facility Project de-veloper ExxonMobil has said first volumes will be exported by mid-year and once the ramp up is complete one source estimated as many as four or five spot cargoes could be available per month

With Japanese buyers absent from recent buying activity Indian buyers have stepped up short-term procurement Following GSPC ruptured supply contract with GAIL GSPC has become another buyer on the market likely to procure six or seven more cargoes

this year Other Indian companies were heard to be in the market for May-June at prices under $1500MMBtu

In Europe Qatari deliveries into the UK continued to pick up mirroring the trend of 2013 while the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year was concluded at the Montoir termi-nal on Francersquos Atlantic coast

The outgoing ICIS East Asian Index (EAX) for May expired at $1521MMBtu having shed 8 over its period as front month The June index was pegged at just below $1500MMBtu with July at a $020MMBtu premi-um Japanese electricity utilities are expected to come to market to cater for heightened seasonal power generation demand

African volume there ndash Brazil key US-based energy supplier Chevron was heard to be offering at least two cargoes from Nigeria LNG (NLNG) with one available for late-May lifting and another linked to a 21 June loading Portuguese NLNG offtaker Galp is understood to have originally sold FOB cargoes for lifting on 2 June and 21 June to Petrobras and Chevron respectively

Achievable netback values for Nige-rian cargoes are substantially higher for June delivery into South America than into northeast Asia with Brazil still looking like

the most plausible buyer Petrobras however was also heard to have been in discussions for strip deals from BP and Shell to cover the upcoming months which could limit its spot demand

On the other hand there were increased signs that the warming weather pattern El Nino could soon appear The impact on Brazil could be a continuation of the dry weather which has increased the need for LNG be-cause of low hydro-power generation Reser-voir levels remain low across key generating regions

The GDF SUEZ Neptune brought a cargo into the floating storage and regasification unit at Brazilrsquos Guanabara Bay on 13 April ndash the third cargo brought in by the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ

Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS lifted the Seri Bega-wan as a reload from Zeebrugge on 13 April with the vessel due to arrive in Brazil on 30 April This would be the eighth cargo into Brazil in April In May 2013 Petrobras took in 10 cargoes

Argentinean state-buyers ENARSA and YPF could release a tender for June deliveries but no announcement has so far emerged

The LNG demand outlook is more muted from other South American countries Chilersquos Quintero terminal is expecting two spot de-liveries in the second quarter with buyers not expecting to require additional volume over the countryrsquos winter period

The LNG-purchasing GNL consortium is understood to have taken a spot cargo from BG for arrival in May with Shell to deliver another cargo in the first half of June Both cargoes were understood to originate from Trinidad in the low $1600sMMBtu when agreed in late March

No immediate demand is expected from Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE

Japan June demand surfacesThe relative lull in bidding interest from Japan recently has showed some signs of drawing to a close with three utility buyers reportedly bidding in the mid-$1400sMMBtu for June delivery At least four utilities were heard to have tank space but waiting to see if further price falls would come

But with northeast Asian markets show-ing a contango from June into July the delivery window for opportunistic buys is considered finite and closing The July DES price is above $1500MMBtu as power con-sumption across Japanese urban centres is expected to rise in line with seasonal demand for air-conditioning

The Japanese Meteorological Agency said there was a 40 probability of above-normal temperatures between June and August in several key regions of the country which would typically support the need for marginal LNG imports over the period

Visibility on July pricing in key Asian mar-kets was limited however with sellers said to

be holding offers back in case demand more clearly rebounded

In more recent spot ship movements Chinarsquos state owned buyer CNOOC was con-sidered the most likely winner of the recent Angola tender with the 160000cbm Sonan-gol Etosha headed for the CNOOC-controlled Zhejiang Ningbo terminal on 17 April Sources said the cargo was sold in the high $1400sMMBtu but this was not confirmed

Ship data also revealed another spot de-livery into China aboard the Statoil-controlled 155000cbm Arctic Aurora which is due to arrive at delivery an unidentified Chinese port on 18 April

In Japan the PETRONAS-controlled 145000cbm Seri Angkasa was due into the Oita terminal with a Nigeria-sourced cargo on 19 April Regional utility Kysuhu Electric is the main capacity holder at the terminal

Clarity on plant turnarounds The usual shutdown slate is kicking in over the spring period with more to come in the second half of the year However market impact was seen as limited with the loss of volume already factored in

The 33mtpa train two at Atlantic LNG in Trinidad was heard to have gone down for five days from 17 April The third train was reportedly due to undergo maintenance for six days from 1 July with train one also down for six days in August

Norwayrsquos Snohvit will shut down from 2 May to 9 June Two cargoes delivered from the facility into the Dutch Gate terminal were partly acting as storage for Statoil ahead of the shutdown sources said

A trader said the single-train Angola plant had begun 15 days of maintenance at the start of April with a 50-60 day outage planned from July-August

Spain still busy more into UKA further five reloads are planned from Spanish terminals in the second half of April ndash with Cartagena the most active While the push for fresh business appeared to slow down in the run up to the Easter holiday period six reloads are planned for May with an additional one straddling the end of April start of May This is double the number of reloads done last May

The EDFT-controlled 160000cbm Cool Voyager was due into Cartagena on 20 April with the cargo reload said to be due to go to South Korea The FOB reload price has hov-ered in the $1300sMMBtu in recent weeks

In the UK the trend of rising Qatari cargoes into South Hook in April continued in a similar trend to last year A total of five cargoes have already arrived into the Welsh facility with a further two scheduled in by the end of the month This would represent the highest volume intake since last November

Last April South Hook imports also jumped month on month to reach

CNOOC was considered the most likely winner

of the recent Angola tender

939000 tonnes from Qatar in line with the end of the winter demand profile in north-east Asia NBP prices currently represent one of the lowest netback values with the front month at more than a three-year low ndash in part as a result of the increase in LNG arrivals But the liquidity of the hub and availability of buyers is still a useful flexible tool for spare cargoes

First 2014 STS transfer at MontoirThe French Montoir LNG facility carried out the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year on 12 April on two GDF SUEZ vessels Snohvit-sourced LNG was transferred over a period of two days from the 177000cbm Grace Dahlia to the 150000cbm Grace Barleria The latter was likely to head to South Korea to either of the countryrsquos independent importers GS Caltex or SK EampS a source said

Surge in shipping activityMore than 10 LNG carriers have been chartered in the last three weeks according to shipping sources with a growing discrepancy in rates in the Atlantic and the Pacific Ship owners have been more willing to renegotiate on re-delivery terms while keeping charter rates above $60000day for dual fuel diesel electric (DFDE) ships and in the $50000sday for steam turbine propulsion ships GDF SUEZ EDFT and Trafigura were all heard to have chartered 2013-built DFDE vessels

Canadian Triton LNG receives regulatory export licence Calgary-based AltaGas and its Japanese refining partner Idemitsu have received a 25-year export licence from Canadian energy regulators for their joint small-scale LNG ex-port project

The proposed venture which would either be located near Kitimat or Prince Rupert in British Columbia envisages a floating lique-faction storage and offloading (FLSO) vessel which would include two liquefaction trains

Known as Triton LNG the project received approval to export 23mtpa on 16 April from Canadarsquos National Energy Board (NEB) as well as an additional 15 annual tolerance as per Canadian export standards

ldquoWe have determined that the quantity of gas proposed to be exported by Triton LNG is surplus to Canadian needs The board is satis-fied that the gas resource base in Canada as well as North America is large and can ac-commodate reasonably foreseeable Canadian demand the proposed LNG exports and a plausible potential increase in demandrdquo the NEB order stated

Given the abundance of shale gas in North America the US is no longer importing Cana-dian gas which has stranded the countryrsquos gas reserves and spurred LNG export projects to be developed along the west coast of British Columbia

The Western Canadian export projects are targeting premium northeast Asian markets and Asian companies such as Idemitsu have partnered directly with project proponents through equity and offtake agreements in order to help commercialise the gas

However the Canadian liquefaction ventures and associated pipelines which are developed at a greenfield cost have stalled in reaching final investment because of the cost uncertainties associated with developing in such a rugged and remote environment

Canadarsquos provincial government officials and regulatory authorities have viewed themselves as backers of the LNG industry promoting the country as a desirable location to develop large energy infrastructure projects such as LNG exports

The next project awaiting its export licence is Goldboro LNG a scheme developed by Pieri-dae Energy in Guysborough Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada The 10mpta project has a 5mpta agreement in place with German utility EON on a European hub-indexation The project seeks to supply the LNG by requesting a flow reversal on the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline that runs from Canada to the US

The gap between the NEBrsquos last approval ndash on 16 December 2013 ndash and the Triton LNG approval on 16 April perhaps signals a more cautious approach by the government

While not as lengthy as the time that it took for the US Freeport LNG project to receive its long-awaited non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export licence from the US Depart-ment of Energy (DOE) the four-month pause between the Canadian projects has been the longest time period yet between approvals

In the interim the NEB also approved a 25-year application in February for a US pro-ject proposed on the west coast the planned 6mpta Jordan Cove venture developed by Cal-gary-based infrastructure company Veresen The Jordan Cove scheme proposes importing Canadian pipeline gas into the US and then bringing the volumes to the greenfield site in southwest Oregon to export as LNG

Triton LNG is the ninth project with a Cana-dian export licence

The NEB approved a batch of four projects in December 2013 These included BG Grouprsquos Prince Rupert facility Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest the ExxonMobil-Imperial Oil venture WCC and the Woodfibre LNG export project developed by the Singa-pore energy company Pacific Oil amp Gas

Royal Dutch Shell is leading a consortium with Chinarsquos PetroChina Japanese trading company Mitsubishi and Korearsquos KOGAS for a planned 12mtpa facility in Kitimat

The first Canadian project to receive its ex-port licence was in October 2011 the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG project which is now being jointly marketed by US-based producer Chevron and exploration and production com-pany Apache Corporation Ruth Liao

GIIGNL corrects annual reportA mid-term agreement between the An-gola LNG consortium and Brazilrsquos state-run Petrobras in the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL) report published on 8 April was incorrect according to the organi-sation The initial report stated that the two companies reached an agreement in 2013 for

400000 tonnes per annum on a four-year basis on delivered ex-ship (DES) terms

The information was considered incor-rectly documented as a wrong assumption and GIIGNL has since reissued a final report on its website removing the contract infor-mation Ruth Liao

Russia aims to finalise gas talks with China by MayRussiarsquos incumbent producer Gazprom hopes to finalise a 30-year gas agreement to supply China prior to President Vladimir Pu-tinrsquos approaching visit Arkady Dvorkovich Russiarsquos deputy prime minister said on 14 April as quoted by the Russian media

ldquoOn gas the talks are nearing a close and there is a mutual intention to finish this work before the Russian presidentrsquos visit in Mayrdquo Dvorkovich said during a televised government meeting

ldquoConsultations are ongoing and Gazpromrsquos management are holding talks with Chinese partners on the contract terms We hope to conclude the contract in May and believe it should come into effect by the year endrdquo Dvorkovich said

The agreement would involve the export of 38 billion cubic metres (bcm)year of pipe-line gas starting in 2018

Volumes could be ramped up to 70bcmyear over the course of 30 years The framework agreement between Gazprom and government-controlled China National Petroleum Corporation was signed back in 2009

Negotiations have taken place over the course of the last 10 years with pricing seen as the main roadblock to reaching the agree-ment

However with growing political tensions over Russiarsquos involvement in Ukrainersquos crisis and the subsequent annexation of Crimea China could have gained a bargaining ad-vantage with the potential increasing isola-tion of Russia from western gas markets

Russia has been actively seeking alterna-tive markets in Asia to export gas either through pipeline from fields mainly in Si-beria and the Russian Far East or as LNG to decrease dependence on European imports Russia has few exports markets for gas out-side Europe

lsquoEconomic sanctions from the EU cou-pled with potential competition of shale gas exports from the US ndash as LNG or shale gas develops in Europe ndash could mean a diminish-ing market for Russian gas

As a result Russian export strategy has become mainly Asia-oriented with the po-tential development of several LNG projects including Vladivostok and the expansion of the Sakhalin-2 LNG project with another train

China needs gas to satisfy its growing energy needs as well as to replace coal-fired power generation in densely populated parts of the country Roman Kazmin

Japanrsquos energy plan warns about LNG dependenceJapanrsquos cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sources of power generation and relegates LNG to an inter-mediate load source status according to the plan released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) on 11 April The energy plan which lays out the countryrsquos energy policies for the next 20 years warned about the need to avoid exces-sive reliance on high-priced LNG imports as a substitution for nuclear power generation but did not include any numerical targets for the countryrsquos long-term energy mix

ldquoJapan should avoid excessive depen-dence on LNG as a source of power genera-tion and promote cost reductions by diversify-ing its supply sourcesrdquo the plan said

The plan suggests a number of actions that can be taken at the corporate and in-stitutional levels to reduce the cost of LNG imports such as diversifying contract price indexations eliminating destination restric-tions increasing investment in upstream developments and supporting joint procure-ment agreements to increase buyersrsquo bar-gaining power

ldquoIt is necessary to continue to support strategic efforts towards joint procurementrdquo the plan said

The plan anticipates that US shale gas exports will have a positive impact on the Japanese and global markets from 2017 as these contracts will be linked to the US Henry Hub gas benchmark and will not include a destination restriction clause which means offtakers will be able to trade volumes inter-nationally

ldquoUS LNG will contribute not only to the improvement of the global trading environ-ment but also to the creation of an LNG futures marketrdquo the plan said

Fourth planJapanrsquos energy plan which was drafted in December 2013 but only released by METI for cabinet approval on 18 March is the countryrsquos fourth basic energy plan and the first one formulated since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Since then Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90

The plan highlights the key role that coal and nuclear power sources are expected to play in the countryrsquos energy mix (For more on this see the Focus on Japan)

The plan re-evaluated the key role that nuclear power is to play in the countryrsquos en-ergy mix and states that Japan will proceed to

restart those nuclear reactors that have suc-cessfully passed the safety assessments by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) and have received approval by the local governments

This reverses the previous Democratic Party of Japan governmentrsquos decision to phase out nuclear power generation by 2040 in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster

Nuclear energy remains an efficient abundant and stable source of power sup-ply which can be domestically produced at relatively low operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions the plan said The priority lies in ensuring the safety of the nuclear power plants it added

Power market liberalisation by 2020The plan highlighted the importance of reforms aimed at liberalising the downstream power markets The full liberalisation of the downstream power generation and retail markets are being advanced through three stages with completion of stage three expected in 2020 the plan said

ldquoBy promoting legal neutrality in the power transmission and distribution sector we will tackle limitations in the conventional power system and increase investment in the power distribution networkrdquo the plan said Abache Abreu

Thailandrsquos PTT in talks for up to 1mtpa of long-term supply from BP

Thailandrsquos state-owned buyer PTT is in discussions with UK-headquartered oil and gas major BP for the long-term supply of up to 1mtpa of LNG on a delivered ex ship (DES) basis starting from 2015 a PTT company offi-cial said in a telephone interview on 11 April

ldquoWe are in discussions with many suppli-ers to make sure we have the best deal for the best interest of the countryrdquo said Nutta-chat Charuchinda chief operations officer of PTTrsquos downstream petroleum business group

ldquoWe would like to see the best options that are available to us [hellip] a basket of supply to make sure that we have security of supply at the best pricerdquo he said

PTT is open to different sources of supply and price indexationsldquo whether it is linked to crude oil JCC [Japanese Crude Cocktail] or Henry Hubrdquo Charuchinda said

Additional contractual agreements are sought in response to PTTrsquos own energy forecasts which foresee a rise in Thailandrsquos domestic energy consumption and an in-crease in the share natural gas holds in the countryrsquos energy mix in relation to coal and nuclear power generation On the other hand the countryrsquos energy reserves are fast dwindling according to PTT while pipeline gas imports from neighbouring countries are increasingly limited

PTT has so far signed two long-term agreements for a total supply of 46mtpa by 2020 In December 2012 PTT signed its first long-term LNG contract with Qatargas for the supply of 2mpta of LNG for 20 years start-ing in 2015 In December 2013 PTT signed a preliminary deal with US-based Anadarko Petroleum for the procurement of 26mpta from Mozambique starting from 2018-2019

Additional 1mtpa might be enoughIn the long term PTT might be interested in securing additional supply from North America or east Africa but having secured 46mtpa under long-term contracts an additional 1mtpa supply might be sufficient to meet the Thai buyerrsquos mid-term demand requirements a Singapore-based analyst said

ldquoPTT has realised they need more LNG but with almost 5mtpa in contracts and an additional 1mtpa under discussion they might wait and see before they start buying againrdquo said Tony Regan an analyst at Singa-pore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoPTT could be cautious and assume they might not be able to get more gas from Myanmar domestic reserves are declining and there is little potential for that to recoverrdquo he said ldquoBut I think they will wait Otherwise they are going to see prices firming because

of all this buying activity Also they have been relatively slow to develop their domestic market for regasified LNG There is a huge industry nearby but it is taking them time to secure contracts with offtakers and arrange truck lifting from the terminalrdquo

Spot procurement set to continueWhile PTT aims to meet most of its demand requirements through long-term contracts the Thai buyer will continue to supplement any shortages through spot LNG purchases

ldquoWe cannot commit [wholly] to term supply Some spot supply [will continue]rdquo Charuchinda said The company recently awarded a single-cargo buy tender for deliv-ery between 5-20 May and is in the market for additional June-delivery volumes

ldquo[PTT] has finished procurement for May [and] will now start looking for June [deliver-ies]rdquo a source close to the tender process said

PTT typically limits participation in its ten-ders to parties with which it has previously concluded master sales agreements Winners of 2013 PTT tenders include Qatari supplier Qatargas Francersquos GDF SUEZ UK-based BG Group and Anglo-Dutch major Shell Nor-wayrsquos Statoil Francersquos Total and Russiarsquos Gazprom have also participated in the 2013 tenders Abache Abreu

GSPC increases LNG market participation ahead of MundraIndian natural gas trader Gujarat State Pe-troleum Corporation (GSPC) has stepped up its short-term LNG procurement following the rupture of a 15-year contract it previ-ously held with state-owned importer GAIL

GSPC has been independently looking for cargoes since March and is no longer relying on GAIL for supplies of about eight LNG cargoes per year a source close to the situation has told ICIS

GAIL had previously sought to renegoti-ate the price of its regasified LNG supplies to GSPC on the back of increases in trans-portation tariffs and rising international LNG prices since 2011 ICIS understands

While the Supreme Court of India up-held GAILrsquos right to negotiate prices for gas delivery from 2014 both parties failed to agree on a suitable price arrangement

A document from the Supreme Court in September 2013 revealed ldquoThe fact that no agreement could be reached between GAIL and GSPC regarding the price of gas [means that] the agreement shall stand terminated with effect from 01012014 and the parties hereto shall stand relieved of their obligation under the Agreementrdquo

As a result GSPC has now increased its presence on the LNG market in order to supply downstream customers engaged in power generation steel and city gas distri-bution

The company has taken delivery of a Qatar-sourced spot cargo on 11 April at the Dahej LNG terminal ICIS understands the cargo was delivered at a landed cost in the $1630sMMBtu

The ICIS DES [delivered ex-ship] India price was assessed for the final time for

April delivery at $1645MMBtu on 14 March

GSPC awards Mundra EPC contract GSPC as the developer of what would be the state of Gujaratrsquos third LNG terminal ndash the Mundra regasification project ndash has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project to Japanrsquos Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO) it said in a statement on 14 April

The 5mtpa project on Indiarsquos west coast is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2016

Despite ground work on the terminal moving ahead GSPC has yet to find a part-ner for a 25 stake in the terminal ICIS understands

In December 2013 India Gas Solutions (IGS) ndash the 5050 joint venture of UK-based BP and Indiarsquos Reliance Industries ndash along with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Indian state companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) were all short-listed for the second round of the stake sale

However no decision has been taken as yet on the second round adding to the speculation that the terminal may miss its targeted start-up date in 2016

The state of Gujarat already has two operational LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej with sources in India noting that expansions at the two facilities may leave Mundra a second-best choice for customers in the area

ldquoThe tariffs at Mundra being a green-field project are expected to be higher compared with Dahejrdquo one source said Ranjana KaushalLudovic Aldersley

Greece in talks with infrastructure provider

Greecersquos minister of environment energy and climate change met with floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) provider Golar LNG regarding a planned import terminal in the north of the country the ministry said on 15 April Greecersquos state-owned gas supply com-pany DEPA is progressing plans to have a 3-5 billion cubic metre (bcm)year FSRU by 2017 which the European Commission considers as a project of common interest

The feasibility study and environmental impact study prepared by DEPA are currently in the final stages according to minister Yian-nis Maniatis

ldquoThe importance of the project together with the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) are major pillars of enhancing energy security of the regionrdquo the Ministry said adding its importance is further ldquore-flected by the advanced consultations with governments and companies from Bulgaria and Romaniardquo

Several LNG terminal developments have been proposed across southeast Europe with an eye on the wider regional market

Within Greece DEPArsquos FSRU proposal is one of three projects that includes expansion of the existing 5bcmyear Revithoussa terminal and a separate FSRU proposal from domestic energy conglomerate Copelouzos

ldquoGolar has expressed its interest in full participation in financing the project provid-ing significant flexibility in the implementation of the overall projectrdquo the Greek ministry said

In parallel to the LNG infrastructure projects the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector is scheduled to be sanctioned in mid-2014 ahead of a 2016 start-up with an initial 3bcmyear capacity ICIS understands Ludovic Aldersley

Taipower could extend lifespan of its nuclear power plantsTaiwanese state-owned utility Taipower could apply to extend the lifespan of its three existing nuclear plant fleet if its fourth facil-ity which is still under construction is not brought on line due to public opposition according to a company source

Taipower hopes that the plant ndash which is located in Gongliao district New Taipei City ndash can become operational next year It will be able to generate around 193TWhyear the source said

With Taipowerrsquos existing nuclear power plants heading for decommissioning in the

coming years there is a risk of power short-ages by 2016 he added

The two units of Taipowerrsquos No 1 nuclear plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018 and 2019 respectively while the two units in the second plant will expire in 2021 and 2022 The two units in the third plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024 and 2025 respectively according to Taiwanrsquos Atomic Energy Council

Taipower is considering using alterna-tive sources of energy such as natural gas and coal but feels nuclear energy has

many advantages ldquoIt will be very difficult and expensive to use alternative sources of energy to make up any shortfallrdquo the source said

The price of importing LNG is very expen-sive compared to nuclear power generation Furthermore the amount of LNG that can be imported is also limited by Taiwanrsquos LNG terminal capacity

ldquoWe would need to build additional in-frastructure such as LNG receiving terminals tanks and pipelines if we want to import enough LNG to cover the shortfall of nuclear powerrdquo the source said Hairul Borhan

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS for the daily European Gas Fundamentals report

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

Market reforms are meant to encourage the

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

The vessel loaded its cargo from the Ni-geria LNG (NLNG) facility in Bonny Island on 26 May and is now positioned heading west across the Atlantic Ocean The vessel is ex-pected to arrive in Brazil on 7 June although the port is unspecified

PETRONAS which does not have offtake capacity from NLNG is understood to have purchased the cargo on an FOB basis How-ever the supplier of the late May Nigeria-sourced spot cargo could not be confirmed

The Malaysian company was heard to have been awarded a tranche of 18 cargoes from Portuguese seller Galp Energia for a mid-term agreement starting in 2015

The 152000cbm Seri Begawan last deliv-ered a cargo on behalf of PETRONAS to the Salvador floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) in the state of Bahia on 28 April

Market sources considered Petrobras to be quiet in the market for prompt cargoes

having secured most of its summer require-ments in advance from select sellers

France-based GDF SUEZ UK-headquar-tered BG Group Norwayrsquos Statoil Anglo-Dutch major Shell and London-based EDF Trading have all delivered cargoes to Brazil in April May and June

A source in the Atlantic basin said buy-ing activity from Petrobras is expected to be muted for the rest of the third quarter

BG delivers reload to South KoreaThe 155000cbm GasLog Shanghai is currently sailing towards South Korea according to vessel-tracking data

The vessel under the control of portfolio seller BG Group is carrying a reload cargo from Francersquos Fos Cavaou LNG terminal to the Gwangyang LNG terminal in South Korea

It is expected to reach its destination on 2 June after departing from Fos Cavaou on

27 April It is likely to be delivering the cargo to South Korea-based steelmaker POSCO which operates the Gwangyang terminal

POSCO currently imports 055mtpa of LNG from the BP-led Tangguh plant in Indonesia under a 20-year contract through to 2024 Trading sources indicated that Paris-based portfolio sellers would likely be behind an FOB sale to BG Group

Both Total and GDF SUEZ are capacity holders at Fos Cavaou Up to 100000cbm of volumes are allowed to be reloaded from Fos due to regulations

Also heading to South Korea is the 173000cbm Ribera del Duero Knutsen ac-cording to vessel-tracking data

The vessel under the control of Shell departed from Bonny Island on 27 May and is expected to reach Incheon port on 24 June It is likely to deliver the cargo to KOGAS which operates the terminal

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has revamped the order of pending non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) LNG export ap-plications in order to prioritise ldquocommercially advancedrdquo projects

This means projects that have received permitting approval from the US Federal En-ergy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will now be eligible for DOE approval first instead of waiting through a queue that established precedence based on the order of when the application was received

ldquoThe Department intends to make final public interest determinations only after a project has completed the NEPA [National Environmental Policy Act] process instead of issuing conditional authorisationsrdquo DOE said in a 29 May statement

DOE first established the order of prec-edence for non-FTA export licenses on 5 December 2012 after the agency was over-whelmed with a wave of export proposals

A non-FTA country is any country that does not have a free trade agreement with the US This comprises many of the key LNG importers including Japan China and India

While DOE must automatically approve an FTA export license the agency has discretion over when to approve non-FTA applications

Cheniere was the first company to hatch the idea of the Sabine Pass LNG import termi-nal as a liquefaction plant but after receiving its non-FTA license in 2010

DOE then stalled for a year and a half be-fore issuing further export licenses as public debate weighed in on industrial consumersrsquo views on the price of natural gas and the industryrsquos environmental impact

In the last four years DOE has issued seven non-FTA conditional licenses for six US

LNG projects Chenierersquos first four trains at Sabine Pass the 132mtpa Freeport LNG the 15mtpa Lake Charles Dominionrsquos 525mtpa Cove Point LNG Semprarsquos 12mpta Cameron LNG and the 6mpta Jordan Cove proposal

This new policy is not anticipated to change any of those conditional orders that have already been issued

Changes for remaining applicants Currently 24 export applications for non-FTA licenses are yet to be considered They range from small-scale concepts aiming to target the fledgling Caribbean market to major international companies such as ExxonMobil that carry the balance sheet to clear the high capital costs of an export project ranging in the tens of billions of dollars

Under the new scheme projects await-ing a non-FTA license must now have the final approval under regulations in the NEPA review which is under FERCrsquos jurisdiction before DOE will issue an export license

Of the pending projects the most advanced in FERC permitting applications include US-based Excelerate Energyrsquos Lavaca Bay greenfield floating LNG project in Texas Chenierersquos second greenfield 135mtpa Cor-pus Christi venture and the proposed 8mpta Magnolia LNG greenfield project in Lake Charles Louisiana This also bodes well for the US LNG export expansion proposed for ExxonMobil and Qatar Petroleumrsquos Golden Pass slated for 15mpta although Golden Pass has not advanced much further than preliminary FERC filings

DOE also released two studies addressing the environmental impact of unconventional natural gas production and the lifecycle green-house gas impacts of US LNG exports The new

proposed policy along with the studies will now go through a 45-day comment period

Shortly after DOErsquos announcement US Senator Mary Landrieu a Democrat from Louisiana who chairs the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources issued a statement welcoming the decision Landrieu was among several lawmakers in March who called on DOE to consider changing its order of precedence for LNG export projects

Landrieu stated the decision by DOE to streamline the permit approval process is ldquoa positive step forward to responsibly export Americarsquos abundant supply of natural gasrdquo

Oregon LNG considers new policy The greenfield Oregon LNG project proposed for Warrenton Oregon was the next applicant in the non-FTA application queue

The planned 95mtpa plant envisages importing Canadian natural gas through pipe-lines in the Kingsgate and Huntingdon hubs near the British Columbia border Its CEO Peter Hansen told ICIS the new proposed non-FTA approval policy should not immediately affect the consideration of its export application

ldquoItrsquos sort of a two-edged sword Obvi-ously regulatory certainty is something that we really needrdquo he said ldquoOn the other hand I can see why the DOE would say this for pro-jects that are far down the path on permitsrdquo

The project expects to receive its schedul-ing notice from FERC in the ldquonear futurerdquo and could receive a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) by this autumn Hansen said

Oregon LNG has not secured any long-term contracts with buyers though Hansen said it has signed memorandums of agree-ment (MOUs) with ldquoAsian and North Ameri-can companiesrdquo Ruth Liao

Japanrsquos INPEX signs agreements to sell gas from Prelude FLNG

Published on the ICIS Dashboard at 1000

Indiarsquos gas network operator GAIL has decreased its spot LNG buying activity for the next two to three months

ldquoGAIL will not be active in the spot market for June-July as [its] key domestic customers have stopped buying gasrdquo a source familiar with the issue said

With the appoint-ment of new petro-leum and natural gas minister Dharmendra Pradhan on 27 May and the likely roll-out of a new budget in June there may be some buying activity for July to August However overall demand is still expected to be weak ndash potentially for one or two spot cargoes only

ldquoGAIL might buy one or two cargoes for July-August at $1100-1150MMBtu but discussions around these with sellers will happen only after the budget is rolled outrdquo a source said

Other Indian buyers such as Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) which has captive LNG demand for its refinery in Jamnagar Gujarat is looking at purchasing one to two spot de-liveries for the July-August period

RIL is targeting deals below $1300MMBtu on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis and is in discussions for spot deliveries with Qatari sellers according to sources

Reliancersquos demand is expected to be steady for the rest of the year unlike GAIL Petronet LNG and Gujarat State Petroleum Corp (GSPC) whose demand wanes on a seasonal basis

GSPC and Petronet LNG have noticed demand from industrial clients slow down during the monsoon season which runs from mid-May onwards to mid-September As a result both companies are not very active in the spot market for July-August deliveries

Slowdown in downstream sales As one of Indiarsquos largest LNG importers GAILrsquos key customers such as the domestic power and fertilizer companies have stopped buying gas for power generation in the past month as they have run out of government-aided fuel subsidies

The new Nar-endra Modi-led government is likely to release subsidies in June but no date has been fixed Also previous govern-ments have talked about cutting down subsidies by

15 for fertilizer companies and the new government is likely to implement the subsidy cut sources said

Power companies in India have switched to using coal from gas in the past two months as prices of power generated from coal is two times cheaper compared with gas

In the absence of demand from fertilizer and power companies GAIL is now selling its long- and medium-term LNG supplies to private customers that comprise steel and small-scale industries The price at which GAIL is supplying LNG to private customers is estimated at $1200-1300MMBtu Power and fertilizer companies make up 70 of GAILrsquos total customer portfolio

ldquoThe lack of demand from large custom-ers has forced us to sell LNG to other con-sumersrdquo the source said

In the week of 30 May during the release of GAILrsquos first-quarter results chairman BC Tri-pathi said GAIL will be importing 36 cargoes this financial year which began in April Of these 18 are expected to be procured in the spot market In the first quarter GAIL received seven to eight cargoes at the Dabhol and Da-hej LNG terminals Ranjana Kaushal

Indiarsquos GAIL slows down July-August spot buying activity

INPEX is negotiating the sale of LNG to To-kyo Electric (TEPCO) and Shizuoka Gas from the Prelude floating LNG (FLNG) project in Australia the Japanese oil and gas company said in a statement on 27 May

INPEX will deliver 560000 tonnes of LNG per annum to TEPCO and 70000 tonnes per annum to Shizuoka Gas for eight years on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis INPEX said

Deliveries will begin in 2017 according to the statement The companies are still finalis-ing details of the proposed contracts and did not disclose prices

The signing of the Heads of Agreements (HOAs) represents INPEXrsquos first sale of LNG from the Prelude FLNG project The project is a vessel built to float in the waters off the coast of western Australia pump up and liquefy the natural gas from the undersea Prelude gasfield

INPEX owns 175 in the project while a subsidiary of Anglo-Dutch major Shell holds a 675 stake and acts as operator South Ko-rearsquos KOGAS holds 10 and Taiwanrsquos monoly importer CPC owns a 5 stake

The Prelude project will start producing LNG by 2017 and produce at least 36mtpa of natural gas at its peak INPEX said in the statement Ben Lefebvre

Chilersquos state copper miner Codelco has taken its first step towards achieving consist-ent LNG supply for its mining operations in the north of the South American country af-ter signing a long-term agreement with com-patriot gas distribution company Metrogas

Metrogas is expected to deliver volumes to the Mejillones terminal in northern Chile from 2016 as part of an extension to a recently announced short-term supply agreement with the worldrsquos largest copper producer multiple Americas-based sources told ICIS

Gas will be sourced by Metrogas through its existing supply contract for the Quintero terminal in central Chile with British portfolio supplier BG Group

Under the amended terms of the supply agreement reached between the parties in 2012 Metrogas is able to divert volumes from Quintero to other Chilean ports

ldquoMetrogas will resell the gas to Codelco The agreement is on a long-term period and

is based on the low price at which Metrogas buys LNG from BG Group and the fact that they can decide between Quintero and Mejil-lonesrdquo a South American source told ICIS

A Metrogas spokesperson declined to comment on the nature of companyrsquos future supply commitments with Codelco when contacted by ICIS A Codelco spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment submitted by ICIS

Although the exact volumes that Metro-gas will send to Codelco are undefined the Santiago-based gas distributor is already un-derstood to have fully allocated its Quintero volumes for 2016 onwards

Existing customers of the distributor will not see contracts up for renewal next year extended as Metrogas looks to guarantee supplies to Codelco one Americas-based source told ICIS

This includes the reallocation of at least two 160000cbm cargoes a year provided to power generators on the countryrsquos ❯❯ Page 13

Codelco eyes long-term Metrogas LNG diversions

BP and Shell to supply Kuwait with third seller in the wingsAnglo-Dutch major Shell and UK-head-quartered BP have signed agreements to supply Kuwait with LNG over a five- to six-year period a Kuwait Petroleum Corp (KPC) official was quoted as saying on 13 April in the local media

Jamal Al-Loughani deputy managing director of marketing operations at KPC told the Kuwaiti daily newspaper Al-Seyassah that three portfolio sellers will supply KPC with a total of about 25mtpa of LNG with deliver-ies expected to be allocated over Kuwaitrsquos peak summer demand season which typically runs from end-March to November

KPC is expected to sign the supply con-tract with a third company by the end of this week Al-Loughani added While the identity

of the third supplier was not revealed Qatar-gas and Russian incumbent Gazprom were both mentioned as potential suppliers by industry sources

Gazprom said on 25 March that it was looking to expand cooperation with Kuwait on LNG The company supplied two spot cargoes to the country in 2011

However a source familiar with the issue said that negotiations between KPC and Gazprom involved deliveries of the proposed Vladivostok project volumes rather than existing mid-term volumes for delivery to a planned Kuwait onshore terminal from 2020 The supplier of mid-term volumes in the interim would be Qatargas according to the source ❯❯ Page 15

June-July demand in focus

Asian markets were back in contango with July at a premium to June amid increasing evidence that the recent reduction in prices in the region may have bottomed out

Prompt supply availability is well balanced globally but is said to have grown stronger in the Atlantic than in the Pacific basin with more flexible volumes emerging from Nigeria and Spain Demand from Brazil meanwhile continues to make it the premium buyer in South America

Brazilrsquos state-owned importer Petrobras was awarded a free-on-board (FOB) Nige-rian cargo for loading on 2 June while other prompt cargoes from west Africa have also been offered and transacted

In the Pacific basin some traders also said they expected imminent offers from the new Papua New Guinea LNG facility Project de-veloper ExxonMobil has said first volumes will be exported by mid-year and once the ramp up is complete one source estimated as many as four or five spot cargoes could be available per month

With Japanese buyers absent from recent buying activity Indian buyers have stepped up short-term procurement Following GSPC ruptured supply contract with GAIL GSPC has become another buyer on the market likely to procure six or seven more cargoes

this year Other Indian companies were heard to be in the market for May-June at prices under $1500MMBtu

In Europe Qatari deliveries into the UK continued to pick up mirroring the trend of 2013 while the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year was concluded at the Montoir termi-nal on Francersquos Atlantic coast

The outgoing ICIS East Asian Index (EAX) for May expired at $1521MMBtu having shed 8 over its period as front month The June index was pegged at just below $1500MMBtu with July at a $020MMBtu premi-um Japanese electricity utilities are expected to come to market to cater for heightened seasonal power generation demand

African volume there ndash Brazil key US-based energy supplier Chevron was heard to be offering at least two cargoes from Nigeria LNG (NLNG) with one available for late-May lifting and another linked to a 21 June loading Portuguese NLNG offtaker Galp is understood to have originally sold FOB cargoes for lifting on 2 June and 21 June to Petrobras and Chevron respectively

Achievable netback values for Nige-rian cargoes are substantially higher for June delivery into South America than into northeast Asia with Brazil still looking like

the most plausible buyer Petrobras however was also heard to have been in discussions for strip deals from BP and Shell to cover the upcoming months which could limit its spot demand

On the other hand there were increased signs that the warming weather pattern El Nino could soon appear The impact on Brazil could be a continuation of the dry weather which has increased the need for LNG be-cause of low hydro-power generation Reser-voir levels remain low across key generating regions

The GDF SUEZ Neptune brought a cargo into the floating storage and regasification unit at Brazilrsquos Guanabara Bay on 13 April ndash the third cargo brought in by the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ

Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS lifted the Seri Bega-wan as a reload from Zeebrugge on 13 April with the vessel due to arrive in Brazil on 30 April This would be the eighth cargo into Brazil in April In May 2013 Petrobras took in 10 cargoes

Argentinean state-buyers ENARSA and YPF could release a tender for June deliveries but no announcement has so far emerged

The LNG demand outlook is more muted from other South American countries Chilersquos Quintero terminal is expecting two spot de-liveries in the second quarter with buyers not expecting to require additional volume over the countryrsquos winter period

The LNG-purchasing GNL consortium is understood to have taken a spot cargo from BG for arrival in May with Shell to deliver another cargo in the first half of June Both cargoes were understood to originate from Trinidad in the low $1600sMMBtu when agreed in late March

No immediate demand is expected from Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE

Japan June demand surfacesThe relative lull in bidding interest from Japan recently has showed some signs of drawing to a close with three utility buyers reportedly bidding in the mid-$1400sMMBtu for June delivery At least four utilities were heard to have tank space but waiting to see if further price falls would come

But with northeast Asian markets show-ing a contango from June into July the delivery window for opportunistic buys is considered finite and closing The July DES price is above $1500MMBtu as power con-sumption across Japanese urban centres is expected to rise in line with seasonal demand for air-conditioning

The Japanese Meteorological Agency said there was a 40 probability of above-normal temperatures between June and August in several key regions of the country which would typically support the need for marginal LNG imports over the period

Visibility on July pricing in key Asian mar-kets was limited however with sellers said to

be holding offers back in case demand more clearly rebounded

In more recent spot ship movements Chinarsquos state owned buyer CNOOC was con-sidered the most likely winner of the recent Angola tender with the 160000cbm Sonan-gol Etosha headed for the CNOOC-controlled Zhejiang Ningbo terminal on 17 April Sources said the cargo was sold in the high $1400sMMBtu but this was not confirmed

Ship data also revealed another spot de-livery into China aboard the Statoil-controlled 155000cbm Arctic Aurora which is due to arrive at delivery an unidentified Chinese port on 18 April

In Japan the PETRONAS-controlled 145000cbm Seri Angkasa was due into the Oita terminal with a Nigeria-sourced cargo on 19 April Regional utility Kysuhu Electric is the main capacity holder at the terminal

Clarity on plant turnarounds The usual shutdown slate is kicking in over the spring period with more to come in the second half of the year However market impact was seen as limited with the loss of volume already factored in

The 33mtpa train two at Atlantic LNG in Trinidad was heard to have gone down for five days from 17 April The third train was reportedly due to undergo maintenance for six days from 1 July with train one also down for six days in August

Norwayrsquos Snohvit will shut down from 2 May to 9 June Two cargoes delivered from the facility into the Dutch Gate terminal were partly acting as storage for Statoil ahead of the shutdown sources said

A trader said the single-train Angola plant had begun 15 days of maintenance at the start of April with a 50-60 day outage planned from July-August

Spain still busy more into UKA further five reloads are planned from Spanish terminals in the second half of April ndash with Cartagena the most active While the push for fresh business appeared to slow down in the run up to the Easter holiday period six reloads are planned for May with an additional one straddling the end of April start of May This is double the number of reloads done last May

The EDFT-controlled 160000cbm Cool Voyager was due into Cartagena on 20 April with the cargo reload said to be due to go to South Korea The FOB reload price has hov-ered in the $1300sMMBtu in recent weeks

In the UK the trend of rising Qatari cargoes into South Hook in April continued in a similar trend to last year A total of five cargoes have already arrived into the Welsh facility with a further two scheduled in by the end of the month This would represent the highest volume intake since last November

Last April South Hook imports also jumped month on month to reach

CNOOC was considered the most likely winner

of the recent Angola tender

939000 tonnes from Qatar in line with the end of the winter demand profile in north-east Asia NBP prices currently represent one of the lowest netback values with the front month at more than a three-year low ndash in part as a result of the increase in LNG arrivals But the liquidity of the hub and availability of buyers is still a useful flexible tool for spare cargoes

First 2014 STS transfer at MontoirThe French Montoir LNG facility carried out the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year on 12 April on two GDF SUEZ vessels Snohvit-sourced LNG was transferred over a period of two days from the 177000cbm Grace Dahlia to the 150000cbm Grace Barleria The latter was likely to head to South Korea to either of the countryrsquos independent importers GS Caltex or SK EampS a source said

Surge in shipping activityMore than 10 LNG carriers have been chartered in the last three weeks according to shipping sources with a growing discrepancy in rates in the Atlantic and the Pacific Ship owners have been more willing to renegotiate on re-delivery terms while keeping charter rates above $60000day for dual fuel diesel electric (DFDE) ships and in the $50000sday for steam turbine propulsion ships GDF SUEZ EDFT and Trafigura were all heard to have chartered 2013-built DFDE vessels

Canadian Triton LNG receives regulatory export licence Calgary-based AltaGas and its Japanese refining partner Idemitsu have received a 25-year export licence from Canadian energy regulators for their joint small-scale LNG ex-port project

The proposed venture which would either be located near Kitimat or Prince Rupert in British Columbia envisages a floating lique-faction storage and offloading (FLSO) vessel which would include two liquefaction trains

Known as Triton LNG the project received approval to export 23mtpa on 16 April from Canadarsquos National Energy Board (NEB) as well as an additional 15 annual tolerance as per Canadian export standards

ldquoWe have determined that the quantity of gas proposed to be exported by Triton LNG is surplus to Canadian needs The board is satis-fied that the gas resource base in Canada as well as North America is large and can ac-commodate reasonably foreseeable Canadian demand the proposed LNG exports and a plausible potential increase in demandrdquo the NEB order stated

Given the abundance of shale gas in North America the US is no longer importing Cana-dian gas which has stranded the countryrsquos gas reserves and spurred LNG export projects to be developed along the west coast of British Columbia

The Western Canadian export projects are targeting premium northeast Asian markets and Asian companies such as Idemitsu have partnered directly with project proponents through equity and offtake agreements in order to help commercialise the gas

However the Canadian liquefaction ventures and associated pipelines which are developed at a greenfield cost have stalled in reaching final investment because of the cost uncertainties associated with developing in such a rugged and remote environment

Canadarsquos provincial government officials and regulatory authorities have viewed themselves as backers of the LNG industry promoting the country as a desirable location to develop large energy infrastructure projects such as LNG exports

The next project awaiting its export licence is Goldboro LNG a scheme developed by Pieri-dae Energy in Guysborough Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada The 10mpta project has a 5mpta agreement in place with German utility EON on a European hub-indexation The project seeks to supply the LNG by requesting a flow reversal on the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline that runs from Canada to the US

The gap between the NEBrsquos last approval ndash on 16 December 2013 ndash and the Triton LNG approval on 16 April perhaps signals a more cautious approach by the government

While not as lengthy as the time that it took for the US Freeport LNG project to receive its long-awaited non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export licence from the US Depart-ment of Energy (DOE) the four-month pause between the Canadian projects has been the longest time period yet between approvals

In the interim the NEB also approved a 25-year application in February for a US pro-ject proposed on the west coast the planned 6mpta Jordan Cove venture developed by Cal-gary-based infrastructure company Veresen The Jordan Cove scheme proposes importing Canadian pipeline gas into the US and then bringing the volumes to the greenfield site in southwest Oregon to export as LNG

Triton LNG is the ninth project with a Cana-dian export licence

The NEB approved a batch of four projects in December 2013 These included BG Grouprsquos Prince Rupert facility Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest the ExxonMobil-Imperial Oil venture WCC and the Woodfibre LNG export project developed by the Singa-pore energy company Pacific Oil amp Gas

Royal Dutch Shell is leading a consortium with Chinarsquos PetroChina Japanese trading company Mitsubishi and Korearsquos KOGAS for a planned 12mtpa facility in Kitimat

The first Canadian project to receive its ex-port licence was in October 2011 the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG project which is now being jointly marketed by US-based producer Chevron and exploration and production com-pany Apache Corporation Ruth Liao

GIIGNL corrects annual reportA mid-term agreement between the An-gola LNG consortium and Brazilrsquos state-run Petrobras in the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL) report published on 8 April was incorrect according to the organi-sation The initial report stated that the two companies reached an agreement in 2013 for

400000 tonnes per annum on a four-year basis on delivered ex-ship (DES) terms

The information was considered incor-rectly documented as a wrong assumption and GIIGNL has since reissued a final report on its website removing the contract infor-mation Ruth Liao

Russia aims to finalise gas talks with China by MayRussiarsquos incumbent producer Gazprom hopes to finalise a 30-year gas agreement to supply China prior to President Vladimir Pu-tinrsquos approaching visit Arkady Dvorkovich Russiarsquos deputy prime minister said on 14 April as quoted by the Russian media

ldquoOn gas the talks are nearing a close and there is a mutual intention to finish this work before the Russian presidentrsquos visit in Mayrdquo Dvorkovich said during a televised government meeting

ldquoConsultations are ongoing and Gazpromrsquos management are holding talks with Chinese partners on the contract terms We hope to conclude the contract in May and believe it should come into effect by the year endrdquo Dvorkovich said

The agreement would involve the export of 38 billion cubic metres (bcm)year of pipe-line gas starting in 2018

Volumes could be ramped up to 70bcmyear over the course of 30 years The framework agreement between Gazprom and government-controlled China National Petroleum Corporation was signed back in 2009

Negotiations have taken place over the course of the last 10 years with pricing seen as the main roadblock to reaching the agree-ment

However with growing political tensions over Russiarsquos involvement in Ukrainersquos crisis and the subsequent annexation of Crimea China could have gained a bargaining ad-vantage with the potential increasing isola-tion of Russia from western gas markets

Russia has been actively seeking alterna-tive markets in Asia to export gas either through pipeline from fields mainly in Si-beria and the Russian Far East or as LNG to decrease dependence on European imports Russia has few exports markets for gas out-side Europe

lsquoEconomic sanctions from the EU cou-pled with potential competition of shale gas exports from the US ndash as LNG or shale gas develops in Europe ndash could mean a diminish-ing market for Russian gas

As a result Russian export strategy has become mainly Asia-oriented with the po-tential development of several LNG projects including Vladivostok and the expansion of the Sakhalin-2 LNG project with another train

China needs gas to satisfy its growing energy needs as well as to replace coal-fired power generation in densely populated parts of the country Roman Kazmin

Japanrsquos energy plan warns about LNG dependenceJapanrsquos cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sources of power generation and relegates LNG to an inter-mediate load source status according to the plan released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) on 11 April The energy plan which lays out the countryrsquos energy policies for the next 20 years warned about the need to avoid exces-sive reliance on high-priced LNG imports as a substitution for nuclear power generation but did not include any numerical targets for the countryrsquos long-term energy mix

ldquoJapan should avoid excessive depen-dence on LNG as a source of power genera-tion and promote cost reductions by diversify-ing its supply sourcesrdquo the plan said

The plan suggests a number of actions that can be taken at the corporate and in-stitutional levels to reduce the cost of LNG imports such as diversifying contract price indexations eliminating destination restric-tions increasing investment in upstream developments and supporting joint procure-ment agreements to increase buyersrsquo bar-gaining power

ldquoIt is necessary to continue to support strategic efforts towards joint procurementrdquo the plan said

The plan anticipates that US shale gas exports will have a positive impact on the Japanese and global markets from 2017 as these contracts will be linked to the US Henry Hub gas benchmark and will not include a destination restriction clause which means offtakers will be able to trade volumes inter-nationally

ldquoUS LNG will contribute not only to the improvement of the global trading environ-ment but also to the creation of an LNG futures marketrdquo the plan said

Fourth planJapanrsquos energy plan which was drafted in December 2013 but only released by METI for cabinet approval on 18 March is the countryrsquos fourth basic energy plan and the first one formulated since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Since then Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90

The plan highlights the key role that coal and nuclear power sources are expected to play in the countryrsquos energy mix (For more on this see the Focus on Japan)

The plan re-evaluated the key role that nuclear power is to play in the countryrsquos en-ergy mix and states that Japan will proceed to

restart those nuclear reactors that have suc-cessfully passed the safety assessments by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) and have received approval by the local governments

This reverses the previous Democratic Party of Japan governmentrsquos decision to phase out nuclear power generation by 2040 in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster

Nuclear energy remains an efficient abundant and stable source of power sup-ply which can be domestically produced at relatively low operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions the plan said The priority lies in ensuring the safety of the nuclear power plants it added

Power market liberalisation by 2020The plan highlighted the importance of reforms aimed at liberalising the downstream power markets The full liberalisation of the downstream power generation and retail markets are being advanced through three stages with completion of stage three expected in 2020 the plan said

ldquoBy promoting legal neutrality in the power transmission and distribution sector we will tackle limitations in the conventional power system and increase investment in the power distribution networkrdquo the plan said Abache Abreu

Thailandrsquos PTT in talks for up to 1mtpa of long-term supply from BP

Thailandrsquos state-owned buyer PTT is in discussions with UK-headquartered oil and gas major BP for the long-term supply of up to 1mtpa of LNG on a delivered ex ship (DES) basis starting from 2015 a PTT company offi-cial said in a telephone interview on 11 April

ldquoWe are in discussions with many suppli-ers to make sure we have the best deal for the best interest of the countryrdquo said Nutta-chat Charuchinda chief operations officer of PTTrsquos downstream petroleum business group

ldquoWe would like to see the best options that are available to us [hellip] a basket of supply to make sure that we have security of supply at the best pricerdquo he said

PTT is open to different sources of supply and price indexationsldquo whether it is linked to crude oil JCC [Japanese Crude Cocktail] or Henry Hubrdquo Charuchinda said

Additional contractual agreements are sought in response to PTTrsquos own energy forecasts which foresee a rise in Thailandrsquos domestic energy consumption and an in-crease in the share natural gas holds in the countryrsquos energy mix in relation to coal and nuclear power generation On the other hand the countryrsquos energy reserves are fast dwindling according to PTT while pipeline gas imports from neighbouring countries are increasingly limited

PTT has so far signed two long-term agreements for a total supply of 46mtpa by 2020 In December 2012 PTT signed its first long-term LNG contract with Qatargas for the supply of 2mpta of LNG for 20 years start-ing in 2015 In December 2013 PTT signed a preliminary deal with US-based Anadarko Petroleum for the procurement of 26mpta from Mozambique starting from 2018-2019

Additional 1mtpa might be enoughIn the long term PTT might be interested in securing additional supply from North America or east Africa but having secured 46mtpa under long-term contracts an additional 1mtpa supply might be sufficient to meet the Thai buyerrsquos mid-term demand requirements a Singapore-based analyst said

ldquoPTT has realised they need more LNG but with almost 5mtpa in contracts and an additional 1mtpa under discussion they might wait and see before they start buying againrdquo said Tony Regan an analyst at Singa-pore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoPTT could be cautious and assume they might not be able to get more gas from Myanmar domestic reserves are declining and there is little potential for that to recoverrdquo he said ldquoBut I think they will wait Otherwise they are going to see prices firming because

of all this buying activity Also they have been relatively slow to develop their domestic market for regasified LNG There is a huge industry nearby but it is taking them time to secure contracts with offtakers and arrange truck lifting from the terminalrdquo

Spot procurement set to continueWhile PTT aims to meet most of its demand requirements through long-term contracts the Thai buyer will continue to supplement any shortages through spot LNG purchases

ldquoWe cannot commit [wholly] to term supply Some spot supply [will continue]rdquo Charuchinda said The company recently awarded a single-cargo buy tender for deliv-ery between 5-20 May and is in the market for additional June-delivery volumes

ldquo[PTT] has finished procurement for May [and] will now start looking for June [deliver-ies]rdquo a source close to the tender process said

PTT typically limits participation in its ten-ders to parties with which it has previously concluded master sales agreements Winners of 2013 PTT tenders include Qatari supplier Qatargas Francersquos GDF SUEZ UK-based BG Group and Anglo-Dutch major Shell Nor-wayrsquos Statoil Francersquos Total and Russiarsquos Gazprom have also participated in the 2013 tenders Abache Abreu

GSPC increases LNG market participation ahead of MundraIndian natural gas trader Gujarat State Pe-troleum Corporation (GSPC) has stepped up its short-term LNG procurement following the rupture of a 15-year contract it previ-ously held with state-owned importer GAIL

GSPC has been independently looking for cargoes since March and is no longer relying on GAIL for supplies of about eight LNG cargoes per year a source close to the situation has told ICIS

GAIL had previously sought to renegoti-ate the price of its regasified LNG supplies to GSPC on the back of increases in trans-portation tariffs and rising international LNG prices since 2011 ICIS understands

While the Supreme Court of India up-held GAILrsquos right to negotiate prices for gas delivery from 2014 both parties failed to agree on a suitable price arrangement

A document from the Supreme Court in September 2013 revealed ldquoThe fact that no agreement could be reached between GAIL and GSPC regarding the price of gas [means that] the agreement shall stand terminated with effect from 01012014 and the parties hereto shall stand relieved of their obligation under the Agreementrdquo

As a result GSPC has now increased its presence on the LNG market in order to supply downstream customers engaged in power generation steel and city gas distri-bution

The company has taken delivery of a Qatar-sourced spot cargo on 11 April at the Dahej LNG terminal ICIS understands the cargo was delivered at a landed cost in the $1630sMMBtu

The ICIS DES [delivered ex-ship] India price was assessed for the final time for

April delivery at $1645MMBtu on 14 March

GSPC awards Mundra EPC contract GSPC as the developer of what would be the state of Gujaratrsquos third LNG terminal ndash the Mundra regasification project ndash has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project to Japanrsquos Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO) it said in a statement on 14 April

The 5mtpa project on Indiarsquos west coast is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2016

Despite ground work on the terminal moving ahead GSPC has yet to find a part-ner for a 25 stake in the terminal ICIS understands

In December 2013 India Gas Solutions (IGS) ndash the 5050 joint venture of UK-based BP and Indiarsquos Reliance Industries ndash along with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Indian state companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) were all short-listed for the second round of the stake sale

However no decision has been taken as yet on the second round adding to the speculation that the terminal may miss its targeted start-up date in 2016

The state of Gujarat already has two operational LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej with sources in India noting that expansions at the two facilities may leave Mundra a second-best choice for customers in the area

ldquoThe tariffs at Mundra being a green-field project are expected to be higher compared with Dahejrdquo one source said Ranjana KaushalLudovic Aldersley

Greece in talks with infrastructure provider

Greecersquos minister of environment energy and climate change met with floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) provider Golar LNG regarding a planned import terminal in the north of the country the ministry said on 15 April Greecersquos state-owned gas supply com-pany DEPA is progressing plans to have a 3-5 billion cubic metre (bcm)year FSRU by 2017 which the European Commission considers as a project of common interest

The feasibility study and environmental impact study prepared by DEPA are currently in the final stages according to minister Yian-nis Maniatis

ldquoThe importance of the project together with the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) are major pillars of enhancing energy security of the regionrdquo the Ministry said adding its importance is further ldquore-flected by the advanced consultations with governments and companies from Bulgaria and Romaniardquo

Several LNG terminal developments have been proposed across southeast Europe with an eye on the wider regional market

Within Greece DEPArsquos FSRU proposal is one of three projects that includes expansion of the existing 5bcmyear Revithoussa terminal and a separate FSRU proposal from domestic energy conglomerate Copelouzos

ldquoGolar has expressed its interest in full participation in financing the project provid-ing significant flexibility in the implementation of the overall projectrdquo the Greek ministry said

In parallel to the LNG infrastructure projects the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector is scheduled to be sanctioned in mid-2014 ahead of a 2016 start-up with an initial 3bcmyear capacity ICIS understands Ludovic Aldersley

Taipower could extend lifespan of its nuclear power plantsTaiwanese state-owned utility Taipower could apply to extend the lifespan of its three existing nuclear plant fleet if its fourth facil-ity which is still under construction is not brought on line due to public opposition according to a company source

Taipower hopes that the plant ndash which is located in Gongliao district New Taipei City ndash can become operational next year It will be able to generate around 193TWhyear the source said

With Taipowerrsquos existing nuclear power plants heading for decommissioning in the

coming years there is a risk of power short-ages by 2016 he added

The two units of Taipowerrsquos No 1 nuclear plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018 and 2019 respectively while the two units in the second plant will expire in 2021 and 2022 The two units in the third plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024 and 2025 respectively according to Taiwanrsquos Atomic Energy Council

Taipower is considering using alterna-tive sources of energy such as natural gas and coal but feels nuclear energy has

many advantages ldquoIt will be very difficult and expensive to use alternative sources of energy to make up any shortfallrdquo the source said

The price of importing LNG is very expen-sive compared to nuclear power generation Furthermore the amount of LNG that can be imported is also limited by Taiwanrsquos LNG terminal capacity

ldquoWe would need to build additional in-frastructure such as LNG receiving terminals tanks and pipelines if we want to import enough LNG to cover the shortfall of nuclear powerrdquo the source said Hairul Borhan

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS for the daily European Gas Fundamentals report

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

Market reforms are meant to encourage the

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

Japanrsquos INPEX signs agreements to sell gas from Prelude FLNG

Published on the ICIS Dashboard at 1000

Indiarsquos gas network operator GAIL has decreased its spot LNG buying activity for the next two to three months

ldquoGAIL will not be active in the spot market for June-July as [its] key domestic customers have stopped buying gasrdquo a source familiar with the issue said

With the appoint-ment of new petro-leum and natural gas minister Dharmendra Pradhan on 27 May and the likely roll-out of a new budget in June there may be some buying activity for July to August However overall demand is still expected to be weak ndash potentially for one or two spot cargoes only

ldquoGAIL might buy one or two cargoes for July-August at $1100-1150MMBtu but discussions around these with sellers will happen only after the budget is rolled outrdquo a source said

Other Indian buyers such as Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) which has captive LNG demand for its refinery in Jamnagar Gujarat is looking at purchasing one to two spot de-liveries for the July-August period

RIL is targeting deals below $1300MMBtu on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis and is in discussions for spot deliveries with Qatari sellers according to sources

Reliancersquos demand is expected to be steady for the rest of the year unlike GAIL Petronet LNG and Gujarat State Petroleum Corp (GSPC) whose demand wanes on a seasonal basis

GSPC and Petronet LNG have noticed demand from industrial clients slow down during the monsoon season which runs from mid-May onwards to mid-September As a result both companies are not very active in the spot market for July-August deliveries

Slowdown in downstream sales As one of Indiarsquos largest LNG importers GAILrsquos key customers such as the domestic power and fertilizer companies have stopped buying gas for power generation in the past month as they have run out of government-aided fuel subsidies

The new Nar-endra Modi-led government is likely to release subsidies in June but no date has been fixed Also previous govern-ments have talked about cutting down subsidies by

15 for fertilizer companies and the new government is likely to implement the subsidy cut sources said

Power companies in India have switched to using coal from gas in the past two months as prices of power generated from coal is two times cheaper compared with gas

In the absence of demand from fertilizer and power companies GAIL is now selling its long- and medium-term LNG supplies to private customers that comprise steel and small-scale industries The price at which GAIL is supplying LNG to private customers is estimated at $1200-1300MMBtu Power and fertilizer companies make up 70 of GAILrsquos total customer portfolio

ldquoThe lack of demand from large custom-ers has forced us to sell LNG to other con-sumersrdquo the source said

In the week of 30 May during the release of GAILrsquos first-quarter results chairman BC Tri-pathi said GAIL will be importing 36 cargoes this financial year which began in April Of these 18 are expected to be procured in the spot market In the first quarter GAIL received seven to eight cargoes at the Dabhol and Da-hej LNG terminals Ranjana Kaushal

Indiarsquos GAIL slows down July-August spot buying activity

INPEX is negotiating the sale of LNG to To-kyo Electric (TEPCO) and Shizuoka Gas from the Prelude floating LNG (FLNG) project in Australia the Japanese oil and gas company said in a statement on 27 May

INPEX will deliver 560000 tonnes of LNG per annum to TEPCO and 70000 tonnes per annum to Shizuoka Gas for eight years on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis INPEX said

Deliveries will begin in 2017 according to the statement The companies are still finalis-ing details of the proposed contracts and did not disclose prices

The signing of the Heads of Agreements (HOAs) represents INPEXrsquos first sale of LNG from the Prelude FLNG project The project is a vessel built to float in the waters off the coast of western Australia pump up and liquefy the natural gas from the undersea Prelude gasfield

INPEX owns 175 in the project while a subsidiary of Anglo-Dutch major Shell holds a 675 stake and acts as operator South Ko-rearsquos KOGAS holds 10 and Taiwanrsquos monoly importer CPC owns a 5 stake

The Prelude project will start producing LNG by 2017 and produce at least 36mtpa of natural gas at its peak INPEX said in the statement Ben Lefebvre

Chilersquos state copper miner Codelco has taken its first step towards achieving consist-ent LNG supply for its mining operations in the north of the South American country af-ter signing a long-term agreement with com-patriot gas distribution company Metrogas

Metrogas is expected to deliver volumes to the Mejillones terminal in northern Chile from 2016 as part of an extension to a recently announced short-term supply agreement with the worldrsquos largest copper producer multiple Americas-based sources told ICIS

Gas will be sourced by Metrogas through its existing supply contract for the Quintero terminal in central Chile with British portfolio supplier BG Group

Under the amended terms of the supply agreement reached between the parties in 2012 Metrogas is able to divert volumes from Quintero to other Chilean ports

ldquoMetrogas will resell the gas to Codelco The agreement is on a long-term period and

is based on the low price at which Metrogas buys LNG from BG Group and the fact that they can decide between Quintero and Mejil-lonesrdquo a South American source told ICIS

A Metrogas spokesperson declined to comment on the nature of companyrsquos future supply commitments with Codelco when contacted by ICIS A Codelco spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment submitted by ICIS

Although the exact volumes that Metro-gas will send to Codelco are undefined the Santiago-based gas distributor is already un-derstood to have fully allocated its Quintero volumes for 2016 onwards

Existing customers of the distributor will not see contracts up for renewal next year extended as Metrogas looks to guarantee supplies to Codelco one Americas-based source told ICIS

This includes the reallocation of at least two 160000cbm cargoes a year provided to power generators on the countryrsquos ❯❯ Page 13

Codelco eyes long-term Metrogas LNG diversions

BP and Shell to supply Kuwait with third seller in the wingsAnglo-Dutch major Shell and UK-head-quartered BP have signed agreements to supply Kuwait with LNG over a five- to six-year period a Kuwait Petroleum Corp (KPC) official was quoted as saying on 13 April in the local media

Jamal Al-Loughani deputy managing director of marketing operations at KPC told the Kuwaiti daily newspaper Al-Seyassah that three portfolio sellers will supply KPC with a total of about 25mtpa of LNG with deliver-ies expected to be allocated over Kuwaitrsquos peak summer demand season which typically runs from end-March to November

KPC is expected to sign the supply con-tract with a third company by the end of this week Al-Loughani added While the identity

of the third supplier was not revealed Qatar-gas and Russian incumbent Gazprom were both mentioned as potential suppliers by industry sources

Gazprom said on 25 March that it was looking to expand cooperation with Kuwait on LNG The company supplied two spot cargoes to the country in 2011

However a source familiar with the issue said that negotiations between KPC and Gazprom involved deliveries of the proposed Vladivostok project volumes rather than existing mid-term volumes for delivery to a planned Kuwait onshore terminal from 2020 The supplier of mid-term volumes in the interim would be Qatargas according to the source ❯❯ Page 15

June-July demand in focus

Asian markets were back in contango with July at a premium to June amid increasing evidence that the recent reduction in prices in the region may have bottomed out

Prompt supply availability is well balanced globally but is said to have grown stronger in the Atlantic than in the Pacific basin with more flexible volumes emerging from Nigeria and Spain Demand from Brazil meanwhile continues to make it the premium buyer in South America

Brazilrsquos state-owned importer Petrobras was awarded a free-on-board (FOB) Nige-rian cargo for loading on 2 June while other prompt cargoes from west Africa have also been offered and transacted

In the Pacific basin some traders also said they expected imminent offers from the new Papua New Guinea LNG facility Project de-veloper ExxonMobil has said first volumes will be exported by mid-year and once the ramp up is complete one source estimated as many as four or five spot cargoes could be available per month

With Japanese buyers absent from recent buying activity Indian buyers have stepped up short-term procurement Following GSPC ruptured supply contract with GAIL GSPC has become another buyer on the market likely to procure six or seven more cargoes

this year Other Indian companies were heard to be in the market for May-June at prices under $1500MMBtu

In Europe Qatari deliveries into the UK continued to pick up mirroring the trend of 2013 while the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year was concluded at the Montoir termi-nal on Francersquos Atlantic coast

The outgoing ICIS East Asian Index (EAX) for May expired at $1521MMBtu having shed 8 over its period as front month The June index was pegged at just below $1500MMBtu with July at a $020MMBtu premi-um Japanese electricity utilities are expected to come to market to cater for heightened seasonal power generation demand

African volume there ndash Brazil key US-based energy supplier Chevron was heard to be offering at least two cargoes from Nigeria LNG (NLNG) with one available for late-May lifting and another linked to a 21 June loading Portuguese NLNG offtaker Galp is understood to have originally sold FOB cargoes for lifting on 2 June and 21 June to Petrobras and Chevron respectively

Achievable netback values for Nige-rian cargoes are substantially higher for June delivery into South America than into northeast Asia with Brazil still looking like

the most plausible buyer Petrobras however was also heard to have been in discussions for strip deals from BP and Shell to cover the upcoming months which could limit its spot demand

On the other hand there were increased signs that the warming weather pattern El Nino could soon appear The impact on Brazil could be a continuation of the dry weather which has increased the need for LNG be-cause of low hydro-power generation Reser-voir levels remain low across key generating regions

The GDF SUEZ Neptune brought a cargo into the floating storage and regasification unit at Brazilrsquos Guanabara Bay on 13 April ndash the third cargo brought in by the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ

Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS lifted the Seri Bega-wan as a reload from Zeebrugge on 13 April with the vessel due to arrive in Brazil on 30 April This would be the eighth cargo into Brazil in April In May 2013 Petrobras took in 10 cargoes

Argentinean state-buyers ENARSA and YPF could release a tender for June deliveries but no announcement has so far emerged

The LNG demand outlook is more muted from other South American countries Chilersquos Quintero terminal is expecting two spot de-liveries in the second quarter with buyers not expecting to require additional volume over the countryrsquos winter period

The LNG-purchasing GNL consortium is understood to have taken a spot cargo from BG for arrival in May with Shell to deliver another cargo in the first half of June Both cargoes were understood to originate from Trinidad in the low $1600sMMBtu when agreed in late March

No immediate demand is expected from Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE

Japan June demand surfacesThe relative lull in bidding interest from Japan recently has showed some signs of drawing to a close with three utility buyers reportedly bidding in the mid-$1400sMMBtu for June delivery At least four utilities were heard to have tank space but waiting to see if further price falls would come

But with northeast Asian markets show-ing a contango from June into July the delivery window for opportunistic buys is considered finite and closing The July DES price is above $1500MMBtu as power con-sumption across Japanese urban centres is expected to rise in line with seasonal demand for air-conditioning

The Japanese Meteorological Agency said there was a 40 probability of above-normal temperatures between June and August in several key regions of the country which would typically support the need for marginal LNG imports over the period

Visibility on July pricing in key Asian mar-kets was limited however with sellers said to

be holding offers back in case demand more clearly rebounded

In more recent spot ship movements Chinarsquos state owned buyer CNOOC was con-sidered the most likely winner of the recent Angola tender with the 160000cbm Sonan-gol Etosha headed for the CNOOC-controlled Zhejiang Ningbo terminal on 17 April Sources said the cargo was sold in the high $1400sMMBtu but this was not confirmed

Ship data also revealed another spot de-livery into China aboard the Statoil-controlled 155000cbm Arctic Aurora which is due to arrive at delivery an unidentified Chinese port on 18 April

In Japan the PETRONAS-controlled 145000cbm Seri Angkasa was due into the Oita terminal with a Nigeria-sourced cargo on 19 April Regional utility Kysuhu Electric is the main capacity holder at the terminal

Clarity on plant turnarounds The usual shutdown slate is kicking in over the spring period with more to come in the second half of the year However market impact was seen as limited with the loss of volume already factored in

The 33mtpa train two at Atlantic LNG in Trinidad was heard to have gone down for five days from 17 April The third train was reportedly due to undergo maintenance for six days from 1 July with train one also down for six days in August

Norwayrsquos Snohvit will shut down from 2 May to 9 June Two cargoes delivered from the facility into the Dutch Gate terminal were partly acting as storage for Statoil ahead of the shutdown sources said

A trader said the single-train Angola plant had begun 15 days of maintenance at the start of April with a 50-60 day outage planned from July-August

Spain still busy more into UKA further five reloads are planned from Spanish terminals in the second half of April ndash with Cartagena the most active While the push for fresh business appeared to slow down in the run up to the Easter holiday period six reloads are planned for May with an additional one straddling the end of April start of May This is double the number of reloads done last May

The EDFT-controlled 160000cbm Cool Voyager was due into Cartagena on 20 April with the cargo reload said to be due to go to South Korea The FOB reload price has hov-ered in the $1300sMMBtu in recent weeks

In the UK the trend of rising Qatari cargoes into South Hook in April continued in a similar trend to last year A total of five cargoes have already arrived into the Welsh facility with a further two scheduled in by the end of the month This would represent the highest volume intake since last November

Last April South Hook imports also jumped month on month to reach

CNOOC was considered the most likely winner

of the recent Angola tender

939000 tonnes from Qatar in line with the end of the winter demand profile in north-east Asia NBP prices currently represent one of the lowest netback values with the front month at more than a three-year low ndash in part as a result of the increase in LNG arrivals But the liquidity of the hub and availability of buyers is still a useful flexible tool for spare cargoes

First 2014 STS transfer at MontoirThe French Montoir LNG facility carried out the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year on 12 April on two GDF SUEZ vessels Snohvit-sourced LNG was transferred over a period of two days from the 177000cbm Grace Dahlia to the 150000cbm Grace Barleria The latter was likely to head to South Korea to either of the countryrsquos independent importers GS Caltex or SK EampS a source said

Surge in shipping activityMore than 10 LNG carriers have been chartered in the last three weeks according to shipping sources with a growing discrepancy in rates in the Atlantic and the Pacific Ship owners have been more willing to renegotiate on re-delivery terms while keeping charter rates above $60000day for dual fuel diesel electric (DFDE) ships and in the $50000sday for steam turbine propulsion ships GDF SUEZ EDFT and Trafigura were all heard to have chartered 2013-built DFDE vessels

Canadian Triton LNG receives regulatory export licence Calgary-based AltaGas and its Japanese refining partner Idemitsu have received a 25-year export licence from Canadian energy regulators for their joint small-scale LNG ex-port project

The proposed venture which would either be located near Kitimat or Prince Rupert in British Columbia envisages a floating lique-faction storage and offloading (FLSO) vessel which would include two liquefaction trains

Known as Triton LNG the project received approval to export 23mtpa on 16 April from Canadarsquos National Energy Board (NEB) as well as an additional 15 annual tolerance as per Canadian export standards

ldquoWe have determined that the quantity of gas proposed to be exported by Triton LNG is surplus to Canadian needs The board is satis-fied that the gas resource base in Canada as well as North America is large and can ac-commodate reasonably foreseeable Canadian demand the proposed LNG exports and a plausible potential increase in demandrdquo the NEB order stated

Given the abundance of shale gas in North America the US is no longer importing Cana-dian gas which has stranded the countryrsquos gas reserves and spurred LNG export projects to be developed along the west coast of British Columbia

The Western Canadian export projects are targeting premium northeast Asian markets and Asian companies such as Idemitsu have partnered directly with project proponents through equity and offtake agreements in order to help commercialise the gas

However the Canadian liquefaction ventures and associated pipelines which are developed at a greenfield cost have stalled in reaching final investment because of the cost uncertainties associated with developing in such a rugged and remote environment

Canadarsquos provincial government officials and regulatory authorities have viewed themselves as backers of the LNG industry promoting the country as a desirable location to develop large energy infrastructure projects such as LNG exports

The next project awaiting its export licence is Goldboro LNG a scheme developed by Pieri-dae Energy in Guysborough Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada The 10mpta project has a 5mpta agreement in place with German utility EON on a European hub-indexation The project seeks to supply the LNG by requesting a flow reversal on the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline that runs from Canada to the US

The gap between the NEBrsquos last approval ndash on 16 December 2013 ndash and the Triton LNG approval on 16 April perhaps signals a more cautious approach by the government

While not as lengthy as the time that it took for the US Freeport LNG project to receive its long-awaited non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export licence from the US Depart-ment of Energy (DOE) the four-month pause between the Canadian projects has been the longest time period yet between approvals

In the interim the NEB also approved a 25-year application in February for a US pro-ject proposed on the west coast the planned 6mpta Jordan Cove venture developed by Cal-gary-based infrastructure company Veresen The Jordan Cove scheme proposes importing Canadian pipeline gas into the US and then bringing the volumes to the greenfield site in southwest Oregon to export as LNG

Triton LNG is the ninth project with a Cana-dian export licence

The NEB approved a batch of four projects in December 2013 These included BG Grouprsquos Prince Rupert facility Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest the ExxonMobil-Imperial Oil venture WCC and the Woodfibre LNG export project developed by the Singa-pore energy company Pacific Oil amp Gas

Royal Dutch Shell is leading a consortium with Chinarsquos PetroChina Japanese trading company Mitsubishi and Korearsquos KOGAS for a planned 12mtpa facility in Kitimat

The first Canadian project to receive its ex-port licence was in October 2011 the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG project which is now being jointly marketed by US-based producer Chevron and exploration and production com-pany Apache Corporation Ruth Liao

GIIGNL corrects annual reportA mid-term agreement between the An-gola LNG consortium and Brazilrsquos state-run Petrobras in the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL) report published on 8 April was incorrect according to the organi-sation The initial report stated that the two companies reached an agreement in 2013 for

400000 tonnes per annum on a four-year basis on delivered ex-ship (DES) terms

The information was considered incor-rectly documented as a wrong assumption and GIIGNL has since reissued a final report on its website removing the contract infor-mation Ruth Liao

Russia aims to finalise gas talks with China by MayRussiarsquos incumbent producer Gazprom hopes to finalise a 30-year gas agreement to supply China prior to President Vladimir Pu-tinrsquos approaching visit Arkady Dvorkovich Russiarsquos deputy prime minister said on 14 April as quoted by the Russian media

ldquoOn gas the talks are nearing a close and there is a mutual intention to finish this work before the Russian presidentrsquos visit in Mayrdquo Dvorkovich said during a televised government meeting

ldquoConsultations are ongoing and Gazpromrsquos management are holding talks with Chinese partners on the contract terms We hope to conclude the contract in May and believe it should come into effect by the year endrdquo Dvorkovich said

The agreement would involve the export of 38 billion cubic metres (bcm)year of pipe-line gas starting in 2018

Volumes could be ramped up to 70bcmyear over the course of 30 years The framework agreement between Gazprom and government-controlled China National Petroleum Corporation was signed back in 2009

Negotiations have taken place over the course of the last 10 years with pricing seen as the main roadblock to reaching the agree-ment

However with growing political tensions over Russiarsquos involvement in Ukrainersquos crisis and the subsequent annexation of Crimea China could have gained a bargaining ad-vantage with the potential increasing isola-tion of Russia from western gas markets

Russia has been actively seeking alterna-tive markets in Asia to export gas either through pipeline from fields mainly in Si-beria and the Russian Far East or as LNG to decrease dependence on European imports Russia has few exports markets for gas out-side Europe

lsquoEconomic sanctions from the EU cou-pled with potential competition of shale gas exports from the US ndash as LNG or shale gas develops in Europe ndash could mean a diminish-ing market for Russian gas

As a result Russian export strategy has become mainly Asia-oriented with the po-tential development of several LNG projects including Vladivostok and the expansion of the Sakhalin-2 LNG project with another train

China needs gas to satisfy its growing energy needs as well as to replace coal-fired power generation in densely populated parts of the country Roman Kazmin

Japanrsquos energy plan warns about LNG dependenceJapanrsquos cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sources of power generation and relegates LNG to an inter-mediate load source status according to the plan released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) on 11 April The energy plan which lays out the countryrsquos energy policies for the next 20 years warned about the need to avoid exces-sive reliance on high-priced LNG imports as a substitution for nuclear power generation but did not include any numerical targets for the countryrsquos long-term energy mix

ldquoJapan should avoid excessive depen-dence on LNG as a source of power genera-tion and promote cost reductions by diversify-ing its supply sourcesrdquo the plan said

The plan suggests a number of actions that can be taken at the corporate and in-stitutional levels to reduce the cost of LNG imports such as diversifying contract price indexations eliminating destination restric-tions increasing investment in upstream developments and supporting joint procure-ment agreements to increase buyersrsquo bar-gaining power

ldquoIt is necessary to continue to support strategic efforts towards joint procurementrdquo the plan said

The plan anticipates that US shale gas exports will have a positive impact on the Japanese and global markets from 2017 as these contracts will be linked to the US Henry Hub gas benchmark and will not include a destination restriction clause which means offtakers will be able to trade volumes inter-nationally

ldquoUS LNG will contribute not only to the improvement of the global trading environ-ment but also to the creation of an LNG futures marketrdquo the plan said

Fourth planJapanrsquos energy plan which was drafted in December 2013 but only released by METI for cabinet approval on 18 March is the countryrsquos fourth basic energy plan and the first one formulated since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Since then Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90

The plan highlights the key role that coal and nuclear power sources are expected to play in the countryrsquos energy mix (For more on this see the Focus on Japan)

The plan re-evaluated the key role that nuclear power is to play in the countryrsquos en-ergy mix and states that Japan will proceed to

restart those nuclear reactors that have suc-cessfully passed the safety assessments by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) and have received approval by the local governments

This reverses the previous Democratic Party of Japan governmentrsquos decision to phase out nuclear power generation by 2040 in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster

Nuclear energy remains an efficient abundant and stable source of power sup-ply which can be domestically produced at relatively low operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions the plan said The priority lies in ensuring the safety of the nuclear power plants it added

Power market liberalisation by 2020The plan highlighted the importance of reforms aimed at liberalising the downstream power markets The full liberalisation of the downstream power generation and retail markets are being advanced through three stages with completion of stage three expected in 2020 the plan said

ldquoBy promoting legal neutrality in the power transmission and distribution sector we will tackle limitations in the conventional power system and increase investment in the power distribution networkrdquo the plan said Abache Abreu

Thailandrsquos PTT in talks for up to 1mtpa of long-term supply from BP

Thailandrsquos state-owned buyer PTT is in discussions with UK-headquartered oil and gas major BP for the long-term supply of up to 1mtpa of LNG on a delivered ex ship (DES) basis starting from 2015 a PTT company offi-cial said in a telephone interview on 11 April

ldquoWe are in discussions with many suppli-ers to make sure we have the best deal for the best interest of the countryrdquo said Nutta-chat Charuchinda chief operations officer of PTTrsquos downstream petroleum business group

ldquoWe would like to see the best options that are available to us [hellip] a basket of supply to make sure that we have security of supply at the best pricerdquo he said

PTT is open to different sources of supply and price indexationsldquo whether it is linked to crude oil JCC [Japanese Crude Cocktail] or Henry Hubrdquo Charuchinda said

Additional contractual agreements are sought in response to PTTrsquos own energy forecasts which foresee a rise in Thailandrsquos domestic energy consumption and an in-crease in the share natural gas holds in the countryrsquos energy mix in relation to coal and nuclear power generation On the other hand the countryrsquos energy reserves are fast dwindling according to PTT while pipeline gas imports from neighbouring countries are increasingly limited

PTT has so far signed two long-term agreements for a total supply of 46mtpa by 2020 In December 2012 PTT signed its first long-term LNG contract with Qatargas for the supply of 2mpta of LNG for 20 years start-ing in 2015 In December 2013 PTT signed a preliminary deal with US-based Anadarko Petroleum for the procurement of 26mpta from Mozambique starting from 2018-2019

Additional 1mtpa might be enoughIn the long term PTT might be interested in securing additional supply from North America or east Africa but having secured 46mtpa under long-term contracts an additional 1mtpa supply might be sufficient to meet the Thai buyerrsquos mid-term demand requirements a Singapore-based analyst said

ldquoPTT has realised they need more LNG but with almost 5mtpa in contracts and an additional 1mtpa under discussion they might wait and see before they start buying againrdquo said Tony Regan an analyst at Singa-pore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoPTT could be cautious and assume they might not be able to get more gas from Myanmar domestic reserves are declining and there is little potential for that to recoverrdquo he said ldquoBut I think they will wait Otherwise they are going to see prices firming because

of all this buying activity Also they have been relatively slow to develop their domestic market for regasified LNG There is a huge industry nearby but it is taking them time to secure contracts with offtakers and arrange truck lifting from the terminalrdquo

Spot procurement set to continueWhile PTT aims to meet most of its demand requirements through long-term contracts the Thai buyer will continue to supplement any shortages through spot LNG purchases

ldquoWe cannot commit [wholly] to term supply Some spot supply [will continue]rdquo Charuchinda said The company recently awarded a single-cargo buy tender for deliv-ery between 5-20 May and is in the market for additional June-delivery volumes

ldquo[PTT] has finished procurement for May [and] will now start looking for June [deliver-ies]rdquo a source close to the tender process said

PTT typically limits participation in its ten-ders to parties with which it has previously concluded master sales agreements Winners of 2013 PTT tenders include Qatari supplier Qatargas Francersquos GDF SUEZ UK-based BG Group and Anglo-Dutch major Shell Nor-wayrsquos Statoil Francersquos Total and Russiarsquos Gazprom have also participated in the 2013 tenders Abache Abreu

GSPC increases LNG market participation ahead of MundraIndian natural gas trader Gujarat State Pe-troleum Corporation (GSPC) has stepped up its short-term LNG procurement following the rupture of a 15-year contract it previ-ously held with state-owned importer GAIL

GSPC has been independently looking for cargoes since March and is no longer relying on GAIL for supplies of about eight LNG cargoes per year a source close to the situation has told ICIS

GAIL had previously sought to renegoti-ate the price of its regasified LNG supplies to GSPC on the back of increases in trans-portation tariffs and rising international LNG prices since 2011 ICIS understands

While the Supreme Court of India up-held GAILrsquos right to negotiate prices for gas delivery from 2014 both parties failed to agree on a suitable price arrangement

A document from the Supreme Court in September 2013 revealed ldquoThe fact that no agreement could be reached between GAIL and GSPC regarding the price of gas [means that] the agreement shall stand terminated with effect from 01012014 and the parties hereto shall stand relieved of their obligation under the Agreementrdquo

As a result GSPC has now increased its presence on the LNG market in order to supply downstream customers engaged in power generation steel and city gas distri-bution

The company has taken delivery of a Qatar-sourced spot cargo on 11 April at the Dahej LNG terminal ICIS understands the cargo was delivered at a landed cost in the $1630sMMBtu

The ICIS DES [delivered ex-ship] India price was assessed for the final time for

April delivery at $1645MMBtu on 14 March

GSPC awards Mundra EPC contract GSPC as the developer of what would be the state of Gujaratrsquos third LNG terminal ndash the Mundra regasification project ndash has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project to Japanrsquos Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO) it said in a statement on 14 April

The 5mtpa project on Indiarsquos west coast is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2016

Despite ground work on the terminal moving ahead GSPC has yet to find a part-ner for a 25 stake in the terminal ICIS understands

In December 2013 India Gas Solutions (IGS) ndash the 5050 joint venture of UK-based BP and Indiarsquos Reliance Industries ndash along with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Indian state companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) were all short-listed for the second round of the stake sale

However no decision has been taken as yet on the second round adding to the speculation that the terminal may miss its targeted start-up date in 2016

The state of Gujarat already has two operational LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej with sources in India noting that expansions at the two facilities may leave Mundra a second-best choice for customers in the area

ldquoThe tariffs at Mundra being a green-field project are expected to be higher compared with Dahejrdquo one source said Ranjana KaushalLudovic Aldersley

Greece in talks with infrastructure provider

Greecersquos minister of environment energy and climate change met with floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) provider Golar LNG regarding a planned import terminal in the north of the country the ministry said on 15 April Greecersquos state-owned gas supply com-pany DEPA is progressing plans to have a 3-5 billion cubic metre (bcm)year FSRU by 2017 which the European Commission considers as a project of common interest

The feasibility study and environmental impact study prepared by DEPA are currently in the final stages according to minister Yian-nis Maniatis

ldquoThe importance of the project together with the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) are major pillars of enhancing energy security of the regionrdquo the Ministry said adding its importance is further ldquore-flected by the advanced consultations with governments and companies from Bulgaria and Romaniardquo

Several LNG terminal developments have been proposed across southeast Europe with an eye on the wider regional market

Within Greece DEPArsquos FSRU proposal is one of three projects that includes expansion of the existing 5bcmyear Revithoussa terminal and a separate FSRU proposal from domestic energy conglomerate Copelouzos

ldquoGolar has expressed its interest in full participation in financing the project provid-ing significant flexibility in the implementation of the overall projectrdquo the Greek ministry said

In parallel to the LNG infrastructure projects the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector is scheduled to be sanctioned in mid-2014 ahead of a 2016 start-up with an initial 3bcmyear capacity ICIS understands Ludovic Aldersley

Taipower could extend lifespan of its nuclear power plantsTaiwanese state-owned utility Taipower could apply to extend the lifespan of its three existing nuclear plant fleet if its fourth facil-ity which is still under construction is not brought on line due to public opposition according to a company source

Taipower hopes that the plant ndash which is located in Gongliao district New Taipei City ndash can become operational next year It will be able to generate around 193TWhyear the source said

With Taipowerrsquos existing nuclear power plants heading for decommissioning in the

coming years there is a risk of power short-ages by 2016 he added

The two units of Taipowerrsquos No 1 nuclear plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018 and 2019 respectively while the two units in the second plant will expire in 2021 and 2022 The two units in the third plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024 and 2025 respectively according to Taiwanrsquos Atomic Energy Council

Taipower is considering using alterna-tive sources of energy such as natural gas and coal but feels nuclear energy has

many advantages ldquoIt will be very difficult and expensive to use alternative sources of energy to make up any shortfallrdquo the source said

The price of importing LNG is very expen-sive compared to nuclear power generation Furthermore the amount of LNG that can be imported is also limited by Taiwanrsquos LNG terminal capacity

ldquoWe would need to build additional in-frastructure such as LNG receiving terminals tanks and pipelines if we want to import enough LNG to cover the shortfall of nuclear powerrdquo the source said Hairul Borhan

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS for the daily European Gas Fundamentals report

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

Market reforms are meant to encourage the

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

Chilersquos state copper miner Codelco has taken its first step towards achieving consist-ent LNG supply for its mining operations in the north of the South American country af-ter signing a long-term agreement with com-patriot gas distribution company Metrogas

Metrogas is expected to deliver volumes to the Mejillones terminal in northern Chile from 2016 as part of an extension to a recently announced short-term supply agreement with the worldrsquos largest copper producer multiple Americas-based sources told ICIS

Gas will be sourced by Metrogas through its existing supply contract for the Quintero terminal in central Chile with British portfolio supplier BG Group

Under the amended terms of the supply agreement reached between the parties in 2012 Metrogas is able to divert volumes from Quintero to other Chilean ports

ldquoMetrogas will resell the gas to Codelco The agreement is on a long-term period and

is based on the low price at which Metrogas buys LNG from BG Group and the fact that they can decide between Quintero and Mejil-lonesrdquo a South American source told ICIS

A Metrogas spokesperson declined to comment on the nature of companyrsquos future supply commitments with Codelco when contacted by ICIS A Codelco spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment submitted by ICIS

Although the exact volumes that Metro-gas will send to Codelco are undefined the Santiago-based gas distributor is already un-derstood to have fully allocated its Quintero volumes for 2016 onwards

Existing customers of the distributor will not see contracts up for renewal next year extended as Metrogas looks to guarantee supplies to Codelco one Americas-based source told ICIS

This includes the reallocation of at least two 160000cbm cargoes a year provided to power generators on the countryrsquos ❯❯ Page 13

Codelco eyes long-term Metrogas LNG diversions

BP and Shell to supply Kuwait with third seller in the wingsAnglo-Dutch major Shell and UK-head-quartered BP have signed agreements to supply Kuwait with LNG over a five- to six-year period a Kuwait Petroleum Corp (KPC) official was quoted as saying on 13 April in the local media

Jamal Al-Loughani deputy managing director of marketing operations at KPC told the Kuwaiti daily newspaper Al-Seyassah that three portfolio sellers will supply KPC with a total of about 25mtpa of LNG with deliver-ies expected to be allocated over Kuwaitrsquos peak summer demand season which typically runs from end-March to November

KPC is expected to sign the supply con-tract with a third company by the end of this week Al-Loughani added While the identity

of the third supplier was not revealed Qatar-gas and Russian incumbent Gazprom were both mentioned as potential suppliers by industry sources

Gazprom said on 25 March that it was looking to expand cooperation with Kuwait on LNG The company supplied two spot cargoes to the country in 2011

However a source familiar with the issue said that negotiations between KPC and Gazprom involved deliveries of the proposed Vladivostok project volumes rather than existing mid-term volumes for delivery to a planned Kuwait onshore terminal from 2020 The supplier of mid-term volumes in the interim would be Qatargas according to the source ❯❯ Page 15

June-July demand in focus

Asian markets were back in contango with July at a premium to June amid increasing evidence that the recent reduction in prices in the region may have bottomed out

Prompt supply availability is well balanced globally but is said to have grown stronger in the Atlantic than in the Pacific basin with more flexible volumes emerging from Nigeria and Spain Demand from Brazil meanwhile continues to make it the premium buyer in South America

Brazilrsquos state-owned importer Petrobras was awarded a free-on-board (FOB) Nige-rian cargo for loading on 2 June while other prompt cargoes from west Africa have also been offered and transacted

In the Pacific basin some traders also said they expected imminent offers from the new Papua New Guinea LNG facility Project de-veloper ExxonMobil has said first volumes will be exported by mid-year and once the ramp up is complete one source estimated as many as four or five spot cargoes could be available per month

With Japanese buyers absent from recent buying activity Indian buyers have stepped up short-term procurement Following GSPC ruptured supply contract with GAIL GSPC has become another buyer on the market likely to procure six or seven more cargoes

this year Other Indian companies were heard to be in the market for May-June at prices under $1500MMBtu

In Europe Qatari deliveries into the UK continued to pick up mirroring the trend of 2013 while the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year was concluded at the Montoir termi-nal on Francersquos Atlantic coast

The outgoing ICIS East Asian Index (EAX) for May expired at $1521MMBtu having shed 8 over its period as front month The June index was pegged at just below $1500MMBtu with July at a $020MMBtu premi-um Japanese electricity utilities are expected to come to market to cater for heightened seasonal power generation demand

African volume there ndash Brazil key US-based energy supplier Chevron was heard to be offering at least two cargoes from Nigeria LNG (NLNG) with one available for late-May lifting and another linked to a 21 June loading Portuguese NLNG offtaker Galp is understood to have originally sold FOB cargoes for lifting on 2 June and 21 June to Petrobras and Chevron respectively

Achievable netback values for Nige-rian cargoes are substantially higher for June delivery into South America than into northeast Asia with Brazil still looking like

the most plausible buyer Petrobras however was also heard to have been in discussions for strip deals from BP and Shell to cover the upcoming months which could limit its spot demand

On the other hand there were increased signs that the warming weather pattern El Nino could soon appear The impact on Brazil could be a continuation of the dry weather which has increased the need for LNG be-cause of low hydro-power generation Reser-voir levels remain low across key generating regions

The GDF SUEZ Neptune brought a cargo into the floating storage and regasification unit at Brazilrsquos Guanabara Bay on 13 April ndash the third cargo brought in by the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ

Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS lifted the Seri Bega-wan as a reload from Zeebrugge on 13 April with the vessel due to arrive in Brazil on 30 April This would be the eighth cargo into Brazil in April In May 2013 Petrobras took in 10 cargoes

Argentinean state-buyers ENARSA and YPF could release a tender for June deliveries but no announcement has so far emerged

The LNG demand outlook is more muted from other South American countries Chilersquos Quintero terminal is expecting two spot de-liveries in the second quarter with buyers not expecting to require additional volume over the countryrsquos winter period

The LNG-purchasing GNL consortium is understood to have taken a spot cargo from BG for arrival in May with Shell to deliver another cargo in the first half of June Both cargoes were understood to originate from Trinidad in the low $1600sMMBtu when agreed in late March

No immediate demand is expected from Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE

Japan June demand surfacesThe relative lull in bidding interest from Japan recently has showed some signs of drawing to a close with three utility buyers reportedly bidding in the mid-$1400sMMBtu for June delivery At least four utilities were heard to have tank space but waiting to see if further price falls would come

But with northeast Asian markets show-ing a contango from June into July the delivery window for opportunistic buys is considered finite and closing The July DES price is above $1500MMBtu as power con-sumption across Japanese urban centres is expected to rise in line with seasonal demand for air-conditioning

The Japanese Meteorological Agency said there was a 40 probability of above-normal temperatures between June and August in several key regions of the country which would typically support the need for marginal LNG imports over the period

Visibility on July pricing in key Asian mar-kets was limited however with sellers said to

be holding offers back in case demand more clearly rebounded

In more recent spot ship movements Chinarsquos state owned buyer CNOOC was con-sidered the most likely winner of the recent Angola tender with the 160000cbm Sonan-gol Etosha headed for the CNOOC-controlled Zhejiang Ningbo terminal on 17 April Sources said the cargo was sold in the high $1400sMMBtu but this was not confirmed

Ship data also revealed another spot de-livery into China aboard the Statoil-controlled 155000cbm Arctic Aurora which is due to arrive at delivery an unidentified Chinese port on 18 April

In Japan the PETRONAS-controlled 145000cbm Seri Angkasa was due into the Oita terminal with a Nigeria-sourced cargo on 19 April Regional utility Kysuhu Electric is the main capacity holder at the terminal

Clarity on plant turnarounds The usual shutdown slate is kicking in over the spring period with more to come in the second half of the year However market impact was seen as limited with the loss of volume already factored in

The 33mtpa train two at Atlantic LNG in Trinidad was heard to have gone down for five days from 17 April The third train was reportedly due to undergo maintenance for six days from 1 July with train one also down for six days in August

Norwayrsquos Snohvit will shut down from 2 May to 9 June Two cargoes delivered from the facility into the Dutch Gate terminal were partly acting as storage for Statoil ahead of the shutdown sources said

A trader said the single-train Angola plant had begun 15 days of maintenance at the start of April with a 50-60 day outage planned from July-August

Spain still busy more into UKA further five reloads are planned from Spanish terminals in the second half of April ndash with Cartagena the most active While the push for fresh business appeared to slow down in the run up to the Easter holiday period six reloads are planned for May with an additional one straddling the end of April start of May This is double the number of reloads done last May

The EDFT-controlled 160000cbm Cool Voyager was due into Cartagena on 20 April with the cargo reload said to be due to go to South Korea The FOB reload price has hov-ered in the $1300sMMBtu in recent weeks

In the UK the trend of rising Qatari cargoes into South Hook in April continued in a similar trend to last year A total of five cargoes have already arrived into the Welsh facility with a further two scheduled in by the end of the month This would represent the highest volume intake since last November

Last April South Hook imports also jumped month on month to reach

CNOOC was considered the most likely winner

of the recent Angola tender

Henry HubNBP

939000 tonnes from Qatar in line with the end of the winter demand profile in north-east Asia NBP prices currently represent one of the lowest netback values with the front month at more than a three-year low ndash in part as a result of the increase in LNG arrivals But the liquidity of the hub and availability of buyers is still a useful flexible tool for spare cargoes

First 2014 STS transfer at MontoirThe French Montoir LNG facility carried out the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year on 12 April on two GDF SUEZ vessels Snohvit-sourced LNG was transferred over a period of two days from the 177000cbm Grace Dahlia to the 150000cbm Grace Barleria The latter was likely to head to South Korea to either of the countryrsquos independent importers GS Caltex or SK EampS a source said

Surge in shipping activityMore than 10 LNG carriers have been chartered in the last three weeks according to shipping sources with a growing discrepancy in rates in the Atlantic and the Pacific Ship owners have been more willing to renegotiate on re-delivery terms while keeping charter rates above $60000day for dual fuel diesel electric (DFDE) ships and in the $50000sday for steam turbine propulsion ships GDF SUEZ EDFT and Trafigura were all heard to have chartered 2013-built DFDE vessels

Canadian Triton LNG receives regulatory export licence Calgary-based AltaGas and its Japanese refining partner Idemitsu have received a 25-year export licence from Canadian energy regulators for their joint small-scale LNG ex-port project

The proposed venture which would either be located near Kitimat or Prince Rupert in British Columbia envisages a floating lique-faction storage and offloading (FLSO) vessel which would include two liquefaction trains

Known as Triton LNG the project received approval to export 23mtpa on 16 April from Canadarsquos National Energy Board (NEB) as well as an additional 15 annual tolerance as per Canadian export standards

ldquoWe have determined that the quantity of gas proposed to be exported by Triton LNG is surplus to Canadian needs The board is satis-fied that the gas resource base in Canada as well as North America is large and can ac-commodate reasonably foreseeable Canadian demand the proposed LNG exports and a plausible potential increase in demandrdquo the NEB order stated

Given the abundance of shale gas in North America the US is no longer importing Cana-dian gas which has stranded the countryrsquos gas reserves and spurred LNG export projects to be developed along the west coast of British Columbia

The Western Canadian export projects are targeting premium northeast Asian markets and Asian companies such as Idemitsu have partnered directly with project proponents through equity and offtake agreements in order to help commercialise the gas

However the Canadian liquefaction ventures and associated pipelines which are developed at a greenfield cost have stalled in reaching final investment because of the cost uncertainties associated with developing in such a rugged and remote environment

Canadarsquos provincial government officials and regulatory authorities have viewed themselves as backers of the LNG industry promoting the country as a desirable location to develop large energy infrastructure projects such as LNG exports

The next project awaiting its export licence is Goldboro LNG a scheme developed by Pieri-dae Energy in Guysborough Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada The 10mpta project has a 5mpta agreement in place with German utility EON on a European hub-indexation The project seeks to supply the LNG by requesting a flow reversal on the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline that runs from Canada to the US

The gap between the NEBrsquos last approval ndash on 16 December 2013 ndash and the Triton LNG approval on 16 April perhaps signals a more cautious approach by the government

While not as lengthy as the time that it took for the US Freeport LNG project to receive its long-awaited non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export licence from the US Depart-ment of Energy (DOE) the four-month pause between the Canadian projects has been the longest time period yet between approvals

In the interim the NEB also approved a 25-year application in February for a US pro-ject proposed on the west coast the planned 6mpta Jordan Cove venture developed by Cal-gary-based infrastructure company Veresen The Jordan Cove scheme proposes importing Canadian pipeline gas into the US and then bringing the volumes to the greenfield site in southwest Oregon to export as LNG

Triton LNG is the ninth project with a Cana-dian export licence

The NEB approved a batch of four projects in December 2013 These included BG Grouprsquos Prince Rupert facility Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest the ExxonMobil-Imperial Oil venture WCC and the Woodfibre LNG export project developed by the Singa-pore energy company Pacific Oil amp Gas

Royal Dutch Shell is leading a consortium with Chinarsquos PetroChina Japanese trading company Mitsubishi and Korearsquos KOGAS for a planned 12mtpa facility in Kitimat

The first Canadian project to receive its ex-port licence was in October 2011 the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG project which is now being jointly marketed by US-based producer Chevron and exploration and production com-pany Apache Corporation Ruth Liao

GIIGNL corrects annual reportA mid-term agreement between the An-gola LNG consortium and Brazilrsquos state-run Petrobras in the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL) report published on 8 April was incorrect according to the organi-sation The initial report stated that the two companies reached an agreement in 2013 for

400000 tonnes per annum on a four-year basis on delivered ex-ship (DES) terms

The information was considered incor-rectly documented as a wrong assumption and GIIGNL has since reissued a final report on its website removing the contract infor-mation Ruth Liao

Russia aims to finalise gas talks with China by MayRussiarsquos incumbent producer Gazprom hopes to finalise a 30-year gas agreement to supply China prior to President Vladimir Pu-tinrsquos approaching visit Arkady Dvorkovich Russiarsquos deputy prime minister said on 14 April as quoted by the Russian media

ldquoOn gas the talks are nearing a close and there is a mutual intention to finish this work before the Russian presidentrsquos visit in Mayrdquo Dvorkovich said during a televised government meeting

ldquoConsultations are ongoing and Gazpromrsquos management are holding talks with Chinese partners on the contract terms We hope to conclude the contract in May and believe it should come into effect by the year endrdquo Dvorkovich said

The agreement would involve the export of 38 billion cubic metres (bcm)year of pipe-line gas starting in 2018

Volumes could be ramped up to 70bcmyear over the course of 30 years The framework agreement between Gazprom and government-controlled China National Petroleum Corporation was signed back in 2009

Negotiations have taken place over the course of the last 10 years with pricing seen as the main roadblock to reaching the agree-ment

However with growing political tensions over Russiarsquos involvement in Ukrainersquos crisis and the subsequent annexation of Crimea China could have gained a bargaining ad-vantage with the potential increasing isola-tion of Russia from western gas markets

Russia has been actively seeking alterna-tive markets in Asia to export gas either through pipeline from fields mainly in Si-beria and the Russian Far East or as LNG to decrease dependence on European imports Russia has few exports markets for gas out-side Europe

lsquoEconomic sanctions from the EU cou-pled with potential competition of shale gas exports from the US ndash as LNG or shale gas develops in Europe ndash could mean a diminish-ing market for Russian gas

As a result Russian export strategy has become mainly Asia-oriented with the po-tential development of several LNG projects including Vladivostok and the expansion of the Sakhalin-2 LNG project with another train

China needs gas to satisfy its growing energy needs as well as to replace coal-fired power generation in densely populated parts of the country Roman Kazmin

Japanrsquos energy plan warns about LNG dependenceJapanrsquos cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sources of power generation and relegates LNG to an inter-mediate load source status according to the plan released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) on 11 April The energy plan which lays out the countryrsquos energy policies for the next 20 years warned about the need to avoid exces-sive reliance on high-priced LNG imports as a substitution for nuclear power generation but did not include any numerical targets for the countryrsquos long-term energy mix

ldquoJapan should avoid excessive depen-dence on LNG as a source of power genera-tion and promote cost reductions by diversify-ing its supply sourcesrdquo the plan said

The plan suggests a number of actions that can be taken at the corporate and in-stitutional levels to reduce the cost of LNG imports such as diversifying contract price indexations eliminating destination restric-tions increasing investment in upstream developments and supporting joint procure-ment agreements to increase buyersrsquo bar-gaining power

ldquoIt is necessary to continue to support strategic efforts towards joint procurementrdquo the plan said

The plan anticipates that US shale gas exports will have a positive impact on the Japanese and global markets from 2017 as these contracts will be linked to the US Henry Hub gas benchmark and will not include a destination restriction clause which means offtakers will be able to trade volumes inter-nationally

ldquoUS LNG will contribute not only to the improvement of the global trading environ-ment but also to the creation of an LNG futures marketrdquo the plan said

Fourth planJapanrsquos energy plan which was drafted in December 2013 but only released by METI for cabinet approval on 18 March is the countryrsquos fourth basic energy plan and the first one formulated since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Since then Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90

The plan highlights the key role that coal and nuclear power sources are expected to play in the countryrsquos energy mix (For more on this see the Focus on Japan)

The plan re-evaluated the key role that nuclear power is to play in the countryrsquos en-ergy mix and states that Japan will proceed to

restart those nuclear reactors that have suc-cessfully passed the safety assessments by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) and have received approval by the local governments

This reverses the previous Democratic Party of Japan governmentrsquos decision to phase out nuclear power generation by 2040 in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster

Nuclear energy remains an efficient abundant and stable source of power sup-ply which can be domestically produced at relatively low operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions the plan said The priority lies in ensuring the safety of the nuclear power plants it added

Power market liberalisation by 2020The plan highlighted the importance of reforms aimed at liberalising the downstream power markets The full liberalisation of the downstream power generation and retail markets are being advanced through three stages with completion of stage three expected in 2020 the plan said

ldquoBy promoting legal neutrality in the power transmission and distribution sector we will tackle limitations in the conventional power system and increase investment in the power distribution networkrdquo the plan said Abache Abreu

Thailandrsquos PTT in talks for up to 1mtpa of long-term supply from BP

Thailandrsquos state-owned buyer PTT is in discussions with UK-headquartered oil and gas major BP for the long-term supply of up to 1mtpa of LNG on a delivered ex ship (DES) basis starting from 2015 a PTT company offi-cial said in a telephone interview on 11 April

ldquoWe are in discussions with many suppli-ers to make sure we have the best deal for the best interest of the countryrdquo said Nutta-chat Charuchinda chief operations officer of PTTrsquos downstream petroleum business group

ldquoWe would like to see the best options that are available to us [hellip] a basket of supply to make sure that we have security of supply at the best pricerdquo he said

PTT is open to different sources of supply and price indexationsldquo whether it is linked to crude oil JCC [Japanese Crude Cocktail] or Henry Hubrdquo Charuchinda said

Additional contractual agreements are sought in response to PTTrsquos own energy forecasts which foresee a rise in Thailandrsquos domestic energy consumption and an in-crease in the share natural gas holds in the countryrsquos energy mix in relation to coal and nuclear power generation On the other hand the countryrsquos energy reserves are fast dwindling according to PTT while pipeline gas imports from neighbouring countries are increasingly limited

PTT has so far signed two long-term agreements for a total supply of 46mtpa by 2020 In December 2012 PTT signed its first long-term LNG contract with Qatargas for the supply of 2mpta of LNG for 20 years start-ing in 2015 In December 2013 PTT signed a preliminary deal with US-based Anadarko Petroleum for the procurement of 26mpta from Mozambique starting from 2018-2019

Additional 1mtpa might be enoughIn the long term PTT might be interested in securing additional supply from North America or east Africa but having secured 46mtpa under long-term contracts an additional 1mtpa supply might be sufficient to meet the Thai buyerrsquos mid-term demand requirements a Singapore-based analyst said

ldquoPTT has realised they need more LNG but with almost 5mtpa in contracts and an additional 1mtpa under discussion they might wait and see before they start buying againrdquo said Tony Regan an analyst at Singa-pore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoPTT could be cautious and assume they might not be able to get more gas from Myanmar domestic reserves are declining and there is little potential for that to recoverrdquo he said ldquoBut I think they will wait Otherwise they are going to see prices firming because

of all this buying activity Also they have been relatively slow to develop their domestic market for regasified LNG There is a huge industry nearby but it is taking them time to secure contracts with offtakers and arrange truck lifting from the terminalrdquo

Spot procurement set to continueWhile PTT aims to meet most of its demand requirements through long-term contracts the Thai buyer will continue to supplement any shortages through spot LNG purchases

ldquoWe cannot commit [wholly] to term supply Some spot supply [will continue]rdquo Charuchinda said The company recently awarded a single-cargo buy tender for deliv-ery between 5-20 May and is in the market for additional June-delivery volumes

ldquo[PTT] has finished procurement for May [and] will now start looking for June [deliver-ies]rdquo a source close to the tender process said

PTT typically limits participation in its ten-ders to parties with which it has previously concluded master sales agreements Winners of 2013 PTT tenders include Qatari supplier Qatargas Francersquos GDF SUEZ UK-based BG Group and Anglo-Dutch major Shell Nor-wayrsquos Statoil Francersquos Total and Russiarsquos Gazprom have also participated in the 2013 tenders Abache Abreu

GSPC increases LNG market participation ahead of MundraIndian natural gas trader Gujarat State Pe-troleum Corporation (GSPC) has stepped up its short-term LNG procurement following the rupture of a 15-year contract it previ-ously held with state-owned importer GAIL

GSPC has been independently looking for cargoes since March and is no longer relying on GAIL for supplies of about eight LNG cargoes per year a source close to the situation has told ICIS

GAIL had previously sought to renegoti-ate the price of its regasified LNG supplies to GSPC on the back of increases in trans-portation tariffs and rising international LNG prices since 2011 ICIS understands

While the Supreme Court of India up-held GAILrsquos right to negotiate prices for gas delivery from 2014 both parties failed to agree on a suitable price arrangement

A document from the Supreme Court in September 2013 revealed ldquoThe fact that no agreement could be reached between GAIL and GSPC regarding the price of gas [means that] the agreement shall stand terminated with effect from 01012014 and the parties hereto shall stand relieved of their obligation under the Agreementrdquo

As a result GSPC has now increased its presence on the LNG market in order to supply downstream customers engaged in power generation steel and city gas distri-bution

The company has taken delivery of a Qatar-sourced spot cargo on 11 April at the Dahej LNG terminal ICIS understands the cargo was delivered at a landed cost in the $1630sMMBtu

The ICIS DES [delivered ex-ship] India price was assessed for the final time for

April delivery at $1645MMBtu on 14 March

GSPC awards Mundra EPC contract GSPC as the developer of what would be the state of Gujaratrsquos third LNG terminal ndash the Mundra regasification project ndash has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project to Japanrsquos Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO) it said in a statement on 14 April

The 5mtpa project on Indiarsquos west coast is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2016

Despite ground work on the terminal moving ahead GSPC has yet to find a part-ner for a 25 stake in the terminal ICIS understands

In December 2013 India Gas Solutions (IGS) ndash the 5050 joint venture of UK-based BP and Indiarsquos Reliance Industries ndash along with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Indian state companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) were all short-listed for the second round of the stake sale

However no decision has been taken as yet on the second round adding to the speculation that the terminal may miss its targeted start-up date in 2016

The state of Gujarat already has two operational LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej with sources in India noting that expansions at the two facilities may leave Mundra a second-best choice for customers in the area

ldquoThe tariffs at Mundra being a green-field project are expected to be higher compared with Dahejrdquo one source said Ranjana KaushalLudovic Aldersley

Greece in talks with infrastructure provider

Greecersquos minister of environment energy and climate change met with floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) provider Golar LNG regarding a planned import terminal in the north of the country the ministry said on 15 April Greecersquos state-owned gas supply com-pany DEPA is progressing plans to have a 3-5 billion cubic metre (bcm)year FSRU by 2017 which the European Commission considers as a project of common interest

The feasibility study and environmental impact study prepared by DEPA are currently in the final stages according to minister Yian-nis Maniatis

ldquoThe importance of the project together with the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) are major pillars of enhancing energy security of the regionrdquo the Ministry said adding its importance is further ldquore-flected by the advanced consultations with governments and companies from Bulgaria and Romaniardquo

Several LNG terminal developments have been proposed across southeast Europe with an eye on the wider regional market

Within Greece DEPArsquos FSRU proposal is one of three projects that includes expansion of the existing 5bcmyear Revithoussa terminal and a separate FSRU proposal from domestic energy conglomerate Copelouzos

ldquoGolar has expressed its interest in full participation in financing the project provid-ing significant flexibility in the implementation of the overall projectrdquo the Greek ministry said

In parallel to the LNG infrastructure projects the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector is scheduled to be sanctioned in mid-2014 ahead of a 2016 start-up with an initial 3bcmyear capacity ICIS understands Ludovic Aldersley

Taipower could extend lifespan of its nuclear power plantsTaiwanese state-owned utility Taipower could apply to extend the lifespan of its three existing nuclear plant fleet if its fourth facil-ity which is still under construction is not brought on line due to public opposition according to a company source

Taipower hopes that the plant ndash which is located in Gongliao district New Taipei City ndash can become operational next year It will be able to generate around 193TWhyear the source said

With Taipowerrsquos existing nuclear power plants heading for decommissioning in the

coming years there is a risk of power short-ages by 2016 he added

The two units of Taipowerrsquos No 1 nuclear plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018 and 2019 respectively while the two units in the second plant will expire in 2021 and 2022 The two units in the third plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024 and 2025 respectively according to Taiwanrsquos Atomic Energy Council

Taipower is considering using alterna-tive sources of energy such as natural gas and coal but feels nuclear energy has

many advantages ldquoIt will be very difficult and expensive to use alternative sources of energy to make up any shortfallrdquo the source said

The price of importing LNG is very expen-sive compared to nuclear power generation Furthermore the amount of LNG that can be imported is also limited by Taiwanrsquos LNG terminal capacity

ldquoWe would need to build additional in-frastructure such as LNG receiving terminals tanks and pipelines if we want to import enough LNG to cover the shortfall of nuclear powerrdquo the source said Hairul Borhan

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

Petrobras was heard to have been awarded

Evidence of buying interest in northeast Asia for June and July was more apparent this week as the focus on upcoming demand intensified Availability was greater in the Atlantic with Brazil the most likely buyer

June-July demand in focus

Asian markets were back in contango with July at a premium to June amid increasing evidence that the recent reduction in prices in the region may have bottomed out

Prompt supply availability is well balanced globally but is said to have grown stronger in the Atlantic than in the Pacific basin with more flexible volumes emerging from Nigeria and Spain Demand from Brazil meanwhile continues to make it the premium buyer in South America

Brazilrsquos state-owned importer Petrobras was awarded a free-on-board (FOB) Nige-rian cargo for loading on 2 June while other prompt cargoes from west Africa have also been offered and transacted

In the Pacific basin some traders also said they expected imminent offers from the new Papua New Guinea LNG facility Project de-veloper ExxonMobil has said first volumes will be exported by mid-year and once the ramp up is complete one source estimated as many as four or five spot cargoes could be available per month

With Japanese buyers absent from recent buying activity Indian buyers have stepped up short-term procurement Following GSPC ruptured supply contract with GAIL GSPC has become another buyer on the market likely to procure six or seven more cargoes

this year Other Indian companies were heard to be in the market for May-June at prices under $1500MMBtu

In Europe Qatari deliveries into the UK continued to pick up mirroring the trend of 2013 while the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year was concluded at the Montoir termi-nal on Francersquos Atlantic coast

The outgoing ICIS East Asian Index (EAX) for May expired at $1521MMBtu having shed 8 over its period as front month The June index was pegged at just below $1500MMBtu with July at a $020MMBtu premi-um Japanese electricity utilities are expected to come to market to cater for heightened seasonal power generation demand

African volume there ndash Brazil key US-based energy supplier Chevron was heard to be offering at least two cargoes from Nigeria LNG (NLNG) with one available for late-May lifting and another linked to a 21 June loading Portuguese NLNG offtaker Galp is understood to have originally sold FOB cargoes for lifting on 2 June and 21 June to Petrobras and Chevron respectively

Achievable netback values for Nige-rian cargoes are substantially higher for June delivery into South America than into northeast Asia with Brazil still looking like

the most plausible buyer Petrobras however was also heard to have been in discussions for strip deals from BP and Shell to cover the upcoming months which could limit its spot demand

On the other hand there were increased signs that the warming weather pattern El Nino could soon appear The impact on Brazil could be a continuation of the dry weather which has increased the need for LNG be-cause of low hydro-power generation Reser-voir levels remain low across key generating regions

The GDF SUEZ Neptune brought a cargo into the floating storage and regasification unit at Brazilrsquos Guanabara Bay on 13 April ndash the third cargo brought in by the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ

Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS lifted the Seri Bega-wan as a reload from Zeebrugge on 13 April with the vessel due to arrive in Brazil on 30 April This would be the eighth cargo into Brazil in April In May 2013 Petrobras took in 10 cargoes

Argentinean state-buyers ENARSA and YPF could release a tender for June deliveries but no announcement has so far emerged

The LNG demand outlook is more muted from other South American countries Chilersquos Quintero terminal is expecting two spot de-liveries in the second quarter with buyers not expecting to require additional volume over the countryrsquos winter period

The LNG-purchasing GNL consortium is understood to have taken a spot cargo from BG for arrival in May with Shell to deliver another cargo in the first half of June Both cargoes were understood to originate from Trinidad in the low $1600sMMBtu when agreed in late March

No immediate demand is expected from Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE

Japan June demand surfacesThe relative lull in bidding interest from Japan recently has showed some signs of drawing to a close with three utility buyers reportedly bidding in the mid-$1400sMMBtu for June delivery At least four utilities were heard to have tank space but waiting to see if further price falls would come

But with northeast Asian markets show-ing a contango from June into July the delivery window for opportunistic buys is considered finite and closing The July DES price is above $1500MMBtu as power con-sumption across Japanese urban centres is expected to rise in line with seasonal demand for air-conditioning

The Japanese Meteorological Agency said there was a 40 probability of above-normal temperatures between June and August in several key regions of the country which would typically support the need for marginal LNG imports over the period

Visibility on July pricing in key Asian mar-kets was limited however with sellers said to

be holding offers back in case demand more clearly rebounded

In more recent spot ship movements Chinarsquos state owned buyer CNOOC was con-sidered the most likely winner of the recent Angola tender with the 160000cbm Sonan-gol Etosha headed for the CNOOC-controlled Zhejiang Ningbo terminal on 17 April Sources said the cargo was sold in the high $1400sMMBtu but this was not confirmed

Ship data also revealed another spot de-livery into China aboard the Statoil-controlled 155000cbm Arctic Aurora which is due to arrive at delivery an unidentified Chinese port on 18 April

In Japan the PETRONAS-controlled 145000cbm Seri Angkasa was due into the Oita terminal with a Nigeria-sourced cargo on 19 April Regional utility Kysuhu Electric is the main capacity holder at the terminal

Clarity on plant turnarounds The usual shutdown slate is kicking in over the spring period with more to come in the second half of the year However market impact was seen as limited with the loss of volume already factored in

The 33mtpa train two at Atlantic LNG in Trinidad was heard to have gone down for five days from 17 April The third train was reportedly due to undergo maintenance for six days from 1 July with train one also down for six days in August

Norwayrsquos Snohvit will shut down from 2 May to 9 June Two cargoes delivered from the facility into the Dutch Gate terminal were partly acting as storage for Statoil ahead of the shutdown sources said

A trader said the single-train Angola plant had begun 15 days of maintenance at the start of April with a 50-60 day outage planned from July-August

Spain still busy more into UKA further five reloads are planned from Spanish terminals in the second half of April ndash with Cartagena the most active While the push for fresh business appeared to slow down in the run up to the Easter holiday period six reloads are planned for May with an additional one straddling the end of April start of May This is double the number of reloads done last May

The EDFT-controlled 160000cbm Cool Voyager was due into Cartagena on 20 April with the cargo reload said to be due to go to South Korea The FOB reload price has hov-ered in the $1300sMMBtu in recent weeks

In the UK the trend of rising Qatari cargoes into South Hook in April continued in a similar trend to last year A total of five cargoes have already arrived into the Welsh facility with a further two scheduled in by the end of the month This would represent the highest volume intake since last November

Last April South Hook imports also jumped month on month to reach

CNOOC was considered the most likely winner

of the recent Angola tender

939000 tonnes from Qatar in line with the end of the winter demand profile in north-east Asia NBP prices currently represent one of the lowest netback values with the front month at more than a three-year low ndash in part as a result of the increase in LNG arrivals But the liquidity of the hub and availability of buyers is still a useful flexible tool for spare cargoes

First 2014 STS transfer at MontoirThe French Montoir LNG facility carried out the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year on 12 April on two GDF SUEZ vessels Snohvit-sourced LNG was transferred over a period of two days from the 177000cbm Grace Dahlia to the 150000cbm Grace Barleria The latter was likely to head to South Korea to either of the countryrsquos independent importers GS Caltex or SK EampS a source said

Surge in shipping activityMore than 10 LNG carriers have been chartered in the last three weeks according to shipping sources with a growing discrepancy in rates in the Atlantic and the Pacific Ship owners have been more willing to renegotiate on re-delivery terms while keeping charter rates above $60000day for dual fuel diesel electric (DFDE) ships and in the $50000sday for steam turbine propulsion ships GDF SUEZ EDFT and Trafigura were all heard to have chartered 2013-built DFDE vessels

Canadian Triton LNG receives regulatory export licence Calgary-based AltaGas and its Japanese refining partner Idemitsu have received a 25-year export licence from Canadian energy regulators for their joint small-scale LNG ex-port project

The proposed venture which would either be located near Kitimat or Prince Rupert in British Columbia envisages a floating lique-faction storage and offloading (FLSO) vessel which would include two liquefaction trains

Known as Triton LNG the project received approval to export 23mtpa on 16 April from Canadarsquos National Energy Board (NEB) as well as an additional 15 annual tolerance as per Canadian export standards

ldquoWe have determined that the quantity of gas proposed to be exported by Triton LNG is surplus to Canadian needs The board is satis-fied that the gas resource base in Canada as well as North America is large and can ac-commodate reasonably foreseeable Canadian demand the proposed LNG exports and a plausible potential increase in demandrdquo the NEB order stated

Given the abundance of shale gas in North America the US is no longer importing Cana-dian gas which has stranded the countryrsquos gas reserves and spurred LNG export projects to be developed along the west coast of British Columbia

The Western Canadian export projects are targeting premium northeast Asian markets and Asian companies such as Idemitsu have partnered directly with project proponents through equity and offtake agreements in order to help commercialise the gas

However the Canadian liquefaction ventures and associated pipelines which are developed at a greenfield cost have stalled in reaching final investment because of the cost uncertainties associated with developing in such a rugged and remote environment

Canadarsquos provincial government officials and regulatory authorities have viewed themselves as backers of the LNG industry promoting the country as a desirable location to develop large energy infrastructure projects such as LNG exports

The next project awaiting its export licence is Goldboro LNG a scheme developed by Pieri-dae Energy in Guysborough Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada The 10mpta project has a 5mpta agreement in place with German utility EON on a European hub-indexation The project seeks to supply the LNG by requesting a flow reversal on the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline that runs from Canada to the US

The gap between the NEBrsquos last approval ndash on 16 December 2013 ndash and the Triton LNG approval on 16 April perhaps signals a more cautious approach by the government

While not as lengthy as the time that it took for the US Freeport LNG project to receive its long-awaited non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export licence from the US Depart-ment of Energy (DOE) the four-month pause between the Canadian projects has been the longest time period yet between approvals

In the interim the NEB also approved a 25-year application in February for a US pro-ject proposed on the west coast the planned 6mpta Jordan Cove venture developed by Cal-gary-based infrastructure company Veresen The Jordan Cove scheme proposes importing Canadian pipeline gas into the US and then bringing the volumes to the greenfield site in southwest Oregon to export as LNG

Triton LNG is the ninth project with a Cana-dian export licence

The NEB approved a batch of four projects in December 2013 These included BG Grouprsquos Prince Rupert facility Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest the ExxonMobil-Imperial Oil venture WCC and the Woodfibre LNG export project developed by the Singa-pore energy company Pacific Oil amp Gas

Royal Dutch Shell is leading a consortium with Chinarsquos PetroChina Japanese trading company Mitsubishi and Korearsquos KOGAS for a planned 12mtpa facility in Kitimat

The first Canadian project to receive its ex-port licence was in October 2011 the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG project which is now being jointly marketed by US-based producer Chevron and exploration and production com-pany Apache Corporation Ruth Liao

GIIGNL corrects annual reportA mid-term agreement between the An-gola LNG consortium and Brazilrsquos state-run Petrobras in the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL) report published on 8 April was incorrect according to the organi-sation The initial report stated that the two companies reached an agreement in 2013 for

400000 tonnes per annum on a four-year basis on delivered ex-ship (DES) terms

The information was considered incor-rectly documented as a wrong assumption and GIIGNL has since reissued a final report on its website removing the contract infor-mation Ruth Liao

Russia aims to finalise gas talks with China by MayRussiarsquos incumbent producer Gazprom hopes to finalise a 30-year gas agreement to supply China prior to President Vladimir Pu-tinrsquos approaching visit Arkady Dvorkovich Russiarsquos deputy prime minister said on 14 April as quoted by the Russian media

ldquoOn gas the talks are nearing a close and there is a mutual intention to finish this work before the Russian presidentrsquos visit in Mayrdquo Dvorkovich said during a televised government meeting

ldquoConsultations are ongoing and Gazpromrsquos management are holding talks with Chinese partners on the contract terms We hope to conclude the contract in May and believe it should come into effect by the year endrdquo Dvorkovich said

The agreement would involve the export of 38 billion cubic metres (bcm)year of pipe-line gas starting in 2018

Volumes could be ramped up to 70bcmyear over the course of 30 years The framework agreement between Gazprom and government-controlled China National Petroleum Corporation was signed back in 2009

Negotiations have taken place over the course of the last 10 years with pricing seen as the main roadblock to reaching the agree-ment

However with growing political tensions over Russiarsquos involvement in Ukrainersquos crisis and the subsequent annexation of Crimea China could have gained a bargaining ad-vantage with the potential increasing isola-tion of Russia from western gas markets

Russia has been actively seeking alterna-tive markets in Asia to export gas either through pipeline from fields mainly in Si-beria and the Russian Far East or as LNG to decrease dependence on European imports Russia has few exports markets for gas out-side Europe

lsquoEconomic sanctions from the EU cou-pled with potential competition of shale gas exports from the US ndash as LNG or shale gas develops in Europe ndash could mean a diminish-ing market for Russian gas

As a result Russian export strategy has become mainly Asia-oriented with the po-tential development of several LNG projects including Vladivostok and the expansion of the Sakhalin-2 LNG project with another train

China needs gas to satisfy its growing energy needs as well as to replace coal-fired power generation in densely populated parts of the country Roman Kazmin

Japanrsquos energy plan warns about LNG dependenceJapanrsquos cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sources of power generation and relegates LNG to an inter-mediate load source status according to the plan released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) on 11 April The energy plan which lays out the countryrsquos energy policies for the next 20 years warned about the need to avoid exces-sive reliance on high-priced LNG imports as a substitution for nuclear power generation but did not include any numerical targets for the countryrsquos long-term energy mix

ldquoJapan should avoid excessive depen-dence on LNG as a source of power genera-tion and promote cost reductions by diversify-ing its supply sourcesrdquo the plan said

The plan suggests a number of actions that can be taken at the corporate and in-stitutional levels to reduce the cost of LNG imports such as diversifying contract price indexations eliminating destination restric-tions increasing investment in upstream developments and supporting joint procure-ment agreements to increase buyersrsquo bar-gaining power

ldquoIt is necessary to continue to support strategic efforts towards joint procurementrdquo the plan said

The plan anticipates that US shale gas exports will have a positive impact on the Japanese and global markets from 2017 as these contracts will be linked to the US Henry Hub gas benchmark and will not include a destination restriction clause which means offtakers will be able to trade volumes inter-nationally

ldquoUS LNG will contribute not only to the improvement of the global trading environ-ment but also to the creation of an LNG futures marketrdquo the plan said

Fourth planJapanrsquos energy plan which was drafted in December 2013 but only released by METI for cabinet approval on 18 March is the countryrsquos fourth basic energy plan and the first one formulated since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Since then Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90

The plan highlights the key role that coal and nuclear power sources are expected to play in the countryrsquos energy mix (For more on this see the Focus on Japan)

The plan re-evaluated the key role that nuclear power is to play in the countryrsquos en-ergy mix and states that Japan will proceed to

restart those nuclear reactors that have suc-cessfully passed the safety assessments by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) and have received approval by the local governments

This reverses the previous Democratic Party of Japan governmentrsquos decision to phase out nuclear power generation by 2040 in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster

Nuclear energy remains an efficient abundant and stable source of power sup-ply which can be domestically produced at relatively low operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions the plan said The priority lies in ensuring the safety of the nuclear power plants it added

Power market liberalisation by 2020The plan highlighted the importance of reforms aimed at liberalising the downstream power markets The full liberalisation of the downstream power generation and retail markets are being advanced through three stages with completion of stage three expected in 2020 the plan said

ldquoBy promoting legal neutrality in the power transmission and distribution sector we will tackle limitations in the conventional power system and increase investment in the power distribution networkrdquo the plan said Abache Abreu

Thailandrsquos PTT in talks for up to 1mtpa of long-term supply from BP

Thailandrsquos state-owned buyer PTT is in discussions with UK-headquartered oil and gas major BP for the long-term supply of up to 1mtpa of LNG on a delivered ex ship (DES) basis starting from 2015 a PTT company offi-cial said in a telephone interview on 11 April

ldquoWe are in discussions with many suppli-ers to make sure we have the best deal for the best interest of the countryrdquo said Nutta-chat Charuchinda chief operations officer of PTTrsquos downstream petroleum business group

ldquoWe would like to see the best options that are available to us [hellip] a basket of supply to make sure that we have security of supply at the best pricerdquo he said

PTT is open to different sources of supply and price indexationsldquo whether it is linked to crude oil JCC [Japanese Crude Cocktail] or Henry Hubrdquo Charuchinda said

Additional contractual agreements are sought in response to PTTrsquos own energy forecasts which foresee a rise in Thailandrsquos domestic energy consumption and an in-crease in the share natural gas holds in the countryrsquos energy mix in relation to coal and nuclear power generation On the other hand the countryrsquos energy reserves are fast dwindling according to PTT while pipeline gas imports from neighbouring countries are increasingly limited

PTT has so far signed two long-term agreements for a total supply of 46mtpa by 2020 In December 2012 PTT signed its first long-term LNG contract with Qatargas for the supply of 2mpta of LNG for 20 years start-ing in 2015 In December 2013 PTT signed a preliminary deal with US-based Anadarko Petroleum for the procurement of 26mpta from Mozambique starting from 2018-2019

Additional 1mtpa might be enoughIn the long term PTT might be interested in securing additional supply from North America or east Africa but having secured 46mtpa under long-term contracts an additional 1mtpa supply might be sufficient to meet the Thai buyerrsquos mid-term demand requirements a Singapore-based analyst said

ldquoPTT has realised they need more LNG but with almost 5mtpa in contracts and an additional 1mtpa under discussion they might wait and see before they start buying againrdquo said Tony Regan an analyst at Singa-pore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoPTT could be cautious and assume they might not be able to get more gas from Myanmar domestic reserves are declining and there is little potential for that to recoverrdquo he said ldquoBut I think they will wait Otherwise they are going to see prices firming because

of all this buying activity Also they have been relatively slow to develop their domestic market for regasified LNG There is a huge industry nearby but it is taking them time to secure contracts with offtakers and arrange truck lifting from the terminalrdquo

Spot procurement set to continueWhile PTT aims to meet most of its demand requirements through long-term contracts the Thai buyer will continue to supplement any shortages through spot LNG purchases

ldquoWe cannot commit [wholly] to term supply Some spot supply [will continue]rdquo Charuchinda said The company recently awarded a single-cargo buy tender for deliv-ery between 5-20 May and is in the market for additional June-delivery volumes

ldquo[PTT] has finished procurement for May [and] will now start looking for June [deliver-ies]rdquo a source close to the tender process said

PTT typically limits participation in its ten-ders to parties with which it has previously concluded master sales agreements Winners of 2013 PTT tenders include Qatari supplier Qatargas Francersquos GDF SUEZ UK-based BG Group and Anglo-Dutch major Shell Nor-wayrsquos Statoil Francersquos Total and Russiarsquos Gazprom have also participated in the 2013 tenders Abache Abreu

GSPC increases LNG market participation ahead of MundraIndian natural gas trader Gujarat State Pe-troleum Corporation (GSPC) has stepped up its short-term LNG procurement following the rupture of a 15-year contract it previ-ously held with state-owned importer GAIL

GSPC has been independently looking for cargoes since March and is no longer relying on GAIL for supplies of about eight LNG cargoes per year a source close to the situation has told ICIS

GAIL had previously sought to renegoti-ate the price of its regasified LNG supplies to GSPC on the back of increases in trans-portation tariffs and rising international LNG prices since 2011 ICIS understands

While the Supreme Court of India up-held GAILrsquos right to negotiate prices for gas delivery from 2014 both parties failed to agree on a suitable price arrangement

A document from the Supreme Court in September 2013 revealed ldquoThe fact that no agreement could be reached between GAIL and GSPC regarding the price of gas [means that] the agreement shall stand terminated with effect from 01012014 and the parties hereto shall stand relieved of their obligation under the Agreementrdquo

As a result GSPC has now increased its presence on the LNG market in order to supply downstream customers engaged in power generation steel and city gas distri-bution

The company has taken delivery of a Qatar-sourced spot cargo on 11 April at the Dahej LNG terminal ICIS understands the cargo was delivered at a landed cost in the $1630sMMBtu

The ICIS DES [delivered ex-ship] India price was assessed for the final time for

April delivery at $1645MMBtu on 14 March

GSPC awards Mundra EPC contract GSPC as the developer of what would be the state of Gujaratrsquos third LNG terminal ndash the Mundra regasification project ndash has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project to Japanrsquos Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO) it said in a statement on 14 April

The 5mtpa project on Indiarsquos west coast is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2016

Despite ground work on the terminal moving ahead GSPC has yet to find a part-ner for a 25 stake in the terminal ICIS understands

In December 2013 India Gas Solutions (IGS) ndash the 5050 joint venture of UK-based BP and Indiarsquos Reliance Industries ndash along with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Indian state companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) were all short-listed for the second round of the stake sale

However no decision has been taken as yet on the second round adding to the speculation that the terminal may miss its targeted start-up date in 2016

The state of Gujarat already has two operational LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej with sources in India noting that expansions at the two facilities may leave Mundra a second-best choice for customers in the area

ldquoThe tariffs at Mundra being a green-field project are expected to be higher compared with Dahejrdquo one source said Ranjana KaushalLudovic Aldersley

Greece in talks with infrastructure provider

Greecersquos minister of environment energy and climate change met with floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) provider Golar LNG regarding a planned import terminal in the north of the country the ministry said on 15 April Greecersquos state-owned gas supply com-pany DEPA is progressing plans to have a 3-5 billion cubic metre (bcm)year FSRU by 2017 which the European Commission considers as a project of common interest

The feasibility study and environmental impact study prepared by DEPA are currently in the final stages according to minister Yian-nis Maniatis

ldquoThe importance of the project together with the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) are major pillars of enhancing energy security of the regionrdquo the Ministry said adding its importance is further ldquore-flected by the advanced consultations with governments and companies from Bulgaria and Romaniardquo

Several LNG terminal developments have been proposed across southeast Europe with an eye on the wider regional market

Within Greece DEPArsquos FSRU proposal is one of three projects that includes expansion of the existing 5bcmyear Revithoussa terminal and a separate FSRU proposal from domestic energy conglomerate Copelouzos

ldquoGolar has expressed its interest in full participation in financing the project provid-ing significant flexibility in the implementation of the overall projectrdquo the Greek ministry said

In parallel to the LNG infrastructure projects the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector is scheduled to be sanctioned in mid-2014 ahead of a 2016 start-up with an initial 3bcmyear capacity ICIS understands Ludovic Aldersley

Taipower could extend lifespan of its nuclear power plantsTaiwanese state-owned utility Taipower could apply to extend the lifespan of its three existing nuclear plant fleet if its fourth facil-ity which is still under construction is not brought on line due to public opposition according to a company source

Taipower hopes that the plant ndash which is located in Gongliao district New Taipei City ndash can become operational next year It will be able to generate around 193TWhyear the source said

With Taipowerrsquos existing nuclear power plants heading for decommissioning in the

coming years there is a risk of power short-ages by 2016 he added

The two units of Taipowerrsquos No 1 nuclear plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018 and 2019 respectively while the two units in the second plant will expire in 2021 and 2022 The two units in the third plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024 and 2025 respectively according to Taiwanrsquos Atomic Energy Council

Taipower is considering using alterna-tive sources of energy such as natural gas and coal but feels nuclear energy has

many advantages ldquoIt will be very difficult and expensive to use alternative sources of energy to make up any shortfallrdquo the source said

The price of importing LNG is very expen-sive compared to nuclear power generation Furthermore the amount of LNG that can be imported is also limited by Taiwanrsquos LNG terminal capacity

ldquoWe would need to build additional in-frastructure such as LNG receiving terminals tanks and pipelines if we want to import enough LNG to cover the shortfall of nuclear powerrdquo the source said Hairul Borhan

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS for the daily European Gas Fundamentals report

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

Market reforms are meant to encourage the

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

the most plausible buyer Petrobras however was also heard to have been in discussions for strip deals from BP and Shell to cover the upcoming months which could limit its spot demand

On the other hand there were increased signs that the warming weather pattern El Nino could soon appear The impact on Brazil could be a continuation of the dry weather which has increased the need for LNG be-cause of low hydro-power generation Reser-voir levels remain low across key generating regions

The GDF SUEZ Neptune brought a cargo into the floating storage and regasification unit at Brazilrsquos Guanabara Bay on 13 April ndash the third cargo brought in by the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ

Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS lifted the Seri Bega-wan as a reload from Zeebrugge on 13 April with the vessel due to arrive in Brazil on 30 April This would be the eighth cargo into Brazil in April In May 2013 Petrobras took in 10 cargoes

Argentinean state-buyers ENARSA and YPF could release a tender for June deliveries but no announcement has so far emerged

The LNG demand outlook is more muted from other South American countries Chilersquos Quintero terminal is expecting two spot de-liveries in the second quarter with buyers not expecting to require additional volume over the countryrsquos winter period

The LNG-purchasing GNL consortium is understood to have taken a spot cargo from BG for arrival in May with Shell to deliver another cargo in the first half of June Both cargoes were understood to originate from Trinidad in the low $1600sMMBtu when agreed in late March

No immediate demand is expected from Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE

Japan June demand surfacesThe relative lull in bidding interest from Japan recently has showed some signs of drawing to a close with three utility buyers reportedly bidding in the mid-$1400sMMBtu for June delivery At least four utilities were heard to have tank space but waiting to see if further price falls would come

But with northeast Asian markets show-ing a contango from June into July the delivery window for opportunistic buys is considered finite and closing The July DES price is above $1500MMBtu as power con-sumption across Japanese urban centres is expected to rise in line with seasonal demand for air-conditioning

The Japanese Meteorological Agency said there was a 40 probability of above-normal temperatures between June and August in several key regions of the country which would typically support the need for marginal LNG imports over the period

Visibility on July pricing in key Asian mar-kets was limited however with sellers said to

be holding offers back in case demand more clearly rebounded

In more recent spot ship movements Chinarsquos state owned buyer CNOOC was con-sidered the most likely winner of the recent Angola tender with the 160000cbm Sonan-gol Etosha headed for the CNOOC-controlled Zhejiang Ningbo terminal on 17 April Sources said the cargo was sold in the high $1400sMMBtu but this was not confirmed

Ship data also revealed another spot de-livery into China aboard the Statoil-controlled 155000cbm Arctic Aurora which is due to arrive at delivery an unidentified Chinese port on 18 April

In Japan the PETRONAS-controlled 145000cbm Seri Angkasa was due into the Oita terminal with a Nigeria-sourced cargo on 19 April Regional utility Kysuhu Electric is the main capacity holder at the terminal

Clarity on plant turnarounds The usual shutdown slate is kicking in over the spring period with more to come in the second half of the year However market impact was seen as limited with the loss of volume already factored in

The 33mtpa train two at Atlantic LNG in Trinidad was heard to have gone down for five days from 17 April The third train was reportedly due to undergo maintenance for six days from 1 July with train one also down for six days in August

Norwayrsquos Snohvit will shut down from 2 May to 9 June Two cargoes delivered from the facility into the Dutch Gate terminal were partly acting as storage for Statoil ahead of the shutdown sources said

A trader said the single-train Angola plant had begun 15 days of maintenance at the start of April with a 50-60 day outage planned from July-August

Spain still busy more into UKA further five reloads are planned from Spanish terminals in the second half of April ndash with Cartagena the most active While the push for fresh business appeared to slow down in the run up to the Easter holiday period six reloads are planned for May with an additional one straddling the end of April start of May This is double the number of reloads done last May

The EDFT-controlled 160000cbm Cool Voyager was due into Cartagena on 20 April with the cargo reload said to be due to go to South Korea The FOB reload price has hov-ered in the $1300sMMBtu in recent weeks

In the UK the trend of rising Qatari cargoes into South Hook in April continued in a similar trend to last year A total of five cargoes have already arrived into the Welsh facility with a further two scheduled in by the end of the month This would represent the highest volume intake since last November

Last April South Hook imports also jumped month on month to reach

CNOOC was considered the most likely winner

of the recent Angola tender

Henry HubNBP

939000 tonnes from Qatar in line with the end of the winter demand profile in north-east Asia NBP prices currently represent one of the lowest netback values with the front month at more than a three-year low ndash in part as a result of the increase in LNG arrivals But the liquidity of the hub and availability of buyers is still a useful flexible tool for spare cargoes

First 2014 STS transfer at MontoirThe French Montoir LNG facility carried out the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year on 12 April on two GDF SUEZ vessels Snohvit-sourced LNG was transferred over a period of two days from the 177000cbm Grace Dahlia to the 150000cbm Grace Barleria The latter was likely to head to South Korea to either of the countryrsquos independent importers GS Caltex or SK EampS a source said

Surge in shipping activityMore than 10 LNG carriers have been chartered in the last three weeks according to shipping sources with a growing discrepancy in rates in the Atlantic and the Pacific Ship owners have been more willing to renegotiate on re-delivery terms while keeping charter rates above $60000day for dual fuel diesel electric (DFDE) ships and in the $50000sday for steam turbine propulsion ships GDF SUEZ EDFT and Trafigura were all heard to have chartered 2013-built DFDE vessels

Canadian Triton LNG receives regulatory export licence Calgary-based AltaGas and its Japanese refining partner Idemitsu have received a 25-year export licence from Canadian energy regulators for their joint small-scale LNG ex-port project

The proposed venture which would either be located near Kitimat or Prince Rupert in British Columbia envisages a floating lique-faction storage and offloading (FLSO) vessel which would include two liquefaction trains

Known as Triton LNG the project received approval to export 23mtpa on 16 April from Canadarsquos National Energy Board (NEB) as well as an additional 15 annual tolerance as per Canadian export standards

ldquoWe have determined that the quantity of gas proposed to be exported by Triton LNG is surplus to Canadian needs The board is satis-fied that the gas resource base in Canada as well as North America is large and can ac-commodate reasonably foreseeable Canadian demand the proposed LNG exports and a plausible potential increase in demandrdquo the NEB order stated

Given the abundance of shale gas in North America the US is no longer importing Cana-dian gas which has stranded the countryrsquos gas reserves and spurred LNG export projects to be developed along the west coast of British Columbia

The Western Canadian export projects are targeting premium northeast Asian markets and Asian companies such as Idemitsu have partnered directly with project proponents through equity and offtake agreements in order to help commercialise the gas

However the Canadian liquefaction ventures and associated pipelines which are developed at a greenfield cost have stalled in reaching final investment because of the cost uncertainties associated with developing in such a rugged and remote environment

Canadarsquos provincial government officials and regulatory authorities have viewed themselves as backers of the LNG industry promoting the country as a desirable location to develop large energy infrastructure projects such as LNG exports

The next project awaiting its export licence is Goldboro LNG a scheme developed by Pieri-dae Energy in Guysborough Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada The 10mpta project has a 5mpta agreement in place with German utility EON on a European hub-indexation The project seeks to supply the LNG by requesting a flow reversal on the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline that runs from Canada to the US

The gap between the NEBrsquos last approval ndash on 16 December 2013 ndash and the Triton LNG approval on 16 April perhaps signals a more cautious approach by the government

While not as lengthy as the time that it took for the US Freeport LNG project to receive its long-awaited non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export licence from the US Depart-ment of Energy (DOE) the four-month pause between the Canadian projects has been the longest time period yet between approvals

In the interim the NEB also approved a 25-year application in February for a US pro-ject proposed on the west coast the planned 6mpta Jordan Cove venture developed by Cal-gary-based infrastructure company Veresen The Jordan Cove scheme proposes importing Canadian pipeline gas into the US and then bringing the volumes to the greenfield site in southwest Oregon to export as LNG

Triton LNG is the ninth project with a Cana-dian export licence

The NEB approved a batch of four projects in December 2013 These included BG Grouprsquos Prince Rupert facility Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest the ExxonMobil-Imperial Oil venture WCC and the Woodfibre LNG export project developed by the Singa-pore energy company Pacific Oil amp Gas

Royal Dutch Shell is leading a consortium with Chinarsquos PetroChina Japanese trading company Mitsubishi and Korearsquos KOGAS for a planned 12mtpa facility in Kitimat

The first Canadian project to receive its ex-port licence was in October 2011 the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG project which is now being jointly marketed by US-based producer Chevron and exploration and production com-pany Apache Corporation Ruth Liao

GIIGNL corrects annual reportA mid-term agreement between the An-gola LNG consortium and Brazilrsquos state-run Petrobras in the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL) report published on 8 April was incorrect according to the organi-sation The initial report stated that the two companies reached an agreement in 2013 for

400000 tonnes per annum on a four-year basis on delivered ex-ship (DES) terms

The information was considered incor-rectly documented as a wrong assumption and GIIGNL has since reissued a final report on its website removing the contract infor-mation Ruth Liao

Russia aims to finalise gas talks with China by MayRussiarsquos incumbent producer Gazprom hopes to finalise a 30-year gas agreement to supply China prior to President Vladimir Pu-tinrsquos approaching visit Arkady Dvorkovich Russiarsquos deputy prime minister said on 14 April as quoted by the Russian media

ldquoOn gas the talks are nearing a close and there is a mutual intention to finish this work before the Russian presidentrsquos visit in Mayrdquo Dvorkovich said during a televised government meeting

ldquoConsultations are ongoing and Gazpromrsquos management are holding talks with Chinese partners on the contract terms We hope to conclude the contract in May and believe it should come into effect by the year endrdquo Dvorkovich said

The agreement would involve the export of 38 billion cubic metres (bcm)year of pipe-line gas starting in 2018

Volumes could be ramped up to 70bcmyear over the course of 30 years The framework agreement between Gazprom and government-controlled China National Petroleum Corporation was signed back in 2009

Negotiations have taken place over the course of the last 10 years with pricing seen as the main roadblock to reaching the agree-ment

However with growing political tensions over Russiarsquos involvement in Ukrainersquos crisis and the subsequent annexation of Crimea China could have gained a bargaining ad-vantage with the potential increasing isola-tion of Russia from western gas markets

Russia has been actively seeking alterna-tive markets in Asia to export gas either through pipeline from fields mainly in Si-beria and the Russian Far East or as LNG to decrease dependence on European imports Russia has few exports markets for gas out-side Europe

lsquoEconomic sanctions from the EU cou-pled with potential competition of shale gas exports from the US ndash as LNG or shale gas develops in Europe ndash could mean a diminish-ing market for Russian gas

As a result Russian export strategy has become mainly Asia-oriented with the po-tential development of several LNG projects including Vladivostok and the expansion of the Sakhalin-2 LNG project with another train

China needs gas to satisfy its growing energy needs as well as to replace coal-fired power generation in densely populated parts of the country Roman Kazmin

Japanrsquos energy plan warns about LNG dependenceJapanrsquos cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sources of power generation and relegates LNG to an inter-mediate load source status according to the plan released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) on 11 April The energy plan which lays out the countryrsquos energy policies for the next 20 years warned about the need to avoid exces-sive reliance on high-priced LNG imports as a substitution for nuclear power generation but did not include any numerical targets for the countryrsquos long-term energy mix

ldquoJapan should avoid excessive depen-dence on LNG as a source of power genera-tion and promote cost reductions by diversify-ing its supply sourcesrdquo the plan said

The plan suggests a number of actions that can be taken at the corporate and in-stitutional levels to reduce the cost of LNG imports such as diversifying contract price indexations eliminating destination restric-tions increasing investment in upstream developments and supporting joint procure-ment agreements to increase buyersrsquo bar-gaining power

ldquoIt is necessary to continue to support strategic efforts towards joint procurementrdquo the plan said

The plan anticipates that US shale gas exports will have a positive impact on the Japanese and global markets from 2017 as these contracts will be linked to the US Henry Hub gas benchmark and will not include a destination restriction clause which means offtakers will be able to trade volumes inter-nationally

ldquoUS LNG will contribute not only to the improvement of the global trading environ-ment but also to the creation of an LNG futures marketrdquo the plan said

Fourth planJapanrsquos energy plan which was drafted in December 2013 but only released by METI for cabinet approval on 18 March is the countryrsquos fourth basic energy plan and the first one formulated since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Since then Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90

The plan highlights the key role that coal and nuclear power sources are expected to play in the countryrsquos energy mix (For more on this see the Focus on Japan)

The plan re-evaluated the key role that nuclear power is to play in the countryrsquos en-ergy mix and states that Japan will proceed to

restart those nuclear reactors that have suc-cessfully passed the safety assessments by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) and have received approval by the local governments

This reverses the previous Democratic Party of Japan governmentrsquos decision to phase out nuclear power generation by 2040 in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster

Nuclear energy remains an efficient abundant and stable source of power sup-ply which can be domestically produced at relatively low operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions the plan said The priority lies in ensuring the safety of the nuclear power plants it added

Power market liberalisation by 2020The plan highlighted the importance of reforms aimed at liberalising the downstream power markets The full liberalisation of the downstream power generation and retail markets are being advanced through three stages with completion of stage three expected in 2020 the plan said

ldquoBy promoting legal neutrality in the power transmission and distribution sector we will tackle limitations in the conventional power system and increase investment in the power distribution networkrdquo the plan said Abache Abreu

Thailandrsquos PTT in talks for up to 1mtpa of long-term supply from BP

Thailandrsquos state-owned buyer PTT is in discussions with UK-headquartered oil and gas major BP for the long-term supply of up to 1mtpa of LNG on a delivered ex ship (DES) basis starting from 2015 a PTT company offi-cial said in a telephone interview on 11 April

ldquoWe are in discussions with many suppli-ers to make sure we have the best deal for the best interest of the countryrdquo said Nutta-chat Charuchinda chief operations officer of PTTrsquos downstream petroleum business group

ldquoWe would like to see the best options that are available to us [hellip] a basket of supply to make sure that we have security of supply at the best pricerdquo he said

PTT is open to different sources of supply and price indexationsldquo whether it is linked to crude oil JCC [Japanese Crude Cocktail] or Henry Hubrdquo Charuchinda said

Additional contractual agreements are sought in response to PTTrsquos own energy forecasts which foresee a rise in Thailandrsquos domestic energy consumption and an in-crease in the share natural gas holds in the countryrsquos energy mix in relation to coal and nuclear power generation On the other hand the countryrsquos energy reserves are fast dwindling according to PTT while pipeline gas imports from neighbouring countries are increasingly limited

PTT has so far signed two long-term agreements for a total supply of 46mtpa by 2020 In December 2012 PTT signed its first long-term LNG contract with Qatargas for the supply of 2mpta of LNG for 20 years start-ing in 2015 In December 2013 PTT signed a preliminary deal with US-based Anadarko Petroleum for the procurement of 26mpta from Mozambique starting from 2018-2019

Additional 1mtpa might be enoughIn the long term PTT might be interested in securing additional supply from North America or east Africa but having secured 46mtpa under long-term contracts an additional 1mtpa supply might be sufficient to meet the Thai buyerrsquos mid-term demand requirements a Singapore-based analyst said

ldquoPTT has realised they need more LNG but with almost 5mtpa in contracts and an additional 1mtpa under discussion they might wait and see before they start buying againrdquo said Tony Regan an analyst at Singa-pore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoPTT could be cautious and assume they might not be able to get more gas from Myanmar domestic reserves are declining and there is little potential for that to recoverrdquo he said ldquoBut I think they will wait Otherwise they are going to see prices firming because

of all this buying activity Also they have been relatively slow to develop their domestic market for regasified LNG There is a huge industry nearby but it is taking them time to secure contracts with offtakers and arrange truck lifting from the terminalrdquo

Spot procurement set to continueWhile PTT aims to meet most of its demand requirements through long-term contracts the Thai buyer will continue to supplement any shortages through spot LNG purchases

ldquoWe cannot commit [wholly] to term supply Some spot supply [will continue]rdquo Charuchinda said The company recently awarded a single-cargo buy tender for deliv-ery between 5-20 May and is in the market for additional June-delivery volumes

ldquo[PTT] has finished procurement for May [and] will now start looking for June [deliver-ies]rdquo a source close to the tender process said

PTT typically limits participation in its ten-ders to parties with which it has previously concluded master sales agreements Winners of 2013 PTT tenders include Qatari supplier Qatargas Francersquos GDF SUEZ UK-based BG Group and Anglo-Dutch major Shell Nor-wayrsquos Statoil Francersquos Total and Russiarsquos Gazprom have also participated in the 2013 tenders Abache Abreu

GSPC increases LNG market participation ahead of MundraIndian natural gas trader Gujarat State Pe-troleum Corporation (GSPC) has stepped up its short-term LNG procurement following the rupture of a 15-year contract it previ-ously held with state-owned importer GAIL

GSPC has been independently looking for cargoes since March and is no longer relying on GAIL for supplies of about eight LNG cargoes per year a source close to the situation has told ICIS

GAIL had previously sought to renegoti-ate the price of its regasified LNG supplies to GSPC on the back of increases in trans-portation tariffs and rising international LNG prices since 2011 ICIS understands

While the Supreme Court of India up-held GAILrsquos right to negotiate prices for gas delivery from 2014 both parties failed to agree on a suitable price arrangement

A document from the Supreme Court in September 2013 revealed ldquoThe fact that no agreement could be reached between GAIL and GSPC regarding the price of gas [means that] the agreement shall stand terminated with effect from 01012014 and the parties hereto shall stand relieved of their obligation under the Agreementrdquo

As a result GSPC has now increased its presence on the LNG market in order to supply downstream customers engaged in power generation steel and city gas distri-bution

The company has taken delivery of a Qatar-sourced spot cargo on 11 April at the Dahej LNG terminal ICIS understands the cargo was delivered at a landed cost in the $1630sMMBtu

The ICIS DES [delivered ex-ship] India price was assessed for the final time for

April delivery at $1645MMBtu on 14 March

GSPC awards Mundra EPC contract GSPC as the developer of what would be the state of Gujaratrsquos third LNG terminal ndash the Mundra regasification project ndash has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project to Japanrsquos Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO) it said in a statement on 14 April

The 5mtpa project on Indiarsquos west coast is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2016

Despite ground work on the terminal moving ahead GSPC has yet to find a part-ner for a 25 stake in the terminal ICIS understands

In December 2013 India Gas Solutions (IGS) ndash the 5050 joint venture of UK-based BP and Indiarsquos Reliance Industries ndash along with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Indian state companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) were all short-listed for the second round of the stake sale

However no decision has been taken as yet on the second round adding to the speculation that the terminal may miss its targeted start-up date in 2016

The state of Gujarat already has two operational LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej with sources in India noting that expansions at the two facilities may leave Mundra a second-best choice for customers in the area

ldquoThe tariffs at Mundra being a green-field project are expected to be higher compared with Dahejrdquo one source said Ranjana KaushalLudovic Aldersley

Greece in talks with infrastructure provider

Greecersquos minister of environment energy and climate change met with floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) provider Golar LNG regarding a planned import terminal in the north of the country the ministry said on 15 April Greecersquos state-owned gas supply com-pany DEPA is progressing plans to have a 3-5 billion cubic metre (bcm)year FSRU by 2017 which the European Commission considers as a project of common interest

The feasibility study and environmental impact study prepared by DEPA are currently in the final stages according to minister Yian-nis Maniatis

ldquoThe importance of the project together with the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) are major pillars of enhancing energy security of the regionrdquo the Ministry said adding its importance is further ldquore-flected by the advanced consultations with governments and companies from Bulgaria and Romaniardquo

Several LNG terminal developments have been proposed across southeast Europe with an eye on the wider regional market

Within Greece DEPArsquos FSRU proposal is one of three projects that includes expansion of the existing 5bcmyear Revithoussa terminal and a separate FSRU proposal from domestic energy conglomerate Copelouzos

ldquoGolar has expressed its interest in full participation in financing the project provid-ing significant flexibility in the implementation of the overall projectrdquo the Greek ministry said

In parallel to the LNG infrastructure projects the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector is scheduled to be sanctioned in mid-2014 ahead of a 2016 start-up with an initial 3bcmyear capacity ICIS understands Ludovic Aldersley

Taipower could extend lifespan of its nuclear power plantsTaiwanese state-owned utility Taipower could apply to extend the lifespan of its three existing nuclear plant fleet if its fourth facil-ity which is still under construction is not brought on line due to public opposition according to a company source

Taipower hopes that the plant ndash which is located in Gongliao district New Taipei City ndash can become operational next year It will be able to generate around 193TWhyear the source said

With Taipowerrsquos existing nuclear power plants heading for decommissioning in the

coming years there is a risk of power short-ages by 2016 he added

The two units of Taipowerrsquos No 1 nuclear plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018 and 2019 respectively while the two units in the second plant will expire in 2021 and 2022 The two units in the third plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024 and 2025 respectively according to Taiwanrsquos Atomic Energy Council

Taipower is considering using alterna-tive sources of energy such as natural gas and coal but feels nuclear energy has

many advantages ldquoIt will be very difficult and expensive to use alternative sources of energy to make up any shortfallrdquo the source said

The price of importing LNG is very expen-sive compared to nuclear power generation Furthermore the amount of LNG that can be imported is also limited by Taiwanrsquos LNG terminal capacity

ldquoWe would need to build additional in-frastructure such as LNG receiving terminals tanks and pipelines if we want to import enough LNG to cover the shortfall of nuclear powerrdquo the source said Hairul Borhan

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

Henry HubNBP

939000 tonnes from Qatar in line with the end of the winter demand profile in north-east Asia NBP prices currently represent one of the lowest netback values with the front month at more than a three-year low ndash in part as a result of the increase in LNG arrivals But the liquidity of the hub and availability of buyers is still a useful flexible tool for spare cargoes

First 2014 STS transfer at MontoirThe French Montoir LNG facility carried out the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year on 12 April on two GDF SUEZ vessels Snohvit-sourced LNG was transferred over a period of two days from the 177000cbm Grace Dahlia to the 150000cbm Grace Barleria The latter was likely to head to South Korea to either of the countryrsquos independent importers GS Caltex or SK EampS a source said

Surge in shipping activityMore than 10 LNG carriers have been chartered in the last three weeks according to shipping sources with a growing discrepancy in rates in the Atlantic and the Pacific Ship owners have been more willing to renegotiate on re-delivery terms while keeping charter rates above $60000day for dual fuel diesel electric (DFDE) ships and in the $50000sday for steam turbine propulsion ships GDF SUEZ EDFT and Trafigura were all heard to have chartered 2013-built DFDE vessels

Canadian Triton LNG receives regulatory export licence Calgary-based AltaGas and its Japanese refining partner Idemitsu have received a 25-year export licence from Canadian energy regulators for their joint small-scale LNG ex-port project

The proposed venture which would either be located near Kitimat or Prince Rupert in British Columbia envisages a floating lique-faction storage and offloading (FLSO) vessel which would include two liquefaction trains

Known as Triton LNG the project received approval to export 23mtpa on 16 April from Canadarsquos National Energy Board (NEB) as well as an additional 15 annual tolerance as per Canadian export standards

ldquoWe have determined that the quantity of gas proposed to be exported by Triton LNG is surplus to Canadian needs The board is satis-fied that the gas resource base in Canada as well as North America is large and can ac-commodate reasonably foreseeable Canadian demand the proposed LNG exports and a plausible potential increase in demandrdquo the NEB order stated

Given the abundance of shale gas in North America the US is no longer importing Cana-dian gas which has stranded the countryrsquos gas reserves and spurred LNG export projects to be developed along the west coast of British Columbia

The Western Canadian export projects are targeting premium northeast Asian markets and Asian companies such as Idemitsu have partnered directly with project proponents through equity and offtake agreements in order to help commercialise the gas

However the Canadian liquefaction ventures and associated pipelines which are developed at a greenfield cost have stalled in reaching final investment because of the cost uncertainties associated with developing in such a rugged and remote environment

Canadarsquos provincial government officials and regulatory authorities have viewed themselves as backers of the LNG industry promoting the country as a desirable location to develop large energy infrastructure projects such as LNG exports

The next project awaiting its export licence is Goldboro LNG a scheme developed by Pieri-dae Energy in Guysborough Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada The 10mpta project has a 5mpta agreement in place with German utility EON on a European hub-indexation The project seeks to supply the LNG by requesting a flow reversal on the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline that runs from Canada to the US

The gap between the NEBrsquos last approval ndash on 16 December 2013 ndash and the Triton LNG approval on 16 April perhaps signals a more cautious approach by the government

While not as lengthy as the time that it took for the US Freeport LNG project to receive its long-awaited non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export licence from the US Depart-ment of Energy (DOE) the four-month pause between the Canadian projects has been the longest time period yet between approvals

In the interim the NEB also approved a 25-year application in February for a US pro-ject proposed on the west coast the planned 6mpta Jordan Cove venture developed by Cal-gary-based infrastructure company Veresen The Jordan Cove scheme proposes importing Canadian pipeline gas into the US and then bringing the volumes to the greenfield site in southwest Oregon to export as LNG

Triton LNG is the ninth project with a Cana-dian export licence

The NEB approved a batch of four projects in December 2013 These included BG Grouprsquos Prince Rupert facility Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest the ExxonMobil-Imperial Oil venture WCC and the Woodfibre LNG export project developed by the Singa-pore energy company Pacific Oil amp Gas

Royal Dutch Shell is leading a consortium with Chinarsquos PetroChina Japanese trading company Mitsubishi and Korearsquos KOGAS for a planned 12mtpa facility in Kitimat

The first Canadian project to receive its ex-port licence was in October 2011 the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG project which is now being jointly marketed by US-based producer Chevron and exploration and production com-pany Apache Corporation Ruth Liao

GIIGNL corrects annual reportA mid-term agreement between the An-gola LNG consortium and Brazilrsquos state-run Petrobras in the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL) report published on 8 April was incorrect according to the organi-sation The initial report stated that the two companies reached an agreement in 2013 for

400000 tonnes per annum on a four-year basis on delivered ex-ship (DES) terms

The information was considered incor-rectly documented as a wrong assumption and GIIGNL has since reissued a final report on its website removing the contract infor-mation Ruth Liao

Russia aims to finalise gas talks with China by MayRussiarsquos incumbent producer Gazprom hopes to finalise a 30-year gas agreement to supply China prior to President Vladimir Pu-tinrsquos approaching visit Arkady Dvorkovich Russiarsquos deputy prime minister said on 14 April as quoted by the Russian media

ldquoOn gas the talks are nearing a close and there is a mutual intention to finish this work before the Russian presidentrsquos visit in Mayrdquo Dvorkovich said during a televised government meeting

ldquoConsultations are ongoing and Gazpromrsquos management are holding talks with Chinese partners on the contract terms We hope to conclude the contract in May and believe it should come into effect by the year endrdquo Dvorkovich said

The agreement would involve the export of 38 billion cubic metres (bcm)year of pipe-line gas starting in 2018

Volumes could be ramped up to 70bcmyear over the course of 30 years The framework agreement between Gazprom and government-controlled China National Petroleum Corporation was signed back in 2009

Negotiations have taken place over the course of the last 10 years with pricing seen as the main roadblock to reaching the agree-ment

However with growing political tensions over Russiarsquos involvement in Ukrainersquos crisis and the subsequent annexation of Crimea China could have gained a bargaining ad-vantage with the potential increasing isola-tion of Russia from western gas markets

Russia has been actively seeking alterna-tive markets in Asia to export gas either through pipeline from fields mainly in Si-beria and the Russian Far East or as LNG to decrease dependence on European imports Russia has few exports markets for gas out-side Europe

lsquoEconomic sanctions from the EU cou-pled with potential competition of shale gas exports from the US ndash as LNG or shale gas develops in Europe ndash could mean a diminish-ing market for Russian gas

As a result Russian export strategy has become mainly Asia-oriented with the po-tential development of several LNG projects including Vladivostok and the expansion of the Sakhalin-2 LNG project with another train

China needs gas to satisfy its growing energy needs as well as to replace coal-fired power generation in densely populated parts of the country Roman Kazmin

Japanrsquos energy plan warns about LNG dependenceJapanrsquos cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sources of power generation and relegates LNG to an inter-mediate load source status according to the plan released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) on 11 April The energy plan which lays out the countryrsquos energy policies for the next 20 years warned about the need to avoid exces-sive reliance on high-priced LNG imports as a substitution for nuclear power generation but did not include any numerical targets for the countryrsquos long-term energy mix

ldquoJapan should avoid excessive depen-dence on LNG as a source of power genera-tion and promote cost reductions by diversify-ing its supply sourcesrdquo the plan said

The plan suggests a number of actions that can be taken at the corporate and in-stitutional levels to reduce the cost of LNG imports such as diversifying contract price indexations eliminating destination restric-tions increasing investment in upstream developments and supporting joint procure-ment agreements to increase buyersrsquo bar-gaining power

ldquoIt is necessary to continue to support strategic efforts towards joint procurementrdquo the plan said

The plan anticipates that US shale gas exports will have a positive impact on the Japanese and global markets from 2017 as these contracts will be linked to the US Henry Hub gas benchmark and will not include a destination restriction clause which means offtakers will be able to trade volumes inter-nationally

ldquoUS LNG will contribute not only to the improvement of the global trading environ-ment but also to the creation of an LNG futures marketrdquo the plan said

Fourth planJapanrsquos energy plan which was drafted in December 2013 but only released by METI for cabinet approval on 18 March is the countryrsquos fourth basic energy plan and the first one formulated since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Since then Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90

The plan highlights the key role that coal and nuclear power sources are expected to play in the countryrsquos energy mix (For more on this see the Focus on Japan)

The plan re-evaluated the key role that nuclear power is to play in the countryrsquos en-ergy mix and states that Japan will proceed to

restart those nuclear reactors that have suc-cessfully passed the safety assessments by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) and have received approval by the local governments

This reverses the previous Democratic Party of Japan governmentrsquos decision to phase out nuclear power generation by 2040 in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster

Nuclear energy remains an efficient abundant and stable source of power sup-ply which can be domestically produced at relatively low operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions the plan said The priority lies in ensuring the safety of the nuclear power plants it added

Power market liberalisation by 2020The plan highlighted the importance of reforms aimed at liberalising the downstream power markets The full liberalisation of the downstream power generation and retail markets are being advanced through three stages with completion of stage three expected in 2020 the plan said

ldquoBy promoting legal neutrality in the power transmission and distribution sector we will tackle limitations in the conventional power system and increase investment in the power distribution networkrdquo the plan said Abache Abreu

Thailandrsquos PTT in talks for up to 1mtpa of long-term supply from BP

Thailandrsquos state-owned buyer PTT is in discussions with UK-headquartered oil and gas major BP for the long-term supply of up to 1mtpa of LNG on a delivered ex ship (DES) basis starting from 2015 a PTT company offi-cial said in a telephone interview on 11 April

ldquoWe are in discussions with many suppli-ers to make sure we have the best deal for the best interest of the countryrdquo said Nutta-chat Charuchinda chief operations officer of PTTrsquos downstream petroleum business group

ldquoWe would like to see the best options that are available to us [hellip] a basket of supply to make sure that we have security of supply at the best pricerdquo he said

PTT is open to different sources of supply and price indexationsldquo whether it is linked to crude oil JCC [Japanese Crude Cocktail] or Henry Hubrdquo Charuchinda said

Additional contractual agreements are sought in response to PTTrsquos own energy forecasts which foresee a rise in Thailandrsquos domestic energy consumption and an in-crease in the share natural gas holds in the countryrsquos energy mix in relation to coal and nuclear power generation On the other hand the countryrsquos energy reserves are fast dwindling according to PTT while pipeline gas imports from neighbouring countries are increasingly limited

PTT has so far signed two long-term agreements for a total supply of 46mtpa by 2020 In December 2012 PTT signed its first long-term LNG contract with Qatargas for the supply of 2mpta of LNG for 20 years start-ing in 2015 In December 2013 PTT signed a preliminary deal with US-based Anadarko Petroleum for the procurement of 26mpta from Mozambique starting from 2018-2019

Additional 1mtpa might be enoughIn the long term PTT might be interested in securing additional supply from North America or east Africa but having secured 46mtpa under long-term contracts an additional 1mtpa supply might be sufficient to meet the Thai buyerrsquos mid-term demand requirements a Singapore-based analyst said

ldquoPTT has realised they need more LNG but with almost 5mtpa in contracts and an additional 1mtpa under discussion they might wait and see before they start buying againrdquo said Tony Regan an analyst at Singa-pore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoPTT could be cautious and assume they might not be able to get more gas from Myanmar domestic reserves are declining and there is little potential for that to recoverrdquo he said ldquoBut I think they will wait Otherwise they are going to see prices firming because

of all this buying activity Also they have been relatively slow to develop their domestic market for regasified LNG There is a huge industry nearby but it is taking them time to secure contracts with offtakers and arrange truck lifting from the terminalrdquo

Spot procurement set to continueWhile PTT aims to meet most of its demand requirements through long-term contracts the Thai buyer will continue to supplement any shortages through spot LNG purchases

ldquoWe cannot commit [wholly] to term supply Some spot supply [will continue]rdquo Charuchinda said The company recently awarded a single-cargo buy tender for deliv-ery between 5-20 May and is in the market for additional June-delivery volumes

ldquo[PTT] has finished procurement for May [and] will now start looking for June [deliver-ies]rdquo a source close to the tender process said

PTT typically limits participation in its ten-ders to parties with which it has previously concluded master sales agreements Winners of 2013 PTT tenders include Qatari supplier Qatargas Francersquos GDF SUEZ UK-based BG Group and Anglo-Dutch major Shell Nor-wayrsquos Statoil Francersquos Total and Russiarsquos Gazprom have also participated in the 2013 tenders Abache Abreu

GSPC increases LNG market participation ahead of MundraIndian natural gas trader Gujarat State Pe-troleum Corporation (GSPC) has stepped up its short-term LNG procurement following the rupture of a 15-year contract it previ-ously held with state-owned importer GAIL

GSPC has been independently looking for cargoes since March and is no longer relying on GAIL for supplies of about eight LNG cargoes per year a source close to the situation has told ICIS

GAIL had previously sought to renegoti-ate the price of its regasified LNG supplies to GSPC on the back of increases in trans-portation tariffs and rising international LNG prices since 2011 ICIS understands

While the Supreme Court of India up-held GAILrsquos right to negotiate prices for gas delivery from 2014 both parties failed to agree on a suitable price arrangement

A document from the Supreme Court in September 2013 revealed ldquoThe fact that no agreement could be reached between GAIL and GSPC regarding the price of gas [means that] the agreement shall stand terminated with effect from 01012014 and the parties hereto shall stand relieved of their obligation under the Agreementrdquo

As a result GSPC has now increased its presence on the LNG market in order to supply downstream customers engaged in power generation steel and city gas distri-bution

The company has taken delivery of a Qatar-sourced spot cargo on 11 April at the Dahej LNG terminal ICIS understands the cargo was delivered at a landed cost in the $1630sMMBtu

The ICIS DES [delivered ex-ship] India price was assessed for the final time for

April delivery at $1645MMBtu on 14 March

GSPC awards Mundra EPC contract GSPC as the developer of what would be the state of Gujaratrsquos third LNG terminal ndash the Mundra regasification project ndash has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project to Japanrsquos Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO) it said in a statement on 14 April

The 5mtpa project on Indiarsquos west coast is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2016

Despite ground work on the terminal moving ahead GSPC has yet to find a part-ner for a 25 stake in the terminal ICIS understands

In December 2013 India Gas Solutions (IGS) ndash the 5050 joint venture of UK-based BP and Indiarsquos Reliance Industries ndash along with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Indian state companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) were all short-listed for the second round of the stake sale

However no decision has been taken as yet on the second round adding to the speculation that the terminal may miss its targeted start-up date in 2016

The state of Gujarat already has two operational LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej with sources in India noting that expansions at the two facilities may leave Mundra a second-best choice for customers in the area

ldquoThe tariffs at Mundra being a green-field project are expected to be higher compared with Dahejrdquo one source said Ranjana KaushalLudovic Aldersley

Greece in talks with infrastructure provider

Greecersquos minister of environment energy and climate change met with floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) provider Golar LNG regarding a planned import terminal in the north of the country the ministry said on 15 April Greecersquos state-owned gas supply com-pany DEPA is progressing plans to have a 3-5 billion cubic metre (bcm)year FSRU by 2017 which the European Commission considers as a project of common interest

The feasibility study and environmental impact study prepared by DEPA are currently in the final stages according to minister Yian-nis Maniatis

ldquoThe importance of the project together with the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) are major pillars of enhancing energy security of the regionrdquo the Ministry said adding its importance is further ldquore-flected by the advanced consultations with governments and companies from Bulgaria and Romaniardquo

Several LNG terminal developments have been proposed across southeast Europe with an eye on the wider regional market

Within Greece DEPArsquos FSRU proposal is one of three projects that includes expansion of the existing 5bcmyear Revithoussa terminal and a separate FSRU proposal from domestic energy conglomerate Copelouzos

ldquoGolar has expressed its interest in full participation in financing the project provid-ing significant flexibility in the implementation of the overall projectrdquo the Greek ministry said

In parallel to the LNG infrastructure projects the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector is scheduled to be sanctioned in mid-2014 ahead of a 2016 start-up with an initial 3bcmyear capacity ICIS understands Ludovic Aldersley

Taipower could extend lifespan of its nuclear power plantsTaiwanese state-owned utility Taipower could apply to extend the lifespan of its three existing nuclear plant fleet if its fourth facil-ity which is still under construction is not brought on line due to public opposition according to a company source

Taipower hopes that the plant ndash which is located in Gongliao district New Taipei City ndash can become operational next year It will be able to generate around 193TWhyear the source said

With Taipowerrsquos existing nuclear power plants heading for decommissioning in the

coming years there is a risk of power short-ages by 2016 he added

The two units of Taipowerrsquos No 1 nuclear plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018 and 2019 respectively while the two units in the second plant will expire in 2021 and 2022 The two units in the third plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024 and 2025 respectively according to Taiwanrsquos Atomic Energy Council

Taipower is considering using alterna-tive sources of energy such as natural gas and coal but feels nuclear energy has

many advantages ldquoIt will be very difficult and expensive to use alternative sources of energy to make up any shortfallrdquo the source said

The price of importing LNG is very expen-sive compared to nuclear power generation Furthermore the amount of LNG that can be imported is also limited by Taiwanrsquos LNG terminal capacity

ldquoWe would need to build additional in-frastructure such as LNG receiving terminals tanks and pipelines if we want to import enough LNG to cover the shortfall of nuclear powerrdquo the source said Hairul Borhan

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

Henry HubNBP

939000 tonnes from Qatar in line with the end of the winter demand profile in north-east Asia NBP prices currently represent one of the lowest netback values with the front month at more than a three-year low ndash in part as a result of the increase in LNG arrivals But the liquidity of the hub and availability of buyers is still a useful flexible tool for spare cargoes

First 2014 STS transfer at MontoirThe French Montoir LNG facility carried out the first ship-to-ship transfer of the year on 12 April on two GDF SUEZ vessels Snohvit-sourced LNG was transferred over a period of two days from the 177000cbm Grace Dahlia to the 150000cbm Grace Barleria The latter was likely to head to South Korea to either of the countryrsquos independent importers GS Caltex or SK EampS a source said

Surge in shipping activityMore than 10 LNG carriers have been chartered in the last three weeks according to shipping sources with a growing discrepancy in rates in the Atlantic and the Pacific Ship owners have been more willing to renegotiate on re-delivery terms while keeping charter rates above $60000day for dual fuel diesel electric (DFDE) ships and in the $50000sday for steam turbine propulsion ships GDF SUEZ EDFT and Trafigura were all heard to have chartered 2013-built DFDE vessels

Canadian Triton LNG receives regulatory export licence Calgary-based AltaGas and its Japanese refining partner Idemitsu have received a 25-year export licence from Canadian energy regulators for their joint small-scale LNG ex-port project

The proposed venture which would either be located near Kitimat or Prince Rupert in British Columbia envisages a floating lique-faction storage and offloading (FLSO) vessel which would include two liquefaction trains

Known as Triton LNG the project received approval to export 23mtpa on 16 April from Canadarsquos National Energy Board (NEB) as well as an additional 15 annual tolerance as per Canadian export standards

ldquoWe have determined that the quantity of gas proposed to be exported by Triton LNG is surplus to Canadian needs The board is satis-fied that the gas resource base in Canada as well as North America is large and can ac-commodate reasonably foreseeable Canadian demand the proposed LNG exports and a plausible potential increase in demandrdquo the NEB order stated

Given the abundance of shale gas in North America the US is no longer importing Cana-dian gas which has stranded the countryrsquos gas reserves and spurred LNG export projects to be developed along the west coast of British Columbia

The Western Canadian export projects are targeting premium northeast Asian markets and Asian companies such as Idemitsu have partnered directly with project proponents through equity and offtake agreements in order to help commercialise the gas

However the Canadian liquefaction ventures and associated pipelines which are developed at a greenfield cost have stalled in reaching final investment because of the cost uncertainties associated with developing in such a rugged and remote environment

Canadarsquos provincial government officials and regulatory authorities have viewed themselves as backers of the LNG industry promoting the country as a desirable location to develop large energy infrastructure projects such as LNG exports

The next project awaiting its export licence is Goldboro LNG a scheme developed by Pieri-dae Energy in Guysborough Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada The 10mpta project has a 5mpta agreement in place with German utility EON on a European hub-indexation The project seeks to supply the LNG by requesting a flow reversal on the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline that runs from Canada to the US

The gap between the NEBrsquos last approval ndash on 16 December 2013 ndash and the Triton LNG approval on 16 April perhaps signals a more cautious approach by the government

While not as lengthy as the time that it took for the US Freeport LNG project to receive its long-awaited non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export licence from the US Depart-ment of Energy (DOE) the four-month pause between the Canadian projects has been the longest time period yet between approvals

In the interim the NEB also approved a 25-year application in February for a US pro-ject proposed on the west coast the planned 6mpta Jordan Cove venture developed by Cal-gary-based infrastructure company Veresen The Jordan Cove scheme proposes importing Canadian pipeline gas into the US and then bringing the volumes to the greenfield site in southwest Oregon to export as LNG

Triton LNG is the ninth project with a Cana-dian export licence

The NEB approved a batch of four projects in December 2013 These included BG Grouprsquos Prince Rupert facility Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest the ExxonMobil-Imperial Oil venture WCC and the Woodfibre LNG export project developed by the Singa-pore energy company Pacific Oil amp Gas

Royal Dutch Shell is leading a consortium with Chinarsquos PetroChina Japanese trading company Mitsubishi and Korearsquos KOGAS for a planned 12mtpa facility in Kitimat

The first Canadian project to receive its ex-port licence was in October 2011 the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG project which is now being jointly marketed by US-based producer Chevron and exploration and production com-pany Apache Corporation Ruth Liao

GIIGNL corrects annual reportA mid-term agreement between the An-gola LNG consortium and Brazilrsquos state-run Petrobras in the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL) report published on 8 April was incorrect according to the organi-sation The initial report stated that the two companies reached an agreement in 2013 for

400000 tonnes per annum on a four-year basis on delivered ex-ship (DES) terms

The information was considered incor-rectly documented as a wrong assumption and GIIGNL has since reissued a final report on its website removing the contract infor-mation Ruth Liao

Russia aims to finalise gas talks with China by MayRussiarsquos incumbent producer Gazprom hopes to finalise a 30-year gas agreement to supply China prior to President Vladimir Pu-tinrsquos approaching visit Arkady Dvorkovich Russiarsquos deputy prime minister said on 14 April as quoted by the Russian media

ldquoOn gas the talks are nearing a close and there is a mutual intention to finish this work before the Russian presidentrsquos visit in Mayrdquo Dvorkovich said during a televised government meeting

ldquoConsultations are ongoing and Gazpromrsquos management are holding talks with Chinese partners on the contract terms We hope to conclude the contract in May and believe it should come into effect by the year endrdquo Dvorkovich said

The agreement would involve the export of 38 billion cubic metres (bcm)year of pipe-line gas starting in 2018

Volumes could be ramped up to 70bcmyear over the course of 30 years The framework agreement between Gazprom and government-controlled China National Petroleum Corporation was signed back in 2009

Negotiations have taken place over the course of the last 10 years with pricing seen as the main roadblock to reaching the agree-ment

However with growing political tensions over Russiarsquos involvement in Ukrainersquos crisis and the subsequent annexation of Crimea China could have gained a bargaining ad-vantage with the potential increasing isola-tion of Russia from western gas markets

Russia has been actively seeking alterna-tive markets in Asia to export gas either through pipeline from fields mainly in Si-beria and the Russian Far East or as LNG to decrease dependence on European imports Russia has few exports markets for gas out-side Europe

lsquoEconomic sanctions from the EU cou-pled with potential competition of shale gas exports from the US ndash as LNG or shale gas develops in Europe ndash could mean a diminish-ing market for Russian gas

As a result Russian export strategy has become mainly Asia-oriented with the po-tential development of several LNG projects including Vladivostok and the expansion of the Sakhalin-2 LNG project with another train

China needs gas to satisfy its growing energy needs as well as to replace coal-fired power generation in densely populated parts of the country Roman Kazmin

Japanrsquos energy plan warns about LNG dependenceJapanrsquos cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sources of power generation and relegates LNG to an inter-mediate load source status according to the plan released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) on 11 April The energy plan which lays out the countryrsquos energy policies for the next 20 years warned about the need to avoid exces-sive reliance on high-priced LNG imports as a substitution for nuclear power generation but did not include any numerical targets for the countryrsquos long-term energy mix

ldquoJapan should avoid excessive depen-dence on LNG as a source of power genera-tion and promote cost reductions by diversify-ing its supply sourcesrdquo the plan said

The plan suggests a number of actions that can be taken at the corporate and in-stitutional levels to reduce the cost of LNG imports such as diversifying contract price indexations eliminating destination restric-tions increasing investment in upstream developments and supporting joint procure-ment agreements to increase buyersrsquo bar-gaining power

ldquoIt is necessary to continue to support strategic efforts towards joint procurementrdquo the plan said

The plan anticipates that US shale gas exports will have a positive impact on the Japanese and global markets from 2017 as these contracts will be linked to the US Henry Hub gas benchmark and will not include a destination restriction clause which means offtakers will be able to trade volumes inter-nationally

ldquoUS LNG will contribute not only to the improvement of the global trading environ-ment but also to the creation of an LNG futures marketrdquo the plan said

Fourth planJapanrsquos energy plan which was drafted in December 2013 but only released by METI for cabinet approval on 18 March is the countryrsquos fourth basic energy plan and the first one formulated since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Since then Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90

The plan highlights the key role that coal and nuclear power sources are expected to play in the countryrsquos energy mix (For more on this see the Focus on Japan)

The plan re-evaluated the key role that nuclear power is to play in the countryrsquos en-ergy mix and states that Japan will proceed to

restart those nuclear reactors that have suc-cessfully passed the safety assessments by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) and have received approval by the local governments

This reverses the previous Democratic Party of Japan governmentrsquos decision to phase out nuclear power generation by 2040 in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster

Nuclear energy remains an efficient abundant and stable source of power sup-ply which can be domestically produced at relatively low operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions the plan said The priority lies in ensuring the safety of the nuclear power plants it added

Power market liberalisation by 2020The plan highlighted the importance of reforms aimed at liberalising the downstream power markets The full liberalisation of the downstream power generation and retail markets are being advanced through three stages with completion of stage three expected in 2020 the plan said

ldquoBy promoting legal neutrality in the power transmission and distribution sector we will tackle limitations in the conventional power system and increase investment in the power distribution networkrdquo the plan said Abache Abreu

Thailandrsquos PTT in talks for up to 1mtpa of long-term supply from BP

Thailandrsquos state-owned buyer PTT is in discussions with UK-headquartered oil and gas major BP for the long-term supply of up to 1mtpa of LNG on a delivered ex ship (DES) basis starting from 2015 a PTT company offi-cial said in a telephone interview on 11 April

ldquoWe are in discussions with many suppli-ers to make sure we have the best deal for the best interest of the countryrdquo said Nutta-chat Charuchinda chief operations officer of PTTrsquos downstream petroleum business group

ldquoWe would like to see the best options that are available to us [hellip] a basket of supply to make sure that we have security of supply at the best pricerdquo he said

PTT is open to different sources of supply and price indexationsldquo whether it is linked to crude oil JCC [Japanese Crude Cocktail] or Henry Hubrdquo Charuchinda said

Additional contractual agreements are sought in response to PTTrsquos own energy forecasts which foresee a rise in Thailandrsquos domestic energy consumption and an in-crease in the share natural gas holds in the countryrsquos energy mix in relation to coal and nuclear power generation On the other hand the countryrsquos energy reserves are fast dwindling according to PTT while pipeline gas imports from neighbouring countries are increasingly limited

PTT has so far signed two long-term agreements for a total supply of 46mtpa by 2020 In December 2012 PTT signed its first long-term LNG contract with Qatargas for the supply of 2mpta of LNG for 20 years start-ing in 2015 In December 2013 PTT signed a preliminary deal with US-based Anadarko Petroleum for the procurement of 26mpta from Mozambique starting from 2018-2019

Additional 1mtpa might be enoughIn the long term PTT might be interested in securing additional supply from North America or east Africa but having secured 46mtpa under long-term contracts an additional 1mtpa supply might be sufficient to meet the Thai buyerrsquos mid-term demand requirements a Singapore-based analyst said

ldquoPTT has realised they need more LNG but with almost 5mtpa in contracts and an additional 1mtpa under discussion they might wait and see before they start buying againrdquo said Tony Regan an analyst at Singa-pore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoPTT could be cautious and assume they might not be able to get more gas from Myanmar domestic reserves are declining and there is little potential for that to recoverrdquo he said ldquoBut I think they will wait Otherwise they are going to see prices firming because

of all this buying activity Also they have been relatively slow to develop their domestic market for regasified LNG There is a huge industry nearby but it is taking them time to secure contracts with offtakers and arrange truck lifting from the terminalrdquo

Spot procurement set to continueWhile PTT aims to meet most of its demand requirements through long-term contracts the Thai buyer will continue to supplement any shortages through spot LNG purchases

ldquoWe cannot commit [wholly] to term supply Some spot supply [will continue]rdquo Charuchinda said The company recently awarded a single-cargo buy tender for deliv-ery between 5-20 May and is in the market for additional June-delivery volumes

ldquo[PTT] has finished procurement for May [and] will now start looking for June [deliver-ies]rdquo a source close to the tender process said

PTT typically limits participation in its ten-ders to parties with which it has previously concluded master sales agreements Winners of 2013 PTT tenders include Qatari supplier Qatargas Francersquos GDF SUEZ UK-based BG Group and Anglo-Dutch major Shell Nor-wayrsquos Statoil Francersquos Total and Russiarsquos Gazprom have also participated in the 2013 tenders Abache Abreu

GSPC increases LNG market participation ahead of MundraIndian natural gas trader Gujarat State Pe-troleum Corporation (GSPC) has stepped up its short-term LNG procurement following the rupture of a 15-year contract it previ-ously held with state-owned importer GAIL

GSPC has been independently looking for cargoes since March and is no longer relying on GAIL for supplies of about eight LNG cargoes per year a source close to the situation has told ICIS

GAIL had previously sought to renegoti-ate the price of its regasified LNG supplies to GSPC on the back of increases in trans-portation tariffs and rising international LNG prices since 2011 ICIS understands

While the Supreme Court of India up-held GAILrsquos right to negotiate prices for gas delivery from 2014 both parties failed to agree on a suitable price arrangement

A document from the Supreme Court in September 2013 revealed ldquoThe fact that no agreement could be reached between GAIL and GSPC regarding the price of gas [means that] the agreement shall stand terminated with effect from 01012014 and the parties hereto shall stand relieved of their obligation under the Agreementrdquo

As a result GSPC has now increased its presence on the LNG market in order to supply downstream customers engaged in power generation steel and city gas distri-bution

The company has taken delivery of a Qatar-sourced spot cargo on 11 April at the Dahej LNG terminal ICIS understands the cargo was delivered at a landed cost in the $1630sMMBtu

The ICIS DES [delivered ex-ship] India price was assessed for the final time for

April delivery at $1645MMBtu on 14 March

GSPC awards Mundra EPC contract GSPC as the developer of what would be the state of Gujaratrsquos third LNG terminal ndash the Mundra regasification project ndash has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project to Japanrsquos Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO) it said in a statement on 14 April

The 5mtpa project on Indiarsquos west coast is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2016

Despite ground work on the terminal moving ahead GSPC has yet to find a part-ner for a 25 stake in the terminal ICIS understands

In December 2013 India Gas Solutions (IGS) ndash the 5050 joint venture of UK-based BP and Indiarsquos Reliance Industries ndash along with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Indian state companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) were all short-listed for the second round of the stake sale

However no decision has been taken as yet on the second round adding to the speculation that the terminal may miss its targeted start-up date in 2016

The state of Gujarat already has two operational LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej with sources in India noting that expansions at the two facilities may leave Mundra a second-best choice for customers in the area

ldquoThe tariffs at Mundra being a green-field project are expected to be higher compared with Dahejrdquo one source said Ranjana KaushalLudovic Aldersley

Greece in talks with infrastructure provider

Greecersquos minister of environment energy and climate change met with floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) provider Golar LNG regarding a planned import terminal in the north of the country the ministry said on 15 April Greecersquos state-owned gas supply com-pany DEPA is progressing plans to have a 3-5 billion cubic metre (bcm)year FSRU by 2017 which the European Commission considers as a project of common interest

The feasibility study and environmental impact study prepared by DEPA are currently in the final stages according to minister Yian-nis Maniatis

ldquoThe importance of the project together with the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) are major pillars of enhancing energy security of the regionrdquo the Ministry said adding its importance is further ldquore-flected by the advanced consultations with governments and companies from Bulgaria and Romaniardquo

Several LNG terminal developments have been proposed across southeast Europe with an eye on the wider regional market

Within Greece DEPArsquos FSRU proposal is one of three projects that includes expansion of the existing 5bcmyear Revithoussa terminal and a separate FSRU proposal from domestic energy conglomerate Copelouzos

ldquoGolar has expressed its interest in full participation in financing the project provid-ing significant flexibility in the implementation of the overall projectrdquo the Greek ministry said

In parallel to the LNG infrastructure projects the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector is scheduled to be sanctioned in mid-2014 ahead of a 2016 start-up with an initial 3bcmyear capacity ICIS understands Ludovic Aldersley

Taipower could extend lifespan of its nuclear power plantsTaiwanese state-owned utility Taipower could apply to extend the lifespan of its three existing nuclear plant fleet if its fourth facil-ity which is still under construction is not brought on line due to public opposition according to a company source

Taipower hopes that the plant ndash which is located in Gongliao district New Taipei City ndash can become operational next year It will be able to generate around 193TWhyear the source said

With Taipowerrsquos existing nuclear power plants heading for decommissioning in the

coming years there is a risk of power short-ages by 2016 he added

The two units of Taipowerrsquos No 1 nuclear plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018 and 2019 respectively while the two units in the second plant will expire in 2021 and 2022 The two units in the third plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024 and 2025 respectively according to Taiwanrsquos Atomic Energy Council

Taipower is considering using alterna-tive sources of energy such as natural gas and coal but feels nuclear energy has

many advantages ldquoIt will be very difficult and expensive to use alternative sources of energy to make up any shortfallrdquo the source said

The price of importing LNG is very expen-sive compared to nuclear power generation Furthermore the amount of LNG that can be imported is also limited by Taiwanrsquos LNG terminal capacity

ldquoWe would need to build additional in-frastructure such as LNG receiving terminals tanks and pipelines if we want to import enough LNG to cover the shortfall of nuclear powerrdquo the source said Hairul Borhan

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

Canadian Triton LNG receives regulatory export licence Calgary-based AltaGas and its Japanese refining partner Idemitsu have received a 25-year export licence from Canadian energy regulators for their joint small-scale LNG ex-port project

The proposed venture which would either be located near Kitimat or Prince Rupert in British Columbia envisages a floating lique-faction storage and offloading (FLSO) vessel which would include two liquefaction trains

Known as Triton LNG the project received approval to export 23mtpa on 16 April from Canadarsquos National Energy Board (NEB) as well as an additional 15 annual tolerance as per Canadian export standards

ldquoWe have determined that the quantity of gas proposed to be exported by Triton LNG is surplus to Canadian needs The board is satis-fied that the gas resource base in Canada as well as North America is large and can ac-commodate reasonably foreseeable Canadian demand the proposed LNG exports and a plausible potential increase in demandrdquo the NEB order stated

Given the abundance of shale gas in North America the US is no longer importing Cana-dian gas which has stranded the countryrsquos gas reserves and spurred LNG export projects to be developed along the west coast of British Columbia

The Western Canadian export projects are targeting premium northeast Asian markets and Asian companies such as Idemitsu have partnered directly with project proponents through equity and offtake agreements in order to help commercialise the gas

However the Canadian liquefaction ventures and associated pipelines which are developed at a greenfield cost have stalled in reaching final investment because of the cost uncertainties associated with developing in such a rugged and remote environment

Canadarsquos provincial government officials and regulatory authorities have viewed themselves as backers of the LNG industry promoting the country as a desirable location to develop large energy infrastructure projects such as LNG exports

The next project awaiting its export licence is Goldboro LNG a scheme developed by Pieri-dae Energy in Guysborough Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada The 10mpta project has a 5mpta agreement in place with German utility EON on a European hub-indexation The project seeks to supply the LNG by requesting a flow reversal on the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline that runs from Canada to the US

The gap between the NEBrsquos last approval ndash on 16 December 2013 ndash and the Triton LNG approval on 16 April perhaps signals a more cautious approach by the government

While not as lengthy as the time that it took for the US Freeport LNG project to receive its long-awaited non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export licence from the US Depart-ment of Energy (DOE) the four-month pause between the Canadian projects has been the longest time period yet between approvals

In the interim the NEB also approved a 25-year application in February for a US pro-ject proposed on the west coast the planned 6mpta Jordan Cove venture developed by Cal-gary-based infrastructure company Veresen The Jordan Cove scheme proposes importing Canadian pipeline gas into the US and then bringing the volumes to the greenfield site in southwest Oregon to export as LNG

Triton LNG is the ninth project with a Cana-dian export licence

The NEB approved a batch of four projects in December 2013 These included BG Grouprsquos Prince Rupert facility Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest the ExxonMobil-Imperial Oil venture WCC and the Woodfibre LNG export project developed by the Singa-pore energy company Pacific Oil amp Gas

Royal Dutch Shell is leading a consortium with Chinarsquos PetroChina Japanese trading company Mitsubishi and Korearsquos KOGAS for a planned 12mtpa facility in Kitimat

The first Canadian project to receive its ex-port licence was in October 2011 the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG project which is now being jointly marketed by US-based producer Chevron and exploration and production com-pany Apache Corporation Ruth Liao

GIIGNL corrects annual reportA mid-term agreement between the An-gola LNG consortium and Brazilrsquos state-run Petrobras in the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL) report published on 8 April was incorrect according to the organi-sation The initial report stated that the two companies reached an agreement in 2013 for

400000 tonnes per annum on a four-year basis on delivered ex-ship (DES) terms

The information was considered incor-rectly documented as a wrong assumption and GIIGNL has since reissued a final report on its website removing the contract infor-mation Ruth Liao

Russia aims to finalise gas talks with China by MayRussiarsquos incumbent producer Gazprom hopes to finalise a 30-year gas agreement to supply China prior to President Vladimir Pu-tinrsquos approaching visit Arkady Dvorkovich Russiarsquos deputy prime minister said on 14 April as quoted by the Russian media

ldquoOn gas the talks are nearing a close and there is a mutual intention to finish this work before the Russian presidentrsquos visit in Mayrdquo Dvorkovich said during a televised government meeting

ldquoConsultations are ongoing and Gazpromrsquos management are holding talks with Chinese partners on the contract terms We hope to conclude the contract in May and believe it should come into effect by the year endrdquo Dvorkovich said

The agreement would involve the export of 38 billion cubic metres (bcm)year of pipe-line gas starting in 2018

Volumes could be ramped up to 70bcmyear over the course of 30 years The framework agreement between Gazprom and government-controlled China National Petroleum Corporation was signed back in 2009

Negotiations have taken place over the course of the last 10 years with pricing seen as the main roadblock to reaching the agree-ment

However with growing political tensions over Russiarsquos involvement in Ukrainersquos crisis and the subsequent annexation of Crimea China could have gained a bargaining ad-vantage with the potential increasing isola-tion of Russia from western gas markets

Russia has been actively seeking alterna-tive markets in Asia to export gas either through pipeline from fields mainly in Si-beria and the Russian Far East or as LNG to decrease dependence on European imports Russia has few exports markets for gas out-side Europe

lsquoEconomic sanctions from the EU cou-pled with potential competition of shale gas exports from the US ndash as LNG or shale gas develops in Europe ndash could mean a diminish-ing market for Russian gas

As a result Russian export strategy has become mainly Asia-oriented with the po-tential development of several LNG projects including Vladivostok and the expansion of the Sakhalin-2 LNG project with another train

China needs gas to satisfy its growing energy needs as well as to replace coal-fired power generation in densely populated parts of the country Roman Kazmin

Japanrsquos energy plan warns about LNG dependenceJapanrsquos cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sources of power generation and relegates LNG to an inter-mediate load source status according to the plan released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) on 11 April The energy plan which lays out the countryrsquos energy policies for the next 20 years warned about the need to avoid exces-sive reliance on high-priced LNG imports as a substitution for nuclear power generation but did not include any numerical targets for the countryrsquos long-term energy mix

ldquoJapan should avoid excessive depen-dence on LNG as a source of power genera-tion and promote cost reductions by diversify-ing its supply sourcesrdquo the plan said

The plan suggests a number of actions that can be taken at the corporate and in-stitutional levels to reduce the cost of LNG imports such as diversifying contract price indexations eliminating destination restric-tions increasing investment in upstream developments and supporting joint procure-ment agreements to increase buyersrsquo bar-gaining power

ldquoIt is necessary to continue to support strategic efforts towards joint procurementrdquo the plan said

The plan anticipates that US shale gas exports will have a positive impact on the Japanese and global markets from 2017 as these contracts will be linked to the US Henry Hub gas benchmark and will not include a destination restriction clause which means offtakers will be able to trade volumes inter-nationally

ldquoUS LNG will contribute not only to the improvement of the global trading environ-ment but also to the creation of an LNG futures marketrdquo the plan said

Fourth planJapanrsquos energy plan which was drafted in December 2013 but only released by METI for cabinet approval on 18 March is the countryrsquos fourth basic energy plan and the first one formulated since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Since then Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90

The plan highlights the key role that coal and nuclear power sources are expected to play in the countryrsquos energy mix (For more on this see the Focus on Japan)

The plan re-evaluated the key role that nuclear power is to play in the countryrsquos en-ergy mix and states that Japan will proceed to

restart those nuclear reactors that have suc-cessfully passed the safety assessments by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) and have received approval by the local governments

This reverses the previous Democratic Party of Japan governmentrsquos decision to phase out nuclear power generation by 2040 in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster

Nuclear energy remains an efficient abundant and stable source of power sup-ply which can be domestically produced at relatively low operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions the plan said The priority lies in ensuring the safety of the nuclear power plants it added

Power market liberalisation by 2020The plan highlighted the importance of reforms aimed at liberalising the downstream power markets The full liberalisation of the downstream power generation and retail markets are being advanced through three stages with completion of stage three expected in 2020 the plan said

ldquoBy promoting legal neutrality in the power transmission and distribution sector we will tackle limitations in the conventional power system and increase investment in the power distribution networkrdquo the plan said Abache Abreu

Thailandrsquos PTT in talks for up to 1mtpa of long-term supply from BP

Thailandrsquos state-owned buyer PTT is in discussions with UK-headquartered oil and gas major BP for the long-term supply of up to 1mtpa of LNG on a delivered ex ship (DES) basis starting from 2015 a PTT company offi-cial said in a telephone interview on 11 April

ldquoWe are in discussions with many suppli-ers to make sure we have the best deal for the best interest of the countryrdquo said Nutta-chat Charuchinda chief operations officer of PTTrsquos downstream petroleum business group

ldquoWe would like to see the best options that are available to us [hellip] a basket of supply to make sure that we have security of supply at the best pricerdquo he said

PTT is open to different sources of supply and price indexationsldquo whether it is linked to crude oil JCC [Japanese Crude Cocktail] or Henry Hubrdquo Charuchinda said

Additional contractual agreements are sought in response to PTTrsquos own energy forecasts which foresee a rise in Thailandrsquos domestic energy consumption and an in-crease in the share natural gas holds in the countryrsquos energy mix in relation to coal and nuclear power generation On the other hand the countryrsquos energy reserves are fast dwindling according to PTT while pipeline gas imports from neighbouring countries are increasingly limited

PTT has so far signed two long-term agreements for a total supply of 46mtpa by 2020 In December 2012 PTT signed its first long-term LNG contract with Qatargas for the supply of 2mpta of LNG for 20 years start-ing in 2015 In December 2013 PTT signed a preliminary deal with US-based Anadarko Petroleum for the procurement of 26mpta from Mozambique starting from 2018-2019

Additional 1mtpa might be enoughIn the long term PTT might be interested in securing additional supply from North America or east Africa but having secured 46mtpa under long-term contracts an additional 1mtpa supply might be sufficient to meet the Thai buyerrsquos mid-term demand requirements a Singapore-based analyst said

ldquoPTT has realised they need more LNG but with almost 5mtpa in contracts and an additional 1mtpa under discussion they might wait and see before they start buying againrdquo said Tony Regan an analyst at Singa-pore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoPTT could be cautious and assume they might not be able to get more gas from Myanmar domestic reserves are declining and there is little potential for that to recoverrdquo he said ldquoBut I think they will wait Otherwise they are going to see prices firming because

of all this buying activity Also they have been relatively slow to develop their domestic market for regasified LNG There is a huge industry nearby but it is taking them time to secure contracts with offtakers and arrange truck lifting from the terminalrdquo

Spot procurement set to continueWhile PTT aims to meet most of its demand requirements through long-term contracts the Thai buyer will continue to supplement any shortages through spot LNG purchases

ldquoWe cannot commit [wholly] to term supply Some spot supply [will continue]rdquo Charuchinda said The company recently awarded a single-cargo buy tender for deliv-ery between 5-20 May and is in the market for additional June-delivery volumes

ldquo[PTT] has finished procurement for May [and] will now start looking for June [deliver-ies]rdquo a source close to the tender process said

PTT typically limits participation in its ten-ders to parties with which it has previously concluded master sales agreements Winners of 2013 PTT tenders include Qatari supplier Qatargas Francersquos GDF SUEZ UK-based BG Group and Anglo-Dutch major Shell Nor-wayrsquos Statoil Francersquos Total and Russiarsquos Gazprom have also participated in the 2013 tenders Abache Abreu

GSPC increases LNG market participation ahead of MundraIndian natural gas trader Gujarat State Pe-troleum Corporation (GSPC) has stepped up its short-term LNG procurement following the rupture of a 15-year contract it previ-ously held with state-owned importer GAIL

GSPC has been independently looking for cargoes since March and is no longer relying on GAIL for supplies of about eight LNG cargoes per year a source close to the situation has told ICIS

GAIL had previously sought to renegoti-ate the price of its regasified LNG supplies to GSPC on the back of increases in trans-portation tariffs and rising international LNG prices since 2011 ICIS understands

While the Supreme Court of India up-held GAILrsquos right to negotiate prices for gas delivery from 2014 both parties failed to agree on a suitable price arrangement

A document from the Supreme Court in September 2013 revealed ldquoThe fact that no agreement could be reached between GAIL and GSPC regarding the price of gas [means that] the agreement shall stand terminated with effect from 01012014 and the parties hereto shall stand relieved of their obligation under the Agreementrdquo

As a result GSPC has now increased its presence on the LNG market in order to supply downstream customers engaged in power generation steel and city gas distri-bution

The company has taken delivery of a Qatar-sourced spot cargo on 11 April at the Dahej LNG terminal ICIS understands the cargo was delivered at a landed cost in the $1630sMMBtu

The ICIS DES [delivered ex-ship] India price was assessed for the final time for

April delivery at $1645MMBtu on 14 March

GSPC awards Mundra EPC contract GSPC as the developer of what would be the state of Gujaratrsquos third LNG terminal ndash the Mundra regasification project ndash has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project to Japanrsquos Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO) it said in a statement on 14 April

The 5mtpa project on Indiarsquos west coast is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2016

Despite ground work on the terminal moving ahead GSPC has yet to find a part-ner for a 25 stake in the terminal ICIS understands

In December 2013 India Gas Solutions (IGS) ndash the 5050 joint venture of UK-based BP and Indiarsquos Reliance Industries ndash along with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Indian state companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) were all short-listed for the second round of the stake sale

However no decision has been taken as yet on the second round adding to the speculation that the terminal may miss its targeted start-up date in 2016

The state of Gujarat already has two operational LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej with sources in India noting that expansions at the two facilities may leave Mundra a second-best choice for customers in the area

ldquoThe tariffs at Mundra being a green-field project are expected to be higher compared with Dahejrdquo one source said Ranjana KaushalLudovic Aldersley

Greece in talks with infrastructure provider

Greecersquos minister of environment energy and climate change met with floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) provider Golar LNG regarding a planned import terminal in the north of the country the ministry said on 15 April Greecersquos state-owned gas supply com-pany DEPA is progressing plans to have a 3-5 billion cubic metre (bcm)year FSRU by 2017 which the European Commission considers as a project of common interest

The feasibility study and environmental impact study prepared by DEPA are currently in the final stages according to minister Yian-nis Maniatis

ldquoThe importance of the project together with the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) are major pillars of enhancing energy security of the regionrdquo the Ministry said adding its importance is further ldquore-flected by the advanced consultations with governments and companies from Bulgaria and Romaniardquo

Several LNG terminal developments have been proposed across southeast Europe with an eye on the wider regional market

Within Greece DEPArsquos FSRU proposal is one of three projects that includes expansion of the existing 5bcmyear Revithoussa terminal and a separate FSRU proposal from domestic energy conglomerate Copelouzos

ldquoGolar has expressed its interest in full participation in financing the project provid-ing significant flexibility in the implementation of the overall projectrdquo the Greek ministry said

In parallel to the LNG infrastructure projects the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector is scheduled to be sanctioned in mid-2014 ahead of a 2016 start-up with an initial 3bcmyear capacity ICIS understands Ludovic Aldersley

Taipower could extend lifespan of its nuclear power plantsTaiwanese state-owned utility Taipower could apply to extend the lifespan of its three existing nuclear plant fleet if its fourth facil-ity which is still under construction is not brought on line due to public opposition according to a company source

Taipower hopes that the plant ndash which is located in Gongliao district New Taipei City ndash can become operational next year It will be able to generate around 193TWhyear the source said

With Taipowerrsquos existing nuclear power plants heading for decommissioning in the

coming years there is a risk of power short-ages by 2016 he added

The two units of Taipowerrsquos No 1 nuclear plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018 and 2019 respectively while the two units in the second plant will expire in 2021 and 2022 The two units in the third plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024 and 2025 respectively according to Taiwanrsquos Atomic Energy Council

Taipower is considering using alterna-tive sources of energy such as natural gas and coal but feels nuclear energy has

many advantages ldquoIt will be very difficult and expensive to use alternative sources of energy to make up any shortfallrdquo the source said

The price of importing LNG is very expen-sive compared to nuclear power generation Furthermore the amount of LNG that can be imported is also limited by Taiwanrsquos LNG terminal capacity

ldquoWe would need to build additional in-frastructure such as LNG receiving terminals tanks and pipelines if we want to import enough LNG to cover the shortfall of nuclear powerrdquo the source said Hairul Borhan

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS for the daily European Gas Fundamentals report

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

Canadian Triton LNG receives regulatory export licence Calgary-based AltaGas and its Japanese refining partner Idemitsu have received a 25-year export licence from Canadian energy regulators for their joint small-scale LNG ex-port project

The proposed venture which would either be located near Kitimat or Prince Rupert in British Columbia envisages a floating lique-faction storage and offloading (FLSO) vessel which would include two liquefaction trains

Known as Triton LNG the project received approval to export 23mtpa on 16 April from Canadarsquos National Energy Board (NEB) as well as an additional 15 annual tolerance as per Canadian export standards

ldquoWe have determined that the quantity of gas proposed to be exported by Triton LNG is surplus to Canadian needs The board is satis-fied that the gas resource base in Canada as well as North America is large and can ac-commodate reasonably foreseeable Canadian demand the proposed LNG exports and a plausible potential increase in demandrdquo the NEB order stated

Given the abundance of shale gas in North America the US is no longer importing Cana-dian gas which has stranded the countryrsquos gas reserves and spurred LNG export projects to be developed along the west coast of British Columbia

The Western Canadian export projects are targeting premium northeast Asian markets and Asian companies such as Idemitsu have partnered directly with project proponents through equity and offtake agreements in order to help commercialise the gas

However the Canadian liquefaction ventures and associated pipelines which are developed at a greenfield cost have stalled in reaching final investment because of the cost uncertainties associated with developing in such a rugged and remote environment

Canadarsquos provincial government officials and regulatory authorities have viewed themselves as backers of the LNG industry promoting the country as a desirable location to develop large energy infrastructure projects such as LNG exports

The next project awaiting its export licence is Goldboro LNG a scheme developed by Pieri-dae Energy in Guysborough Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada The 10mpta project has a 5mpta agreement in place with German utility EON on a European hub-indexation The project seeks to supply the LNG by requesting a flow reversal on the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline that runs from Canada to the US

The gap between the NEBrsquos last approval ndash on 16 December 2013 ndash and the Triton LNG approval on 16 April perhaps signals a more cautious approach by the government

While not as lengthy as the time that it took for the US Freeport LNG project to receive its long-awaited non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export licence from the US Depart-ment of Energy (DOE) the four-month pause between the Canadian projects has been the longest time period yet between approvals

In the interim the NEB also approved a 25-year application in February for a US pro-ject proposed on the west coast the planned 6mpta Jordan Cove venture developed by Cal-gary-based infrastructure company Veresen The Jordan Cove scheme proposes importing Canadian pipeline gas into the US and then bringing the volumes to the greenfield site in southwest Oregon to export as LNG

Triton LNG is the ninth project with a Cana-dian export licence

The NEB approved a batch of four projects in December 2013 These included BG Grouprsquos Prince Rupert facility Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest the ExxonMobil-Imperial Oil venture WCC and the Woodfibre LNG export project developed by the Singa-pore energy company Pacific Oil amp Gas

Royal Dutch Shell is leading a consortium with Chinarsquos PetroChina Japanese trading company Mitsubishi and Korearsquos KOGAS for a planned 12mtpa facility in Kitimat

The first Canadian project to receive its ex-port licence was in October 2011 the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG project which is now being jointly marketed by US-based producer Chevron and exploration and production com-pany Apache Corporation Ruth Liao

GIIGNL corrects annual reportA mid-term agreement between the An-gola LNG consortium and Brazilrsquos state-run Petrobras in the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL) report published on 8 April was incorrect according to the organi-sation The initial report stated that the two companies reached an agreement in 2013 for

400000 tonnes per annum on a four-year basis on delivered ex-ship (DES) terms

The information was considered incor-rectly documented as a wrong assumption and GIIGNL has since reissued a final report on its website removing the contract infor-mation Ruth Liao

Russia aims to finalise gas talks with China by MayRussiarsquos incumbent producer Gazprom hopes to finalise a 30-year gas agreement to supply China prior to President Vladimir Pu-tinrsquos approaching visit Arkady Dvorkovich Russiarsquos deputy prime minister said on 14 April as quoted by the Russian media

ldquoOn gas the talks are nearing a close and there is a mutual intention to finish this work before the Russian presidentrsquos visit in Mayrdquo Dvorkovich said during a televised government meeting

ldquoConsultations are ongoing and Gazpromrsquos management are holding talks with Chinese partners on the contract terms We hope to conclude the contract in May and believe it should come into effect by the year endrdquo Dvorkovich said

The agreement would involve the export of 38 billion cubic metres (bcm)year of pipe-line gas starting in 2018

Volumes could be ramped up to 70bcmyear over the course of 30 years The framework agreement between Gazprom and government-controlled China National Petroleum Corporation was signed back in 2009

Negotiations have taken place over the course of the last 10 years with pricing seen as the main roadblock to reaching the agree-ment

However with growing political tensions over Russiarsquos involvement in Ukrainersquos crisis and the subsequent annexation of Crimea China could have gained a bargaining ad-vantage with the potential increasing isola-tion of Russia from western gas markets

Russia has been actively seeking alterna-tive markets in Asia to export gas either through pipeline from fields mainly in Si-beria and the Russian Far East or as LNG to decrease dependence on European imports Russia has few exports markets for gas out-side Europe

lsquoEconomic sanctions from the EU cou-pled with potential competition of shale gas exports from the US ndash as LNG or shale gas develops in Europe ndash could mean a diminish-ing market for Russian gas

As a result Russian export strategy has become mainly Asia-oriented with the po-tential development of several LNG projects including Vladivostok and the expansion of the Sakhalin-2 LNG project with another train

China needs gas to satisfy its growing energy needs as well as to replace coal-fired power generation in densely populated parts of the country Roman Kazmin

Japanrsquos energy plan warns about LNG dependenceJapanrsquos cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sources of power generation and relegates LNG to an inter-mediate load source status according to the plan released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) on 11 April The energy plan which lays out the countryrsquos energy policies for the next 20 years warned about the need to avoid exces-sive reliance on high-priced LNG imports as a substitution for nuclear power generation but did not include any numerical targets for the countryrsquos long-term energy mix

ldquoJapan should avoid excessive depen-dence on LNG as a source of power genera-tion and promote cost reductions by diversify-ing its supply sourcesrdquo the plan said

The plan suggests a number of actions that can be taken at the corporate and in-stitutional levels to reduce the cost of LNG imports such as diversifying contract price indexations eliminating destination restric-tions increasing investment in upstream developments and supporting joint procure-ment agreements to increase buyersrsquo bar-gaining power

ldquoIt is necessary to continue to support strategic efforts towards joint procurementrdquo the plan said

The plan anticipates that US shale gas exports will have a positive impact on the Japanese and global markets from 2017 as these contracts will be linked to the US Henry Hub gas benchmark and will not include a destination restriction clause which means offtakers will be able to trade volumes inter-nationally

ldquoUS LNG will contribute not only to the improvement of the global trading environ-ment but also to the creation of an LNG futures marketrdquo the plan said

Fourth planJapanrsquos energy plan which was drafted in December 2013 but only released by METI for cabinet approval on 18 March is the countryrsquos fourth basic energy plan and the first one formulated since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Since then Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90

The plan highlights the key role that coal and nuclear power sources are expected to play in the countryrsquos energy mix (For more on this see the Focus on Japan)

The plan re-evaluated the key role that nuclear power is to play in the countryrsquos en-ergy mix and states that Japan will proceed to

restart those nuclear reactors that have suc-cessfully passed the safety assessments by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) and have received approval by the local governments

This reverses the previous Democratic Party of Japan governmentrsquos decision to phase out nuclear power generation by 2040 in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster

Nuclear energy remains an efficient abundant and stable source of power sup-ply which can be domestically produced at relatively low operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions the plan said The priority lies in ensuring the safety of the nuclear power plants it added

Power market liberalisation by 2020The plan highlighted the importance of reforms aimed at liberalising the downstream power markets The full liberalisation of the downstream power generation and retail markets are being advanced through three stages with completion of stage three expected in 2020 the plan said

ldquoBy promoting legal neutrality in the power transmission and distribution sector we will tackle limitations in the conventional power system and increase investment in the power distribution networkrdquo the plan said Abache Abreu

Thailandrsquos PTT in talks for up to 1mtpa of long-term supply from BP

Thailandrsquos state-owned buyer PTT is in discussions with UK-headquartered oil and gas major BP for the long-term supply of up to 1mtpa of LNG on a delivered ex ship (DES) basis starting from 2015 a PTT company offi-cial said in a telephone interview on 11 April

ldquoWe are in discussions with many suppli-ers to make sure we have the best deal for the best interest of the countryrdquo said Nutta-chat Charuchinda chief operations officer of PTTrsquos downstream petroleum business group

ldquoWe would like to see the best options that are available to us [hellip] a basket of supply to make sure that we have security of supply at the best pricerdquo he said

PTT is open to different sources of supply and price indexationsldquo whether it is linked to crude oil JCC [Japanese Crude Cocktail] or Henry Hubrdquo Charuchinda said

Additional contractual agreements are sought in response to PTTrsquos own energy forecasts which foresee a rise in Thailandrsquos domestic energy consumption and an in-crease in the share natural gas holds in the countryrsquos energy mix in relation to coal and nuclear power generation On the other hand the countryrsquos energy reserves are fast dwindling according to PTT while pipeline gas imports from neighbouring countries are increasingly limited

PTT has so far signed two long-term agreements for a total supply of 46mtpa by 2020 In December 2012 PTT signed its first long-term LNG contract with Qatargas for the supply of 2mpta of LNG for 20 years start-ing in 2015 In December 2013 PTT signed a preliminary deal with US-based Anadarko Petroleum for the procurement of 26mpta from Mozambique starting from 2018-2019

Additional 1mtpa might be enoughIn the long term PTT might be interested in securing additional supply from North America or east Africa but having secured 46mtpa under long-term contracts an additional 1mtpa supply might be sufficient to meet the Thai buyerrsquos mid-term demand requirements a Singapore-based analyst said

ldquoPTT has realised they need more LNG but with almost 5mtpa in contracts and an additional 1mtpa under discussion they might wait and see before they start buying againrdquo said Tony Regan an analyst at Singa-pore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoPTT could be cautious and assume they might not be able to get more gas from Myanmar domestic reserves are declining and there is little potential for that to recoverrdquo he said ldquoBut I think they will wait Otherwise they are going to see prices firming because

of all this buying activity Also they have been relatively slow to develop their domestic market for regasified LNG There is a huge industry nearby but it is taking them time to secure contracts with offtakers and arrange truck lifting from the terminalrdquo

Spot procurement set to continueWhile PTT aims to meet most of its demand requirements through long-term contracts the Thai buyer will continue to supplement any shortages through spot LNG purchases

ldquoWe cannot commit [wholly] to term supply Some spot supply [will continue]rdquo Charuchinda said The company recently awarded a single-cargo buy tender for deliv-ery between 5-20 May and is in the market for additional June-delivery volumes

ldquo[PTT] has finished procurement for May [and] will now start looking for June [deliver-ies]rdquo a source close to the tender process said

PTT typically limits participation in its ten-ders to parties with which it has previously concluded master sales agreements Winners of 2013 PTT tenders include Qatari supplier Qatargas Francersquos GDF SUEZ UK-based BG Group and Anglo-Dutch major Shell Nor-wayrsquos Statoil Francersquos Total and Russiarsquos Gazprom have also participated in the 2013 tenders Abache Abreu

GSPC increases LNG market participation ahead of MundraIndian natural gas trader Gujarat State Pe-troleum Corporation (GSPC) has stepped up its short-term LNG procurement following the rupture of a 15-year contract it previ-ously held with state-owned importer GAIL

GSPC has been independently looking for cargoes since March and is no longer relying on GAIL for supplies of about eight LNG cargoes per year a source close to the situation has told ICIS

GAIL had previously sought to renegoti-ate the price of its regasified LNG supplies to GSPC on the back of increases in trans-portation tariffs and rising international LNG prices since 2011 ICIS understands

While the Supreme Court of India up-held GAILrsquos right to negotiate prices for gas delivery from 2014 both parties failed to agree on a suitable price arrangement

A document from the Supreme Court in September 2013 revealed ldquoThe fact that no agreement could be reached between GAIL and GSPC regarding the price of gas [means that] the agreement shall stand terminated with effect from 01012014 and the parties hereto shall stand relieved of their obligation under the Agreementrdquo

As a result GSPC has now increased its presence on the LNG market in order to supply downstream customers engaged in power generation steel and city gas distri-bution

The company has taken delivery of a Qatar-sourced spot cargo on 11 April at the Dahej LNG terminal ICIS understands the cargo was delivered at a landed cost in the $1630sMMBtu

The ICIS DES [delivered ex-ship] India price was assessed for the final time for

April delivery at $1645MMBtu on 14 March

GSPC awards Mundra EPC contract GSPC as the developer of what would be the state of Gujaratrsquos third LNG terminal ndash the Mundra regasification project ndash has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project to Japanrsquos Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO) it said in a statement on 14 April

The 5mtpa project on Indiarsquos west coast is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2016

Despite ground work on the terminal moving ahead GSPC has yet to find a part-ner for a 25 stake in the terminal ICIS understands

In December 2013 India Gas Solutions (IGS) ndash the 5050 joint venture of UK-based BP and Indiarsquos Reliance Industries ndash along with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Indian state companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) were all short-listed for the second round of the stake sale

However no decision has been taken as yet on the second round adding to the speculation that the terminal may miss its targeted start-up date in 2016

The state of Gujarat already has two operational LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej with sources in India noting that expansions at the two facilities may leave Mundra a second-best choice for customers in the area

ldquoThe tariffs at Mundra being a green-field project are expected to be higher compared with Dahejrdquo one source said Ranjana KaushalLudovic Aldersley

Greece in talks with infrastructure provider

Greecersquos minister of environment energy and climate change met with floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) provider Golar LNG regarding a planned import terminal in the north of the country the ministry said on 15 April Greecersquos state-owned gas supply com-pany DEPA is progressing plans to have a 3-5 billion cubic metre (bcm)year FSRU by 2017 which the European Commission considers as a project of common interest

The feasibility study and environmental impact study prepared by DEPA are currently in the final stages according to minister Yian-nis Maniatis

ldquoThe importance of the project together with the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) are major pillars of enhancing energy security of the regionrdquo the Ministry said adding its importance is further ldquore-flected by the advanced consultations with governments and companies from Bulgaria and Romaniardquo

Several LNG terminal developments have been proposed across southeast Europe with an eye on the wider regional market

Within Greece DEPArsquos FSRU proposal is one of three projects that includes expansion of the existing 5bcmyear Revithoussa terminal and a separate FSRU proposal from domestic energy conglomerate Copelouzos

ldquoGolar has expressed its interest in full participation in financing the project provid-ing significant flexibility in the implementation of the overall projectrdquo the Greek ministry said

In parallel to the LNG infrastructure projects the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector is scheduled to be sanctioned in mid-2014 ahead of a 2016 start-up with an initial 3bcmyear capacity ICIS understands Ludovic Aldersley

Taipower could extend lifespan of its nuclear power plantsTaiwanese state-owned utility Taipower could apply to extend the lifespan of its three existing nuclear plant fleet if its fourth facil-ity which is still under construction is not brought on line due to public opposition according to a company source

Taipower hopes that the plant ndash which is located in Gongliao district New Taipei City ndash can become operational next year It will be able to generate around 193TWhyear the source said

With Taipowerrsquos existing nuclear power plants heading for decommissioning in the

coming years there is a risk of power short-ages by 2016 he added

The two units of Taipowerrsquos No 1 nuclear plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018 and 2019 respectively while the two units in the second plant will expire in 2021 and 2022 The two units in the third plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024 and 2025 respectively according to Taiwanrsquos Atomic Energy Council

Taipower is considering using alterna-tive sources of energy such as natural gas and coal but feels nuclear energy has

many advantages ldquoIt will be very difficult and expensive to use alternative sources of energy to make up any shortfallrdquo the source said

The price of importing LNG is very expen-sive compared to nuclear power generation Furthermore the amount of LNG that can be imported is also limited by Taiwanrsquos LNG terminal capacity

ldquoWe would need to build additional in-frastructure such as LNG receiving terminals tanks and pipelines if we want to import enough LNG to cover the shortfall of nuclear powerrdquo the source said Hairul Borhan

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

Focus

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

Market reforms are meant to encourage the

entry of new participants

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

Canadian Triton LNG receives regulatory export licence Calgary-based AltaGas and its Japanese refining partner Idemitsu have received a 25-year export licence from Canadian energy regulators for their joint small-scale LNG ex-port project

The proposed venture which would either be located near Kitimat or Prince Rupert in British Columbia envisages a floating lique-faction storage and offloading (FLSO) vessel which would include two liquefaction trains

Known as Triton LNG the project received approval to export 23mtpa on 16 April from Canadarsquos National Energy Board (NEB) as well as an additional 15 annual tolerance as per Canadian export standards

ldquoWe have determined that the quantity of gas proposed to be exported by Triton LNG is surplus to Canadian needs The board is satis-fied that the gas resource base in Canada as well as North America is large and can ac-commodate reasonably foreseeable Canadian demand the proposed LNG exports and a plausible potential increase in demandrdquo the NEB order stated

Given the abundance of shale gas in North America the US is no longer importing Cana-dian gas which has stranded the countryrsquos gas reserves and spurred LNG export projects to be developed along the west coast of British Columbia

The Western Canadian export projects are targeting premium northeast Asian markets and Asian companies such as Idemitsu have partnered directly with project proponents through equity and offtake agreements in order to help commercialise the gas

However the Canadian liquefaction ventures and associated pipelines which are developed at a greenfield cost have stalled in reaching final investment because of the cost uncertainties associated with developing in such a rugged and remote environment

Canadarsquos provincial government officials and regulatory authorities have viewed themselves as backers of the LNG industry promoting the country as a desirable location to develop large energy infrastructure projects such as LNG exports

The next project awaiting its export licence is Goldboro LNG a scheme developed by Pieri-dae Energy in Guysborough Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada The 10mpta project has a 5mpta agreement in place with German utility EON on a European hub-indexation The project seeks to supply the LNG by requesting a flow reversal on the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline that runs from Canada to the US

The gap between the NEBrsquos last approval ndash on 16 December 2013 ndash and the Triton LNG approval on 16 April perhaps signals a more cautious approach by the government

While not as lengthy as the time that it took for the US Freeport LNG project to receive its long-awaited non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export licence from the US Depart-ment of Energy (DOE) the four-month pause between the Canadian projects has been the longest time period yet between approvals

In the interim the NEB also approved a 25-year application in February for a US pro-ject proposed on the west coast the planned 6mpta Jordan Cove venture developed by Cal-gary-based infrastructure company Veresen The Jordan Cove scheme proposes importing Canadian pipeline gas into the US and then bringing the volumes to the greenfield site in southwest Oregon to export as LNG

Triton LNG is the ninth project with a Cana-dian export licence

The NEB approved a batch of four projects in December 2013 These included BG Grouprsquos Prince Rupert facility Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest the ExxonMobil-Imperial Oil venture WCC and the Woodfibre LNG export project developed by the Singa-pore energy company Pacific Oil amp Gas

Royal Dutch Shell is leading a consortium with Chinarsquos PetroChina Japanese trading company Mitsubishi and Korearsquos KOGAS for a planned 12mtpa facility in Kitimat

The first Canadian project to receive its ex-port licence was in October 2011 the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG project which is now being jointly marketed by US-based producer Chevron and exploration and production com-pany Apache Corporation Ruth Liao

GIIGNL corrects annual reportA mid-term agreement between the An-gola LNG consortium and Brazilrsquos state-run Petrobras in the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL) report published on 8 April was incorrect according to the organi-sation The initial report stated that the two companies reached an agreement in 2013 for

400000 tonnes per annum on a four-year basis on delivered ex-ship (DES) terms

The information was considered incor-rectly documented as a wrong assumption and GIIGNL has since reissued a final report on its website removing the contract infor-mation Ruth Liao

Russia aims to finalise gas talks with China by MayRussiarsquos incumbent producer Gazprom hopes to finalise a 30-year gas agreement to supply China prior to President Vladimir Pu-tinrsquos approaching visit Arkady Dvorkovich Russiarsquos deputy prime minister said on 14 April as quoted by the Russian media

ldquoOn gas the talks are nearing a close and there is a mutual intention to finish this work before the Russian presidentrsquos visit in Mayrdquo Dvorkovich said during a televised government meeting

ldquoConsultations are ongoing and Gazpromrsquos management are holding talks with Chinese partners on the contract terms We hope to conclude the contract in May and believe it should come into effect by the year endrdquo Dvorkovich said

The agreement would involve the export of 38 billion cubic metres (bcm)year of pipe-line gas starting in 2018

Volumes could be ramped up to 70bcmyear over the course of 30 years The framework agreement between Gazprom and government-controlled China National Petroleum Corporation was signed back in 2009

Negotiations have taken place over the course of the last 10 years with pricing seen as the main roadblock to reaching the agree-ment

However with growing political tensions over Russiarsquos involvement in Ukrainersquos crisis and the subsequent annexation of Crimea China could have gained a bargaining ad-vantage with the potential increasing isola-tion of Russia from western gas markets

Russia has been actively seeking alterna-tive markets in Asia to export gas either through pipeline from fields mainly in Si-beria and the Russian Far East or as LNG to decrease dependence on European imports Russia has few exports markets for gas out-side Europe

lsquoEconomic sanctions from the EU cou-pled with potential competition of shale gas exports from the US ndash as LNG or shale gas develops in Europe ndash could mean a diminish-ing market for Russian gas

As a result Russian export strategy has become mainly Asia-oriented with the po-tential development of several LNG projects including Vladivostok and the expansion of the Sakhalin-2 LNG project with another train

China needs gas to satisfy its growing energy needs as well as to replace coal-fired power generation in densely populated parts of the country Roman Kazmin

Japanrsquos energy plan warns about LNG dependenceJapanrsquos cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sources of power generation and relegates LNG to an inter-mediate load source status according to the plan released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) on 11 April The energy plan which lays out the countryrsquos energy policies for the next 20 years warned about the need to avoid exces-sive reliance on high-priced LNG imports as a substitution for nuclear power generation but did not include any numerical targets for the countryrsquos long-term energy mix

ldquoJapan should avoid excessive depen-dence on LNG as a source of power genera-tion and promote cost reductions by diversify-ing its supply sourcesrdquo the plan said

The plan suggests a number of actions that can be taken at the corporate and in-stitutional levels to reduce the cost of LNG imports such as diversifying contract price indexations eliminating destination restric-tions increasing investment in upstream developments and supporting joint procure-ment agreements to increase buyersrsquo bar-gaining power

ldquoIt is necessary to continue to support strategic efforts towards joint procurementrdquo the plan said

The plan anticipates that US shale gas exports will have a positive impact on the Japanese and global markets from 2017 as these contracts will be linked to the US Henry Hub gas benchmark and will not include a destination restriction clause which means offtakers will be able to trade volumes inter-nationally

ldquoUS LNG will contribute not only to the improvement of the global trading environ-ment but also to the creation of an LNG futures marketrdquo the plan said

Fourth planJapanrsquos energy plan which was drafted in December 2013 but only released by METI for cabinet approval on 18 March is the countryrsquos fourth basic energy plan and the first one formulated since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Since then Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90

The plan highlights the key role that coal and nuclear power sources are expected to play in the countryrsquos energy mix (For more on this see the Focus on Japan)

The plan re-evaluated the key role that nuclear power is to play in the countryrsquos en-ergy mix and states that Japan will proceed to

restart those nuclear reactors that have suc-cessfully passed the safety assessments by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) and have received approval by the local governments

This reverses the previous Democratic Party of Japan governmentrsquos decision to phase out nuclear power generation by 2040 in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster

Nuclear energy remains an efficient abundant and stable source of power sup-ply which can be domestically produced at relatively low operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions the plan said The priority lies in ensuring the safety of the nuclear power plants it added

Power market liberalisation by 2020The plan highlighted the importance of reforms aimed at liberalising the downstream power markets The full liberalisation of the downstream power generation and retail markets are being advanced through three stages with completion of stage three expected in 2020 the plan said

ldquoBy promoting legal neutrality in the power transmission and distribution sector we will tackle limitations in the conventional power system and increase investment in the power distribution networkrdquo the plan said Abache Abreu

Thailandrsquos PTT in talks for up to 1mtpa of long-term supply from BP

Thailandrsquos state-owned buyer PTT is in discussions with UK-headquartered oil and gas major BP for the long-term supply of up to 1mtpa of LNG on a delivered ex ship (DES) basis starting from 2015 a PTT company offi-cial said in a telephone interview on 11 April

ldquoWe are in discussions with many suppli-ers to make sure we have the best deal for the best interest of the countryrdquo said Nutta-chat Charuchinda chief operations officer of PTTrsquos downstream petroleum business group

ldquoWe would like to see the best options that are available to us [hellip] a basket of supply to make sure that we have security of supply at the best pricerdquo he said

PTT is open to different sources of supply and price indexationsldquo whether it is linked to crude oil JCC [Japanese Crude Cocktail] or Henry Hubrdquo Charuchinda said

Additional contractual agreements are sought in response to PTTrsquos own energy forecasts which foresee a rise in Thailandrsquos domestic energy consumption and an in-crease in the share natural gas holds in the countryrsquos energy mix in relation to coal and nuclear power generation On the other hand the countryrsquos energy reserves are fast dwindling according to PTT while pipeline gas imports from neighbouring countries are increasingly limited

PTT has so far signed two long-term agreements for a total supply of 46mtpa by 2020 In December 2012 PTT signed its first long-term LNG contract with Qatargas for the supply of 2mpta of LNG for 20 years start-ing in 2015 In December 2013 PTT signed a preliminary deal with US-based Anadarko Petroleum for the procurement of 26mpta from Mozambique starting from 2018-2019

Additional 1mtpa might be enoughIn the long term PTT might be interested in securing additional supply from North America or east Africa but having secured 46mtpa under long-term contracts an additional 1mtpa supply might be sufficient to meet the Thai buyerrsquos mid-term demand requirements a Singapore-based analyst said

ldquoPTT has realised they need more LNG but with almost 5mtpa in contracts and an additional 1mtpa under discussion they might wait and see before they start buying againrdquo said Tony Regan an analyst at Singa-pore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoPTT could be cautious and assume they might not be able to get more gas from Myanmar domestic reserves are declining and there is little potential for that to recoverrdquo he said ldquoBut I think they will wait Otherwise they are going to see prices firming because

of all this buying activity Also they have been relatively slow to develop their domestic market for regasified LNG There is a huge industry nearby but it is taking them time to secure contracts with offtakers and arrange truck lifting from the terminalrdquo

Spot procurement set to continueWhile PTT aims to meet most of its demand requirements through long-term contracts the Thai buyer will continue to supplement any shortages through spot LNG purchases

ldquoWe cannot commit [wholly] to term supply Some spot supply [will continue]rdquo Charuchinda said The company recently awarded a single-cargo buy tender for deliv-ery between 5-20 May and is in the market for additional June-delivery volumes

ldquo[PTT] has finished procurement for May [and] will now start looking for June [deliver-ies]rdquo a source close to the tender process said

PTT typically limits participation in its ten-ders to parties with which it has previously concluded master sales agreements Winners of 2013 PTT tenders include Qatari supplier Qatargas Francersquos GDF SUEZ UK-based BG Group and Anglo-Dutch major Shell Nor-wayrsquos Statoil Francersquos Total and Russiarsquos Gazprom have also participated in the 2013 tenders Abache Abreu

GSPC increases LNG market participation ahead of MundraIndian natural gas trader Gujarat State Pe-troleum Corporation (GSPC) has stepped up its short-term LNG procurement following the rupture of a 15-year contract it previ-ously held with state-owned importer GAIL

GSPC has been independently looking for cargoes since March and is no longer relying on GAIL for supplies of about eight LNG cargoes per year a source close to the situation has told ICIS

GAIL had previously sought to renegoti-ate the price of its regasified LNG supplies to GSPC on the back of increases in trans-portation tariffs and rising international LNG prices since 2011 ICIS understands

While the Supreme Court of India up-held GAILrsquos right to negotiate prices for gas delivery from 2014 both parties failed to agree on a suitable price arrangement

A document from the Supreme Court in September 2013 revealed ldquoThe fact that no agreement could be reached between GAIL and GSPC regarding the price of gas [means that] the agreement shall stand terminated with effect from 01012014 and the parties hereto shall stand relieved of their obligation under the Agreementrdquo

As a result GSPC has now increased its presence on the LNG market in order to supply downstream customers engaged in power generation steel and city gas distri-bution

The company has taken delivery of a Qatar-sourced spot cargo on 11 April at the Dahej LNG terminal ICIS understands the cargo was delivered at a landed cost in the $1630sMMBtu

The ICIS DES [delivered ex-ship] India price was assessed for the final time for

April delivery at $1645MMBtu on 14 March

GSPC awards Mundra EPC contract GSPC as the developer of what would be the state of Gujaratrsquos third LNG terminal ndash the Mundra regasification project ndash has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project to Japanrsquos Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO) it said in a statement on 14 April

The 5mtpa project on Indiarsquos west coast is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2016

Despite ground work on the terminal moving ahead GSPC has yet to find a part-ner for a 25 stake in the terminal ICIS understands

In December 2013 India Gas Solutions (IGS) ndash the 5050 joint venture of UK-based BP and Indiarsquos Reliance Industries ndash along with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Indian state companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) were all short-listed for the second round of the stake sale

However no decision has been taken as yet on the second round adding to the speculation that the terminal may miss its targeted start-up date in 2016

The state of Gujarat already has two operational LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej with sources in India noting that expansions at the two facilities may leave Mundra a second-best choice for customers in the area

ldquoThe tariffs at Mundra being a green-field project are expected to be higher compared with Dahejrdquo one source said Ranjana KaushalLudovic Aldersley

Greece in talks with infrastructure provider

Greecersquos minister of environment energy and climate change met with floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) provider Golar LNG regarding a planned import terminal in the north of the country the ministry said on 15 April Greecersquos state-owned gas supply com-pany DEPA is progressing plans to have a 3-5 billion cubic metre (bcm)year FSRU by 2017 which the European Commission considers as a project of common interest

The feasibility study and environmental impact study prepared by DEPA are currently in the final stages according to minister Yian-nis Maniatis

ldquoThe importance of the project together with the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) are major pillars of enhancing energy security of the regionrdquo the Ministry said adding its importance is further ldquore-flected by the advanced consultations with governments and companies from Bulgaria and Romaniardquo

Several LNG terminal developments have been proposed across southeast Europe with an eye on the wider regional market

Within Greece DEPArsquos FSRU proposal is one of three projects that includes expansion of the existing 5bcmyear Revithoussa terminal and a separate FSRU proposal from domestic energy conglomerate Copelouzos

ldquoGolar has expressed its interest in full participation in financing the project provid-ing significant flexibility in the implementation of the overall projectrdquo the Greek ministry said

In parallel to the LNG infrastructure projects the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector is scheduled to be sanctioned in mid-2014 ahead of a 2016 start-up with an initial 3bcmyear capacity ICIS understands Ludovic Aldersley

Taipower could extend lifespan of its nuclear power plantsTaiwanese state-owned utility Taipower could apply to extend the lifespan of its three existing nuclear plant fleet if its fourth facil-ity which is still under construction is not brought on line due to public opposition according to a company source

Taipower hopes that the plant ndash which is located in Gongliao district New Taipei City ndash can become operational next year It will be able to generate around 193TWhyear the source said

With Taipowerrsquos existing nuclear power plants heading for decommissioning in the

coming years there is a risk of power short-ages by 2016 he added

The two units of Taipowerrsquos No 1 nuclear plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018 and 2019 respectively while the two units in the second plant will expire in 2021 and 2022 The two units in the third plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024 and 2025 respectively according to Taiwanrsquos Atomic Energy Council

Taipower is considering using alterna-tive sources of energy such as natural gas and coal but feels nuclear energy has

many advantages ldquoIt will be very difficult and expensive to use alternative sources of energy to make up any shortfallrdquo the source said

The price of importing LNG is very expen-sive compared to nuclear power generation Furthermore the amount of LNG that can be imported is also limited by Taiwanrsquos LNG terminal capacity

ldquoWe would need to build additional in-frastructure such as LNG receiving terminals tanks and pipelines if we want to import enough LNG to cover the shortfall of nuclear powerrdquo the source said Hairul Borhan

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS for the daily European Gas Fundamentals report

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

Canadian Triton LNG receives regulatory export licence Calgary-based AltaGas and its Japanese refining partner Idemitsu have received a 25-year export licence from Canadian energy regulators for their joint small-scale LNG ex-port project

The proposed venture which would either be located near Kitimat or Prince Rupert in British Columbia envisages a floating lique-faction storage and offloading (FLSO) vessel which would include two liquefaction trains

Known as Triton LNG the project received approval to export 23mtpa on 16 April from Canadarsquos National Energy Board (NEB) as well as an additional 15 annual tolerance as per Canadian export standards

ldquoWe have determined that the quantity of gas proposed to be exported by Triton LNG is surplus to Canadian needs The board is satis-fied that the gas resource base in Canada as well as North America is large and can ac-commodate reasonably foreseeable Canadian demand the proposed LNG exports and a plausible potential increase in demandrdquo the NEB order stated

Given the abundance of shale gas in North America the US is no longer importing Cana-dian gas which has stranded the countryrsquos gas reserves and spurred LNG export projects to be developed along the west coast of British Columbia

The Western Canadian export projects are targeting premium northeast Asian markets and Asian companies such as Idemitsu have partnered directly with project proponents through equity and offtake agreements in order to help commercialise the gas

However the Canadian liquefaction ventures and associated pipelines which are developed at a greenfield cost have stalled in reaching final investment because of the cost uncertainties associated with developing in such a rugged and remote environment

Canadarsquos provincial government officials and regulatory authorities have viewed themselves as backers of the LNG industry promoting the country as a desirable location to develop large energy infrastructure projects such as LNG exports

The next project awaiting its export licence is Goldboro LNG a scheme developed by Pieri-dae Energy in Guysborough Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada The 10mpta project has a 5mpta agreement in place with German utility EON on a European hub-indexation The project seeks to supply the LNG by requesting a flow reversal on the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline that runs from Canada to the US

The gap between the NEBrsquos last approval ndash on 16 December 2013 ndash and the Triton LNG approval on 16 April perhaps signals a more cautious approach by the government

While not as lengthy as the time that it took for the US Freeport LNG project to receive its long-awaited non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export licence from the US Depart-ment of Energy (DOE) the four-month pause between the Canadian projects has been the longest time period yet between approvals

In the interim the NEB also approved a 25-year application in February for a US pro-ject proposed on the west coast the planned 6mpta Jordan Cove venture developed by Cal-gary-based infrastructure company Veresen The Jordan Cove scheme proposes importing Canadian pipeline gas into the US and then bringing the volumes to the greenfield site in southwest Oregon to export as LNG

Triton LNG is the ninth project with a Cana-dian export licence

The NEB approved a batch of four projects in December 2013 These included BG Grouprsquos Prince Rupert facility Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest the ExxonMobil-Imperial Oil venture WCC and the Woodfibre LNG export project developed by the Singa-pore energy company Pacific Oil amp Gas

Royal Dutch Shell is leading a consortium with Chinarsquos PetroChina Japanese trading company Mitsubishi and Korearsquos KOGAS for a planned 12mtpa facility in Kitimat

The first Canadian project to receive its ex-port licence was in October 2011 the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG project which is now being jointly marketed by US-based producer Chevron and exploration and production com-pany Apache Corporation Ruth Liao

GIIGNL corrects annual reportA mid-term agreement between the An-gola LNG consortium and Brazilrsquos state-run Petrobras in the International Group of LNG Importers (GIIGNL) report published on 8 April was incorrect according to the organi-sation The initial report stated that the two companies reached an agreement in 2013 for

400000 tonnes per annum on a four-year basis on delivered ex-ship (DES) terms

The information was considered incor-rectly documented as a wrong assumption and GIIGNL has since reissued a final report on its website removing the contract infor-mation Ruth Liao

Russia aims to finalise gas talks with China by MayRussiarsquos incumbent producer Gazprom hopes to finalise a 30-year gas agreement to supply China prior to President Vladimir Pu-tinrsquos approaching visit Arkady Dvorkovich Russiarsquos deputy prime minister said on 14 April as quoted by the Russian media

ldquoOn gas the talks are nearing a close and there is a mutual intention to finish this work before the Russian presidentrsquos visit in Mayrdquo Dvorkovich said during a televised government meeting

ldquoConsultations are ongoing and Gazpromrsquos management are holding talks with Chinese partners on the contract terms We hope to conclude the contract in May and believe it should come into effect by the year endrdquo Dvorkovich said

The agreement would involve the export of 38 billion cubic metres (bcm)year of pipe-line gas starting in 2018

Volumes could be ramped up to 70bcmyear over the course of 30 years The framework agreement between Gazprom and government-controlled China National Petroleum Corporation was signed back in 2009

Negotiations have taken place over the course of the last 10 years with pricing seen as the main roadblock to reaching the agree-ment

However with growing political tensions over Russiarsquos involvement in Ukrainersquos crisis and the subsequent annexation of Crimea China could have gained a bargaining ad-vantage with the potential increasing isola-tion of Russia from western gas markets

Russia has been actively seeking alterna-tive markets in Asia to export gas either through pipeline from fields mainly in Si-beria and the Russian Far East or as LNG to decrease dependence on European imports Russia has few exports markets for gas out-side Europe

lsquoEconomic sanctions from the EU cou-pled with potential competition of shale gas exports from the US ndash as LNG or shale gas develops in Europe ndash could mean a diminish-ing market for Russian gas

As a result Russian export strategy has become mainly Asia-oriented with the po-tential development of several LNG projects including Vladivostok and the expansion of the Sakhalin-2 LNG project with another train

China needs gas to satisfy its growing energy needs as well as to replace coal-fired power generation in densely populated parts of the country Roman Kazmin

Japanrsquos energy plan warns about LNG dependenceJapanrsquos cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sources of power generation and relegates LNG to an inter-mediate load source status according to the plan released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) on 11 April The energy plan which lays out the countryrsquos energy policies for the next 20 years warned about the need to avoid exces-sive reliance on high-priced LNG imports as a substitution for nuclear power generation but did not include any numerical targets for the countryrsquos long-term energy mix

ldquoJapan should avoid excessive depen-dence on LNG as a source of power genera-tion and promote cost reductions by diversify-ing its supply sourcesrdquo the plan said

The plan suggests a number of actions that can be taken at the corporate and in-stitutional levels to reduce the cost of LNG imports such as diversifying contract price indexations eliminating destination restric-tions increasing investment in upstream developments and supporting joint procure-ment agreements to increase buyersrsquo bar-gaining power

ldquoIt is necessary to continue to support strategic efforts towards joint procurementrdquo the plan said

The plan anticipates that US shale gas exports will have a positive impact on the Japanese and global markets from 2017 as these contracts will be linked to the US Henry Hub gas benchmark and will not include a destination restriction clause which means offtakers will be able to trade volumes inter-nationally

ldquoUS LNG will contribute not only to the improvement of the global trading environ-ment but also to the creation of an LNG futures marketrdquo the plan said

Fourth planJapanrsquos energy plan which was drafted in December 2013 but only released by METI for cabinet approval on 18 March is the countryrsquos fourth basic energy plan and the first one formulated since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Since then Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90

The plan highlights the key role that coal and nuclear power sources are expected to play in the countryrsquos energy mix (For more on this see the Focus on Japan)

The plan re-evaluated the key role that nuclear power is to play in the countryrsquos en-ergy mix and states that Japan will proceed to

restart those nuclear reactors that have suc-cessfully passed the safety assessments by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) and have received approval by the local governments

This reverses the previous Democratic Party of Japan governmentrsquos decision to phase out nuclear power generation by 2040 in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster

Nuclear energy remains an efficient abundant and stable source of power sup-ply which can be domestically produced at relatively low operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions the plan said The priority lies in ensuring the safety of the nuclear power plants it added

Power market liberalisation by 2020The plan highlighted the importance of reforms aimed at liberalising the downstream power markets The full liberalisation of the downstream power generation and retail markets are being advanced through three stages with completion of stage three expected in 2020 the plan said

ldquoBy promoting legal neutrality in the power transmission and distribution sector we will tackle limitations in the conventional power system and increase investment in the power distribution networkrdquo the plan said Abache Abreu

Thailandrsquos PTT in talks for up to 1mtpa of long-term supply from BP

Thailandrsquos state-owned buyer PTT is in discussions with UK-headquartered oil and gas major BP for the long-term supply of up to 1mtpa of LNG on a delivered ex ship (DES) basis starting from 2015 a PTT company offi-cial said in a telephone interview on 11 April

ldquoWe are in discussions with many suppli-ers to make sure we have the best deal for the best interest of the countryrdquo said Nutta-chat Charuchinda chief operations officer of PTTrsquos downstream petroleum business group

ldquoWe would like to see the best options that are available to us [hellip] a basket of supply to make sure that we have security of supply at the best pricerdquo he said

PTT is open to different sources of supply and price indexationsldquo whether it is linked to crude oil JCC [Japanese Crude Cocktail] or Henry Hubrdquo Charuchinda said

Additional contractual agreements are sought in response to PTTrsquos own energy forecasts which foresee a rise in Thailandrsquos domestic energy consumption and an in-crease in the share natural gas holds in the countryrsquos energy mix in relation to coal and nuclear power generation On the other hand the countryrsquos energy reserves are fast dwindling according to PTT while pipeline gas imports from neighbouring countries are increasingly limited

PTT has so far signed two long-term agreements for a total supply of 46mtpa by 2020 In December 2012 PTT signed its first long-term LNG contract with Qatargas for the supply of 2mpta of LNG for 20 years start-ing in 2015 In December 2013 PTT signed a preliminary deal with US-based Anadarko Petroleum for the procurement of 26mpta from Mozambique starting from 2018-2019

Additional 1mtpa might be enoughIn the long term PTT might be interested in securing additional supply from North America or east Africa but having secured 46mtpa under long-term contracts an additional 1mtpa supply might be sufficient to meet the Thai buyerrsquos mid-term demand requirements a Singapore-based analyst said

ldquoPTT has realised they need more LNG but with almost 5mtpa in contracts and an additional 1mtpa under discussion they might wait and see before they start buying againrdquo said Tony Regan an analyst at Singa-pore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoPTT could be cautious and assume they might not be able to get more gas from Myanmar domestic reserves are declining and there is little potential for that to recoverrdquo he said ldquoBut I think they will wait Otherwise they are going to see prices firming because

of all this buying activity Also they have been relatively slow to develop their domestic market for regasified LNG There is a huge industry nearby but it is taking them time to secure contracts with offtakers and arrange truck lifting from the terminalrdquo

Spot procurement set to continueWhile PTT aims to meet most of its demand requirements through long-term contracts the Thai buyer will continue to supplement any shortages through spot LNG purchases

ldquoWe cannot commit [wholly] to term supply Some spot supply [will continue]rdquo Charuchinda said The company recently awarded a single-cargo buy tender for deliv-ery between 5-20 May and is in the market for additional June-delivery volumes

ldquo[PTT] has finished procurement for May [and] will now start looking for June [deliver-ies]rdquo a source close to the tender process said

PTT typically limits participation in its ten-ders to parties with which it has previously concluded master sales agreements Winners of 2013 PTT tenders include Qatari supplier Qatargas Francersquos GDF SUEZ UK-based BG Group and Anglo-Dutch major Shell Nor-wayrsquos Statoil Francersquos Total and Russiarsquos Gazprom have also participated in the 2013 tenders Abache Abreu

GSPC increases LNG market participation ahead of MundraIndian natural gas trader Gujarat State Pe-troleum Corporation (GSPC) has stepped up its short-term LNG procurement following the rupture of a 15-year contract it previ-ously held with state-owned importer GAIL

GSPC has been independently looking for cargoes since March and is no longer relying on GAIL for supplies of about eight LNG cargoes per year a source close to the situation has told ICIS

GAIL had previously sought to renegoti-ate the price of its regasified LNG supplies to GSPC on the back of increases in trans-portation tariffs and rising international LNG prices since 2011 ICIS understands

While the Supreme Court of India up-held GAILrsquos right to negotiate prices for gas delivery from 2014 both parties failed to agree on a suitable price arrangement

A document from the Supreme Court in September 2013 revealed ldquoThe fact that no agreement could be reached between GAIL and GSPC regarding the price of gas [means that] the agreement shall stand terminated with effect from 01012014 and the parties hereto shall stand relieved of their obligation under the Agreementrdquo

As a result GSPC has now increased its presence on the LNG market in order to supply downstream customers engaged in power generation steel and city gas distri-bution

The company has taken delivery of a Qatar-sourced spot cargo on 11 April at the Dahej LNG terminal ICIS understands the cargo was delivered at a landed cost in the $1630sMMBtu

The ICIS DES [delivered ex-ship] India price was assessed for the final time for

April delivery at $1645MMBtu on 14 March

GSPC awards Mundra EPC contract GSPC as the developer of what would be the state of Gujaratrsquos third LNG terminal ndash the Mundra regasification project ndash has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project to Japanrsquos Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO) it said in a statement on 14 April

The 5mtpa project on Indiarsquos west coast is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2016

Despite ground work on the terminal moving ahead GSPC has yet to find a part-ner for a 25 stake in the terminal ICIS understands

In December 2013 India Gas Solutions (IGS) ndash the 5050 joint venture of UK-based BP and Indiarsquos Reliance Industries ndash along with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Indian state companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) were all short-listed for the second round of the stake sale

However no decision has been taken as yet on the second round adding to the speculation that the terminal may miss its targeted start-up date in 2016

The state of Gujarat already has two operational LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej with sources in India noting that expansions at the two facilities may leave Mundra a second-best choice for customers in the area

ldquoThe tariffs at Mundra being a green-field project are expected to be higher compared with Dahejrdquo one source said Ranjana KaushalLudovic Aldersley

Greece in talks with infrastructure provider

Greecersquos minister of environment energy and climate change met with floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) provider Golar LNG regarding a planned import terminal in the north of the country the ministry said on 15 April Greecersquos state-owned gas supply com-pany DEPA is progressing plans to have a 3-5 billion cubic metre (bcm)year FSRU by 2017 which the European Commission considers as a project of common interest

The feasibility study and environmental impact study prepared by DEPA are currently in the final stages according to minister Yian-nis Maniatis

ldquoThe importance of the project together with the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) are major pillars of enhancing energy security of the regionrdquo the Ministry said adding its importance is further ldquore-flected by the advanced consultations with governments and companies from Bulgaria and Romaniardquo

Several LNG terminal developments have been proposed across southeast Europe with an eye on the wider regional market

Within Greece DEPArsquos FSRU proposal is one of three projects that includes expansion of the existing 5bcmyear Revithoussa terminal and a separate FSRU proposal from domestic energy conglomerate Copelouzos

ldquoGolar has expressed its interest in full participation in financing the project provid-ing significant flexibility in the implementation of the overall projectrdquo the Greek ministry said

In parallel to the LNG infrastructure projects the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector is scheduled to be sanctioned in mid-2014 ahead of a 2016 start-up with an initial 3bcmyear capacity ICIS understands Ludovic Aldersley

Taipower could extend lifespan of its nuclear power plantsTaiwanese state-owned utility Taipower could apply to extend the lifespan of its three existing nuclear plant fleet if its fourth facil-ity which is still under construction is not brought on line due to public opposition according to a company source

Taipower hopes that the plant ndash which is located in Gongliao district New Taipei City ndash can become operational next year It will be able to generate around 193TWhyear the source said

With Taipowerrsquos existing nuclear power plants heading for decommissioning in the

coming years there is a risk of power short-ages by 2016 he added

The two units of Taipowerrsquos No 1 nuclear plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018 and 2019 respectively while the two units in the second plant will expire in 2021 and 2022 The two units in the third plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024 and 2025 respectively according to Taiwanrsquos Atomic Energy Council

Taipower is considering using alterna-tive sources of energy such as natural gas and coal but feels nuclear energy has

many advantages ldquoIt will be very difficult and expensive to use alternative sources of energy to make up any shortfallrdquo the source said

The price of importing LNG is very expen-sive compared to nuclear power generation Furthermore the amount of LNG that can be imported is also limited by Taiwanrsquos LNG terminal capacity

ldquoWe would need to build additional in-frastructure such as LNG receiving terminals tanks and pipelines if we want to import enough LNG to cover the shortfall of nuclear powerrdquo the source said Hairul Borhan

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

Japanrsquos energy plan warns about LNG dependenceJapanrsquos cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sources of power generation and relegates LNG to an inter-mediate load source status according to the plan released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) on 11 April The energy plan which lays out the countryrsquos energy policies for the next 20 years warned about the need to avoid exces-sive reliance on high-priced LNG imports as a substitution for nuclear power generation but did not include any numerical targets for the countryrsquos long-term energy mix

ldquoJapan should avoid excessive depen-dence on LNG as a source of power genera-tion and promote cost reductions by diversify-ing its supply sourcesrdquo the plan said

The plan suggests a number of actions that can be taken at the corporate and in-stitutional levels to reduce the cost of LNG imports such as diversifying contract price indexations eliminating destination restric-tions increasing investment in upstream developments and supporting joint procure-ment agreements to increase buyersrsquo bar-gaining power

ldquoIt is necessary to continue to support strategic efforts towards joint procurementrdquo the plan said

The plan anticipates that US shale gas exports will have a positive impact on the Japanese and global markets from 2017 as these contracts will be linked to the US Henry Hub gas benchmark and will not include a destination restriction clause which means offtakers will be able to trade volumes inter-nationally

ldquoUS LNG will contribute not only to the improvement of the global trading environ-ment but also to the creation of an LNG futures marketrdquo the plan said

Fourth planJapanrsquos energy plan which was drafted in December 2013 but only released by METI for cabinet approval on 18 March is the countryrsquos fourth basic energy plan and the first one formulated since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Since then Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90

The plan highlights the key role that coal and nuclear power sources are expected to play in the countryrsquos energy mix (For more on this see the Focus on Japan)

The plan re-evaluated the key role that nuclear power is to play in the countryrsquos en-ergy mix and states that Japan will proceed to

restart those nuclear reactors that have suc-cessfully passed the safety assessments by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) and have received approval by the local governments

This reverses the previous Democratic Party of Japan governmentrsquos decision to phase out nuclear power generation by 2040 in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster

Nuclear energy remains an efficient abundant and stable source of power sup-ply which can be domestically produced at relatively low operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions the plan said The priority lies in ensuring the safety of the nuclear power plants it added

Power market liberalisation by 2020The plan highlighted the importance of reforms aimed at liberalising the downstream power markets The full liberalisation of the downstream power generation and retail markets are being advanced through three stages with completion of stage three expected in 2020 the plan said

ldquoBy promoting legal neutrality in the power transmission and distribution sector we will tackle limitations in the conventional power system and increase investment in the power distribution networkrdquo the plan said Abache Abreu

Thailandrsquos PTT in talks for up to 1mtpa of long-term supply from BP

Thailandrsquos state-owned buyer PTT is in discussions with UK-headquartered oil and gas major BP for the long-term supply of up to 1mtpa of LNG on a delivered ex ship (DES) basis starting from 2015 a PTT company offi-cial said in a telephone interview on 11 April

ldquoWe are in discussions with many suppli-ers to make sure we have the best deal for the best interest of the countryrdquo said Nutta-chat Charuchinda chief operations officer of PTTrsquos downstream petroleum business group

ldquoWe would like to see the best options that are available to us [hellip] a basket of supply to make sure that we have security of supply at the best pricerdquo he said

PTT is open to different sources of supply and price indexationsldquo whether it is linked to crude oil JCC [Japanese Crude Cocktail] or Henry Hubrdquo Charuchinda said

Additional contractual agreements are sought in response to PTTrsquos own energy forecasts which foresee a rise in Thailandrsquos domestic energy consumption and an in-crease in the share natural gas holds in the countryrsquos energy mix in relation to coal and nuclear power generation On the other hand the countryrsquos energy reserves are fast dwindling according to PTT while pipeline gas imports from neighbouring countries are increasingly limited

PTT has so far signed two long-term agreements for a total supply of 46mtpa by 2020 In December 2012 PTT signed its first long-term LNG contract with Qatargas for the supply of 2mpta of LNG for 20 years start-ing in 2015 In December 2013 PTT signed a preliminary deal with US-based Anadarko Petroleum for the procurement of 26mpta from Mozambique starting from 2018-2019

Additional 1mtpa might be enoughIn the long term PTT might be interested in securing additional supply from North America or east Africa but having secured 46mtpa under long-term contracts an additional 1mtpa supply might be sufficient to meet the Thai buyerrsquos mid-term demand requirements a Singapore-based analyst said

ldquoPTT has realised they need more LNG but with almost 5mtpa in contracts and an additional 1mtpa under discussion they might wait and see before they start buying againrdquo said Tony Regan an analyst at Singa-pore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoPTT could be cautious and assume they might not be able to get more gas from Myanmar domestic reserves are declining and there is little potential for that to recoverrdquo he said ldquoBut I think they will wait Otherwise they are going to see prices firming because

of all this buying activity Also they have been relatively slow to develop their domestic market for regasified LNG There is a huge industry nearby but it is taking them time to secure contracts with offtakers and arrange truck lifting from the terminalrdquo

Spot procurement set to continueWhile PTT aims to meet most of its demand requirements through long-term contracts the Thai buyer will continue to supplement any shortages through spot LNG purchases

ldquoWe cannot commit [wholly] to term supply Some spot supply [will continue]rdquo Charuchinda said The company recently awarded a single-cargo buy tender for deliv-ery between 5-20 May and is in the market for additional June-delivery volumes

ldquo[PTT] has finished procurement for May [and] will now start looking for June [deliver-ies]rdquo a source close to the tender process said

PTT typically limits participation in its ten-ders to parties with which it has previously concluded master sales agreements Winners of 2013 PTT tenders include Qatari supplier Qatargas Francersquos GDF SUEZ UK-based BG Group and Anglo-Dutch major Shell Nor-wayrsquos Statoil Francersquos Total and Russiarsquos Gazprom have also participated in the 2013 tenders Abache Abreu

GSPC increases LNG market participation ahead of MundraIndian natural gas trader Gujarat State Pe-troleum Corporation (GSPC) has stepped up its short-term LNG procurement following the rupture of a 15-year contract it previ-ously held with state-owned importer GAIL

GSPC has been independently looking for cargoes since March and is no longer relying on GAIL for supplies of about eight LNG cargoes per year a source close to the situation has told ICIS

GAIL had previously sought to renegoti-ate the price of its regasified LNG supplies to GSPC on the back of increases in trans-portation tariffs and rising international LNG prices since 2011 ICIS understands

While the Supreme Court of India up-held GAILrsquos right to negotiate prices for gas delivery from 2014 both parties failed to agree on a suitable price arrangement

A document from the Supreme Court in September 2013 revealed ldquoThe fact that no agreement could be reached between GAIL and GSPC regarding the price of gas [means that] the agreement shall stand terminated with effect from 01012014 and the parties hereto shall stand relieved of their obligation under the Agreementrdquo

As a result GSPC has now increased its presence on the LNG market in order to supply downstream customers engaged in power generation steel and city gas distri-bution

The company has taken delivery of a Qatar-sourced spot cargo on 11 April at the Dahej LNG terminal ICIS understands the cargo was delivered at a landed cost in the $1630sMMBtu

The ICIS DES [delivered ex-ship] India price was assessed for the final time for

April delivery at $1645MMBtu on 14 March

GSPC awards Mundra EPC contract GSPC as the developer of what would be the state of Gujaratrsquos third LNG terminal ndash the Mundra regasification project ndash has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project to Japanrsquos Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO) it said in a statement on 14 April

The 5mtpa project on Indiarsquos west coast is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2016

Despite ground work on the terminal moving ahead GSPC has yet to find a part-ner for a 25 stake in the terminal ICIS understands

In December 2013 India Gas Solutions (IGS) ndash the 5050 joint venture of UK-based BP and Indiarsquos Reliance Industries ndash along with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Indian state companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) were all short-listed for the second round of the stake sale

However no decision has been taken as yet on the second round adding to the speculation that the terminal may miss its targeted start-up date in 2016

The state of Gujarat already has two operational LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej with sources in India noting that expansions at the two facilities may leave Mundra a second-best choice for customers in the area

ldquoThe tariffs at Mundra being a green-field project are expected to be higher compared with Dahejrdquo one source said Ranjana KaushalLudovic Aldersley

Greece in talks with infrastructure provider

Greecersquos minister of environment energy and climate change met with floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) provider Golar LNG regarding a planned import terminal in the north of the country the ministry said on 15 April Greecersquos state-owned gas supply com-pany DEPA is progressing plans to have a 3-5 billion cubic metre (bcm)year FSRU by 2017 which the European Commission considers as a project of common interest

The feasibility study and environmental impact study prepared by DEPA are currently in the final stages according to minister Yian-nis Maniatis

ldquoThe importance of the project together with the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) are major pillars of enhancing energy security of the regionrdquo the Ministry said adding its importance is further ldquore-flected by the advanced consultations with governments and companies from Bulgaria and Romaniardquo

Several LNG terminal developments have been proposed across southeast Europe with an eye on the wider regional market

Within Greece DEPArsquos FSRU proposal is one of three projects that includes expansion of the existing 5bcmyear Revithoussa terminal and a separate FSRU proposal from domestic energy conglomerate Copelouzos

ldquoGolar has expressed its interest in full participation in financing the project provid-ing significant flexibility in the implementation of the overall projectrdquo the Greek ministry said

In parallel to the LNG infrastructure projects the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector is scheduled to be sanctioned in mid-2014 ahead of a 2016 start-up with an initial 3bcmyear capacity ICIS understands Ludovic Aldersley

Taipower could extend lifespan of its nuclear power plantsTaiwanese state-owned utility Taipower could apply to extend the lifespan of its three existing nuclear plant fleet if its fourth facil-ity which is still under construction is not brought on line due to public opposition according to a company source

Taipower hopes that the plant ndash which is located in Gongliao district New Taipei City ndash can become operational next year It will be able to generate around 193TWhyear the source said

With Taipowerrsquos existing nuclear power plants heading for decommissioning in the

coming years there is a risk of power short-ages by 2016 he added

The two units of Taipowerrsquos No 1 nuclear plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018 and 2019 respectively while the two units in the second plant will expire in 2021 and 2022 The two units in the third plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024 and 2025 respectively according to Taiwanrsquos Atomic Energy Council

Taipower is considering using alterna-tive sources of energy such as natural gas and coal but feels nuclear energy has

many advantages ldquoIt will be very difficult and expensive to use alternative sources of energy to make up any shortfallrdquo the source said

The price of importing LNG is very expen-sive compared to nuclear power generation Furthermore the amount of LNG that can be imported is also limited by Taiwanrsquos LNG terminal capacity

ldquoWe would need to build additional in-frastructure such as LNG receiving terminals tanks and pipelines if we want to import enough LNG to cover the shortfall of nuclear powerrdquo the source said Hairul Borhan

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

GSPC increases LNG market participation ahead of MundraIndian natural gas trader Gujarat State Pe-troleum Corporation (GSPC) has stepped up its short-term LNG procurement following the rupture of a 15-year contract it previ-ously held with state-owned importer GAIL

GSPC has been independently looking for cargoes since March and is no longer relying on GAIL for supplies of about eight LNG cargoes per year a source close to the situation has told ICIS

GAIL had previously sought to renegoti-ate the price of its regasified LNG supplies to GSPC on the back of increases in trans-portation tariffs and rising international LNG prices since 2011 ICIS understands

While the Supreme Court of India up-held GAILrsquos right to negotiate prices for gas delivery from 2014 both parties failed to agree on a suitable price arrangement

A document from the Supreme Court in September 2013 revealed ldquoThe fact that no agreement could be reached between GAIL and GSPC regarding the price of gas [means that] the agreement shall stand terminated with effect from 01012014 and the parties hereto shall stand relieved of their obligation under the Agreementrdquo

As a result GSPC has now increased its presence on the LNG market in order to supply downstream customers engaged in power generation steel and city gas distri-bution

The company has taken delivery of a Qatar-sourced spot cargo on 11 April at the Dahej LNG terminal ICIS understands the cargo was delivered at a landed cost in the $1630sMMBtu

The ICIS DES [delivered ex-ship] India price was assessed for the final time for

April delivery at $1645MMBtu on 14 March

GSPC awards Mundra EPC contract GSPC as the developer of what would be the state of Gujaratrsquos third LNG terminal ndash the Mundra regasification project ndash has awarded the engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project to Japanrsquos Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO) it said in a statement on 14 April

The 5mtpa project on Indiarsquos west coast is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2016

Despite ground work on the terminal moving ahead GSPC has yet to find a part-ner for a 25 stake in the terminal ICIS understands

In December 2013 India Gas Solutions (IGS) ndash the 5050 joint venture of UK-based BP and Indiarsquos Reliance Industries ndash along with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Indian state companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) were all short-listed for the second round of the stake sale

However no decision has been taken as yet on the second round adding to the speculation that the terminal may miss its targeted start-up date in 2016

The state of Gujarat already has two operational LNG terminals at Hazira and Dahej with sources in India noting that expansions at the two facilities may leave Mundra a second-best choice for customers in the area

ldquoThe tariffs at Mundra being a green-field project are expected to be higher compared with Dahejrdquo one source said Ranjana KaushalLudovic Aldersley

Greece in talks with infrastructure provider

Greecersquos minister of environment energy and climate change met with floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) provider Golar LNG regarding a planned import terminal in the north of the country the ministry said on 15 April Greecersquos state-owned gas supply com-pany DEPA is progressing plans to have a 3-5 billion cubic metre (bcm)year FSRU by 2017 which the European Commission considers as a project of common interest

The feasibility study and environmental impact study prepared by DEPA are currently in the final stages according to minister Yian-nis Maniatis

ldquoThe importance of the project together with the interconnecting gas pipeline Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) are major pillars of enhancing energy security of the regionrdquo the Ministry said adding its importance is further ldquore-flected by the advanced consultations with governments and companies from Bulgaria and Romaniardquo

Several LNG terminal developments have been proposed across southeast Europe with an eye on the wider regional market

Within Greece DEPArsquos FSRU proposal is one of three projects that includes expansion of the existing 5bcmyear Revithoussa terminal and a separate FSRU proposal from domestic energy conglomerate Copelouzos

ldquoGolar has expressed its interest in full participation in financing the project provid-ing significant flexibility in the implementation of the overall projectrdquo the Greek ministry said

In parallel to the LNG infrastructure projects the Greece-Bulgaria Interconnector is scheduled to be sanctioned in mid-2014 ahead of a 2016 start-up with an initial 3bcmyear capacity ICIS understands Ludovic Aldersley

Taipower could extend lifespan of its nuclear power plantsTaiwanese state-owned utility Taipower could apply to extend the lifespan of its three existing nuclear plant fleet if its fourth facil-ity which is still under construction is not brought on line due to public opposition according to a company source

Taipower hopes that the plant ndash which is located in Gongliao district New Taipei City ndash can become operational next year It will be able to generate around 193TWhyear the source said

With Taipowerrsquos existing nuclear power plants heading for decommissioning in the

coming years there is a risk of power short-ages by 2016 he added

The two units of Taipowerrsquos No 1 nuclear plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018 and 2019 respectively while the two units in the second plant will expire in 2021 and 2022 The two units in the third plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2024 and 2025 respectively according to Taiwanrsquos Atomic Energy Council

Taipower is considering using alterna-tive sources of energy such as natural gas and coal but feels nuclear energy has

many advantages ldquoIt will be very difficult and expensive to use alternative sources of energy to make up any shortfallrdquo the source said

The price of importing LNG is very expen-sive compared to nuclear power generation Furthermore the amount of LNG that can be imported is also limited by Taiwanrsquos LNG terminal capacity

ldquoWe would need to build additional in-frastructure such as LNG receiving terminals tanks and pipelines if we want to import enough LNG to cover the shortfall of nuclear powerrdquo the source said Hairul Borhan

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS for the daily European Gas Fundamentals report

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

Saibu increases long-term volumes from MLNGJapanese natural gas utility Saibu Gas has amended its long-term contract with south-east Asian producer Malaysia LNG (MLNG) increasing its offtake from 390000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to 450000tpa from April 2014 until April 2028 a Japanese source close to the company said on 15 April

Volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis

The volumes from Malaysia LNG will be delivered to Saibu Gasrsquos new Hibiki LNG ter-minal once it starts commercial operations in November 2014

Located in the north of Japanrsquos southern Kyushu island Hibiki LNG is the companyrsquos first large-scale regasification facility and comprises two 180000cbm storage tanks

Meanwhile some volumes will continue to be delivered on a DES basis using smaller-size vessels to the companyrsquos two other terminals the 01mtpa Nagasaki terminal and the 09mtpa Fukuoka terminal both on Kyushu island between April 2014 and March 2015

From April 2015 all of Saibu Gasrsquos contractual volumes including the MLNG cargoes will be delivered to the Hibiki LNG terminal

From that date the Fukuoka LNG ter-minal will be scrapped while the Nagasaki LNG terminal will start receiving volumes on an FOB (free on board) basis on board small vessels the source said adding that Saibu Gas is still considering which vessel will be used for FOB deliveries to this terminal

There is speculation that Saibu Gas could be looking to increase spot procurement for delivery to its Nagasaki LNG terminal from April 2015 as its two other long-term supply contracts with Russiarsquos Sakhalin Energy and Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas have both been agreed on a DES basis

Saibu Gas in July 2013 also amended its long-term contract with Sakhalin Energy the operator of the 10mtpa Sakhalin-2 project in Russiarsquos Pacific coast increasing its offtake from 8500tpa to 65000tpa which is load-able on a single regular-sized LNG vessel for

the period April 2015 until April 2027 the source said Under the new arrangement with Sakhalin the delivery terms will be changed from FOB to DES

Saibu Gas also has a long-term agree-ment with gas utility Tokyo Gas for the procurement of 300000tpa over a 16-year period starting from April 2014

From November 2014 Tokyo Gas will also start delivering the volumes on a DES basis to Saibu Gasrsquo Hibiki LNG terminal

When the long-term agreement was signed in March 2012 Tokyo Gas said it would supply Saibu from its existing long-term LNG contracts and added that this deal was the second such resale contract it had signed

Saibu Gas has now concluded long-term procurement the source said as the recent amendments in the MLNG and Sakhalin En-ergy contracts and the start of supply from Tokyo Gas are sufficient to meet the buyerrsquos mid- to long-term demand requirements Abache Abreu

DEFA of Cyprus considers four bids for FSRU and LNG supplyThe state-owned Natural Gas Public Com-pany (DEFA) of Cyprus is reviewing four bids for its supply of natural gas from 1 January 2016 and all supporting import infrastruc-ture the company announced this week

DEFA has asked for supply to the east Mediterranean island to be at the boundary of the coastal Vasilikos power station when it relaunched its tender process on 25 January 2014

However the difference between the cur-rent tender process which saw a bid deadline on 24 March and the one scrapped last year relates to the requested length of the gas supply contract

Current bids are sought for supply of up to 10 years whereas last yearrsquos bids were requested for only three years up to the end of 2018

While DEFA had backed away from nego-tiations with its preferred bidder last year on the basis that it would not significantly reduce electricity prices ndash the principally stated aim of the tender ndash over the intervening period Cyprusrsquos undeveloped upstream resource has been hit by a series of reserve downgrades

The latest one in December 2013 brought the mean recoverable reserves of the offshore Aphrodite field down to 41 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) ndash or 1161 billion cubic metres (bcm) ndash from an initial 2011 estimate of 7tcf according to Israel-based upstream consor-tium partner Delek Group

Nonetheless the underlying momentum to import natural gas as a stopgap measure whilst developing its more than self-sufficient reserves has always seemed present despite cancelling last yearrsquos tender The rationale to import continues to be driven by the savings the country can gain from facilitating a transi-tion from oil-based power generation to gas-fired generation as quickly as possible The fast-track timeline to bring natural gas into the country has only slipped three months from September 2015 to January 2016

Uncertainty around the parallel develop-ment of the countryrsquos upstream gas resource instead only has a bearing on the total period that Cyprus would rely on gas-based imports before its eventual energy self-sufficiency

DEFA has been open to both LNG import proposals as well as compressed natural gas (CNG) providing ldquoall commercial and infrastructure requirementsrdquo including the processing of the gas for the countryrsquos planned transmission system Of the four bids received ICIS understands three are for LNG and one for CNG

With no existing gas market or infrastruc-ture in Cyprus the amount of LNG required is understood to be staggered in line with plans to convert three oil-fired power plants and connect them to a planned 80km gas pipeline

The volumes indicated in a tender docu-ment from last year were 04bcmyear 1 bcmyear and 12bcmyear

Once a euro60m ($829m) planned gas transmission system is complete it can then serve as the backbone for the development of future networks across residential and other industrial areas DEFA has said

The government of Cyprus was allocated euro10m in financial assistance from the Euro-pean Commission for the construction of the gas transmission system last year

Although the aid package was initially to be finalised last December the govern-ment that month informed the commission it would still be analysing ldquopossible options to introduce gas either directly from their reserve[s] recently discovered or through an LNG terminalrdquo a commission spokeswoman told ICIS on 17 April

ldquoThe best option should be decided dur-ing the month of May 2014rdquo she added Ludovic Aldersley

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

Market reforms are meant to encourage the

entry of new participants

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

ConocoPhillips planning Alaska exports in MayUS producer ConocoPhillips which oper-ates the mothballed single-train Kenai LNG facility in Alaska has received clearance from the US government to export to non-free-trade-agreement (non-FTA) countries and plans to resume exports in May

ConocoPhillips had authorised a two-year licence to export 40 billion cubic feetyear or just over 800000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of LNG in the order granted on 14 April by the Department of Energy (DOE)

A non-FTA licence means that exports from the US can go to countries such as Ja-pan China and India Kenai received its FTA export licence on 19 February

A spokesperson for ConocoPhillips said the facilityrsquos tanks are currently cold and the plant is considered operational after the company has restarted the mothballed facility from a warming state

The US major has subchartered the 135000cbm Excel to deliver cargoes from Kenai with a charter period starting in May

Shipping records show the Excel is poised to arrive at Kenai on 2 May and market sources said deliveries would likely com-mence by mid-May Deliveries from Kenai

would probably reach Japan starting in June or July

The company applied to resume exports from the 19mtpa plant in December 2013 The facility was placed in a warming state from March 2013 after being briefly revived in the summer of 2012 to provide a string of cargoes for Japanese utility Kansai Electric under a special arrangement

ConocoPhillips began marketing cargoes for 2014 after applying to restart the facility but the summer string is now expected to be finalised soon given that it has a non-FTA export licence a market source said

Concerns of insufficient feedgas led to the plant being mothballed for some time but in its application to resume exports the company said that improved gas forecasts for the Cook Inlet producing region and suf-ficient domestic supply have provided greater support to export any surplus gas as LNG during the summer period

Cook Inlet estimates for the region show as much as 44 trillion cubic feet could yet be discovered ConocoPhillips said

In addition utilities in south-central Alaska have covered all regional demand

through contracts until the first quarter of 2018

The Kenai approval was granted outside the pending queue of 24 non-FTA export ap-plications filing for new export projects given that the ConocoPhillips plant which began operations in 1969 was an existing facility

The DOE has approved seven non-FTA applications so far for six US projects Sabine Pass Freeport Lake Charles Dominionrsquos Cove Point Sempra Energyrsquos Cameron LNG and the greenfield Oregon project Jordan Cove This covers a cumulative 68mtpa in approved non-FTA volumes

Export licences to FTA nations ndash which in-clude South Korea Chile and Singapore ndash are granted by the US DOE without delay

The next LNG export project awaiting its export licence is the planned 96mtpa Oregon LNG project a greenfield proposal in Warren-ton Oregon

The project developed by the holding company Leucadia National Corporation is proposing a tolling facility that will import both Canadian and US pipeline gas for export but has not signed any long-term offtake agreements to date Ruth Liao

Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC) power grid ldquo[Metrogasrsquo] lack of interest in extend-ing current agreements indicates that they clearly have business in another areardquo the source said

Codelco will receive one cargo at the Mejillones terminal this year and next year through a contract announced with Metrogas earlier this year The first cargo of the $100m deal is expected to arrive at Mejillones in May and will be delivered by a BG-controlled vessel

Northern power pushCodelco is one of three companies to have secured capacity at the Mejillones terminal as part of the new business model introduced at the facility last year Under the new terminal use agreements companies are free to regasify LNG at Mejillones sourced from suppliers of their choice in exchange for regasification and storage fees

LNG brought into the facility by the min-ing company will be used to fuel the power

demands of mining operations on northern Chilersquos SING power grid Local power genera-tor E-CL and Australian mining and energy major BHP Billiton are the other companies understood to have reserved future delivery slots at the Mejillones facility

While 12 of the 20 annual delivery win-dows are currently reserved for 2014 and 11 for 2015 almost all of the open slots have been booked out from 2016 onwards

Codelco itself is currently proposing the development of a 750MW power plant close to Mejillones Environmental approval for the project was received last year however questions remain over the mining companyrsquos commitment to the project

Codelco executives have previously said they would be open to passing the develop-ment and operation of the Luz Minera project onto another company in order to concen-trate on its core mining business

Cargoes sourced from Metrogas could be provided to Luz Minera or a separate power generator on the SING grid so long as they

supply power to Codelco mines The recent acquisition of a 50 stake in Chilean genera-tor GasAtacama by the local arm of Spanish power giant Endesa opens up previously idle capacity on the SING grid and could also provide an alternative power supply source for mining companies

Elsewhere on the SING BHP Billiton continues to press ahead with its own power generation project The company awarded French engineering company Alstom a euro100m ($138m) contract to deliver two gas turbines for the Kelar plant planned to sit alongside Mejillones Alstom announced on 9 April

Korean conglomerate Samsung Engineer-ing has already been awarded an engineer-ing procurement and construction contract for the 517MW plant due online at the end of 2016

BHP Billiton has held discussions with several LNG suppliers through 2013 ICIS understands but a firm supply deal for Mejil-lones has yet to be signed James Fowler

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS for the daily European Gas Fundamentals report

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

excluding strategic stocks

Injections down as stocks offset disruptionsThere was a small dip in storage injections in the week to Monday with a couple of planned and some unexpected outages meaning withdrawals were required at times to meet demand Overall stocks remain relatively full and all European sites combined held about 308 billion cubic metres (bcm) at the start of the week

Aggregated facilities across Europe are just under 42 full which is up 27 percentage points compared to the same date last year

In Germany there was a decrease in gas being added to sites despite little change in prompt to front-winter spreads at both the hubs in the country The drop in injections at German sites was partially driven by a change in flow profiles Dutch exports to Germany were lower for in a couple of sessions and on two days Germany exported more to the Netherlands than the other way

Despite the fall the country led Europe in terms of the overall volume of gas added to sites

The second largest amount of gas was injected in Italy The PSV Day-ahead was on average euro3075MWh cheaper than the front season over the week providing the economic incentive to replenish stocks There is also a government requirement for certain quanti-ties to be added to facilities in the country

An unplanned Norwegian outage over the week mainly affected flows towards Britain and planned technical work at the Teesside processing plant also disrupted sup-plies This meant that medium-range stocks were relied upon to balance the system on several sessions and volumes in store at these sites were down in the days to Friday 11 April before being refilled over the weekend that followed

There was also less gas coming to Britain from the Netherlands reducing quantities available for storage

There was a slight decrease in injections in Francersquos PEG Nord zone which was mainly because of technical restrictions at a couple of facilities The Day-ahead to front-winter discount actually widened slightly at the hub over the week and this could lead to a jump in gas being added to reserves in the coming sessions if the spread remains Ben Samuel

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

US LOWER 48 GAS STOCKS

US stocks post biggest weekly rise of 2014US natural gas stocks rose for a second consecutive week to post the biggest inven-tory rise of 2014 so far in the seven days ended 11 April the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its latest gas storage report

Stocks rose by 24 billion cubic feet (bcf)- or 680 million cubic metres (mcm) - largely because of milder temperatures and reduced heating demand in the western and produc-ing regions However ongoing nuclear power outages continue to keep gas-fired genera-tion demand high capping the extent of the inventory growth

Despite the recent rises stocks remain at their lowest levels since May 2003 Total gas in storage now sits at 850 billion cubic feet half the year ago level and 54 lower than the five year average for this week

But the move came in below most ana-lystsrsquo expectations firing bullish sentiment on the NYMEX natural gas futures market

The warmer-than-average temperature outlook for late April should however mean that larger injections are noted in upcoming EIA reports

A separate market source also indicated that the breakdown in mid-term cargo de-liveries on a monthly basis would be 3 from Shell 1 from BP and 1 from Qatargas

These supply contracts have been sought to replace previous mid-term supply agree-ments with Shell and Switzerland-based trader Vitol which started in 2009 and ex-pired in 2013

Kuwaitrsquos state-owned Kuwait National Petroleum Corp (KNPC) which handles LNG imports on behalf of its parent company KPC has received two spot cargoes to its newly commissioned floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) Al-Loughani said

The commissioning cargo arrived from Qatar on 13 March on board the newly built 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Golar Igloo which is now anchored at Kuwaitrsquos Mina Al-Ahmadi port where it will serve as Kuwaitrsquos FSRU for a five-year period

The Golar LNG-operated newbuild will remain at the port during Kuwaitrsquos high demand season and will be free for charter during northeast Asiarsquos peak winter season from December to February

The FSRU is expected to have the ability to regasify approximately 750 million cubic

feet (mcf) or 21 million cubic metresday dur-ing the peak summer season an increase of 200mcfday from the previous FSRU which was operated by US-based trader and ship-owner Excelerate Energy

Kuwait likely to see higher costsThe previous supply deals with Vitol and Shell were indexed to Brent crude with an average slope of about 11 The deals signed at a time of relatively low market prices on the back of the global financial crisis included a flexibility component which allowed KPC to negotiate time-swaps or refuse some cargoes with an advance notice This served well for both suppliers as the spot market peaked rapidly after the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011 and both companies could find alternative destinations with much higher net-backs

KPC on the other hand supplemented its mid-term deals with spot volumes purchased from Shell Vitol Gazprom Excelerate Energy and a number of other suppliers The geog-raphies of supply included Nigeria Qatar and European reloads

Under the new mid-term deals Shell is likely to rely on its offtake positions in Qatar

and Nigeria to supply Kuwait while BP is likely to use volumes also sourced from Nige-ria and reload volumes from Spain industry sources said

It is highly unlikely that the new mid-term deals were negotiated at below 15 of crude indexation according to industry sources and likely to involve a fixed component in the formulae

However KPC was understood to be seeking flexibility on the volumes in terms of cancellation and re-scheduling This is because domestic demand mainly driven by power generation and air-conditioning needs tends to fluctuate The country was seeking about 60 cargoes per procurement season ICIS understands

Kuwait is considering building an onshore terminal KNPC granted the front-end engi-neering and design contract to Switzerland-based infrastructure company Foster Wheeler back in March The terminal would start operations in 2020

In 2012 Kuwait consumed 172 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas according to the BP Statistical Review With domestic production of 145bcm the shortfall was met through LNG imports Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

News Briefs

Petronet launches tender to lease storage capacity Indiarsquos largest LNG importer Petronet LNG has launched a tender to lease out part of the stor-age capacity at its 5mtpa Kochi LNG terminal for an initial period of two years the company said in a statement on 11 April

The company has invited expression of interest (EoI) from experienced LNG suppliers traders and terminal operators for leasing out capacity across its two 182000 cubic meters storage tanks The deadline closes on 30 April after which Petronet will prepare an initial shortlist of interested parties and hold a pre-bid meeting at Kochi in May-June to discuss issues and finalise terms and conditions along with the process and schedule

The utilization charges will be as per inter-national norms and are negotiable Petronet said

The terminal in the state of Kerala is located in a special economic zone and has operated at just 5 of its capacity this year according to a source in the country Its usage however will likely rise once the Kochi-Mangalore pipeline work is completed

Petronetrsquos major shareholders include a variety of state-owned companies (50) as well as the Paris-based portfolio supplier GDF SUEZ (10) and the Asian Development Bank (5) The remaining shares are held by the public insurance companies and mutual funds

Encana sheds LNG for transportation assets US-based Stabilis Energy has purchased a substantial portion of Canadian gas producer Encanarsquos US LNG for fuel assets the acquiring company announced on 14 April

Terms of the transaction which is schedule to close on 30 April were not disclosed

The US subsidiary of Encana Encana Natural Gas Inc (ENGI) is a distributor of LNG fuel for domestic high-horsepower operations Sectors in which ENGI is involved include oilfield services mining rail marine trucking and other industrial applications

Texas-based Stabilis plans to open its first small-scale LNG production facility in George West Texas in January 2015 the company stated The plant which will produce 100000 LNG galday when completed is intended to supply oilfield companies operating in the Eagle Ford shale basin

Encana was formerly a 30 stakeholder in the planned 10mtpa Kitimat LNG export venture in British Columbia Canada but sold its stake to US-based oil and gas major Chevron in late December 2012

Magnolia LNG signs non-binding engineering pact The planned 8mtpa Magnolia LNG export scheme in the US state of Louisiana has signed a preliminary engineering agreement with South Korearsquos SK Engineering and Construction according to the developer LNG Limited

Magnolia LNG a greenfield mid-scale pro-posal in Lake Charles has drawn up a technical services agreement in place with the Korean

engineering procurement and construction (EPC) provider for related activities LNG Limited stated in a 14 April filing to the Australian stock exchange

The two companies will agree to a lump sum turnkey EPC term sheet a nonbinding contract by 30 June SK will also review pre-front end engineering design (pre-FEED) work and complete the full FEED for the project the statement continued

Magnolia LNG is awaiting its non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) export approval from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and is the 19th applicant awaiting consideration The project also must receive its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting

LNG Limited has previously targeted a final investment decision by mid-2015

GasLog expands wholly owned fleet with BG buysMonaco-based LNG shipowner GasLog has completed the purchase of three 145000cbm LNG carriers from BG Group and agreed the terms for an additional three identical ships for approximately $468m it said in a statement on 10 April

The move expands GasLogrsquos wholly owned fleet to 18 carriers presently and sets it up for further expansion to 21 carriers when the additional sale agreements are completed in ap-proximately three months a GasLog spokesman told ICIS

GasLog has supervised the construction of all six ships in question and managed them since shipyard delivery in 2006 and 2007

The outright purchase of the ships which includes time charter agreements with BG Group for an average initial period of six years supports GasLogrsquos strategy of consolidation in the LNG carrier market the statement said

These ships will represent approximately $425m of incremental contracted revenue over their initial charter terms and add over $50m of additional annual revenue to GasLogrsquos EBITDA (earnings before interest income and expense taxes depreciation and amortisation)

Outside of the recent agreement the com-pany has six wholly-owned newbuilds due to be delivered over the course of 2014-2016

Lebanonrsquos FSRU award moves up state levelLebanonrsquos Ministry of Energy and Water has moved the decision on the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) award to the Lebanese Council of Ministers

ldquoThe final report is almost finished and is being forwarded to the Council of Minister to take decision on the preferred bidderrdquo a minis-try adviser told ICIS

The Ministry had earlier extended the tender deadline for the provision of a FSRU until January 27 due to missing documents

ldquoThe bidding process went very well this time and we have got very competitive pricesrdquo the adviser said

Three companies were involved the most recent tender process which was originally launched back in March 2012 when 13 compa-nies pre-qualified to supply a 125000cbm FSRU

equating to 35mtpa of import capacity by late 2015 or early 2016

The final three companies left in the selec-tion process include US-based FSRU provider Excelerate Energy Oslo-based shipowner Hoegh LNG and a consortium made up of Lebanese energy infrastructure provider Buil-dum Ventures US offshore engineering firm Waller Marine and technology owner Wartsila Hamworthy

Also in parallel is the shortlisting of LNG suppliers to the FSRU The ministry expects to shortlist five companies for a 12-year supply contract starting from the first quarter of 2016

ldquoWe have shortlisted some LNG suppliers and as soon as we get the green light from the ministers we will begin negotiationsrdquo accord-ing to the adviser

ConocoPhillips expects update on Brass LNG saleThe US oil and gas producer ConocoPhillips is expecting an update in the coming weeks on the progress of its 17 stake divestiture in Brass LNG in Nigeria according to a company spokesperson

The update will come in the wake of delays to the completion of its upstream assets to Nigerian-based Oando which had been expected to progress more rapidly than its Brass LNG assets also to the same company

Oando stated on 28 March that the two companies reached an agreement to extend the acquisition of the upstream sales by 30 April ConocoPhillips also stated a similar timeline on its upstream assets in its latest analyst presenta-tion on 10 April

The proposed 10mtpa Brass LNG venture has faced delays to its final investment decision and inflating development costs leading to a protracted asset sale of both LNG and upstream acreage equity ConocoPhillips initially expected to close on its entire Nigerian portfolio for $179bn at the end of 2013 after announcing the decision in December 2012

Petrobras Mitsui to study fourth Brazil LNG terminalBrazilrsquos state energy company Petrobras has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japanese commodity trader Mitsui and the regional government of Rio Grande do Sul state to study the development of a LNG regasifica-tion terminal in Brazilrsquos far south

Through the agreement Petrobras Mitsui and the regional government will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of install-ing an import terminal on the coast of Brazilrsquos southernmost state Petrobras said in a 15 April statement

Petrobras currently operates three floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) import terminals along Brazilrsquos coastline at Pecem Salvador and Rio de Janiero and a fourth LNG terminal in the south of the country has been previously considered

Several gas-fired power plants are located in southern Brazil including the 630MW Uruguai-ana power plant in Rio Grande do Sul which has been used intermittently since early 2013 in order to cover falling hydroelectric generation

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

The price competitiveness of coal against LNG

is under scrutiny by Japanese buyers

Japanrsquos clean coal comes at a cost

With nuclear power plant restarts still un-certain and high Asian LNG prices taking their toll on importersrsquo current accounts Japan now seems determined to bring coal back to the core of its long-term energy mix

The countryrsquos cabinet on 11 April approved a new basic energy plan which defines coal and nuclear power as the key baseload sourc-es of power generation and relegates natural gas in the form of LNG to an intermediate load-source status

ldquoCoal-fired power generation is a stable safe and cost-effective source of power sup-plyrdquo stated the plan which was drafted in December 2013 and released by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) for approval last month

The current economic benefit of coal as a power generation source is clear across global markets with gas priced out of the mix ndash no-tably in Europe

But an increase in LNG imports into Ja-pan from the US later in the decade and the prospect of a more liberalised Japanese power sector could still bolster demand for gas-fired generation

Japanrsquos latest energy plans come amid growing global concerns about the environ-mental footprint of coal mining and usage with coal-fired generation considered to be one of the biggest sources of man-made greenhouse gas emissions

Two days after the approval of Japanrsquos plan the United Nationsrsquo Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change urging countries to rapidly substitute carbon-

intensive fuels such as crude oil and coal with renewable sources and natural gas for power generation in order to mitigate the impact of global warming

But the Japanese government claims to have found a way to continue doing business as usual while tackling environmental chal-lenges by deploying technologies that reduce the release of air pollutants from its coal-fired power stations

According to the plan government poli-cies will be directed at replacing old thermal power plants and promoting the development and commercialisation of the latest coal-fired power generation technology in Japan and overseas to improve efficiency and reduce emissions

LNG holds advantageWhile constant improvements in technology have reduced many of the environmental impacts traditionally associated with the use of coal in electricity generation the high cost of coal-fired power technology and production is likely largely to offset the fuelrsquos competitive advantage against natural gas in the Japanese market said Tony Regan an analyst at Singapore-based consultancy Tri-Zen International

ldquoWe have also seen coal prices coming up The US is exporting but consumption is also growing so prices are recovering With coal you also need a huge coal storage yard in a country where land is scarce and expensiverdquo said Regan

The price-competitiveness of coal against LNG has naturally been a factor taken into

Despite environmental concerns the Japanese coal generation sector looks to be on the rise But could the prospect of cheaper LNG and market liberalisation offset the governmentrsquos bullish coal view

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

Market reforms are meant to encourage the

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

Focus

❯❯ consideration by Japanese buyers in their supply and demand projections This has led to a wide variety of possible import demand projections

Tokyo Gas which aims to more than double its natural gas-fired power generation capacity between 2012 and 2020 said LNG demand estimates depend on the assumption of two specific Japanese market scenarios

In the first scenario the company sees LNG demand in Japan increasing to 100mtpa by 2030 mainly driven by a decline in nuclear capacity and the increasing competitiveness of LNG prices against coal and oil

In the second scenario Tokyo Gas sees LNG demand decreasing to 60mtpa over the same period ndash a fall of almost 30mtpa from 2013 driven by the continuation of high oil-indexed LNG prices

As utilities come under pressure to cut fuel procurement costs the share of coal and renewables in the countryrsquos energy mix would in this way continue to increase while the substitution from crude oil to natural gas will decline said Kunio Nohata Tokyo Gasrsquos Executive Officer and Senior General Manager of Gas Resources

ldquoThere is one condition [for scenario one to materialise] that LNG is competitive to the Japanese market [However] if the price differ-ence between coal and LNG persists [migra-tion to coal] will continuerdquo said Nohata

ldquoWe are positive on LNG prices becoming more competitive because of US LNG That will have a very big impactrdquo

But while current Henry Hub prices make the prospect of imported LNG appealing a rise in US gas prices on increasing LNG exports could mitigate the difference between these and oil-indexed contracts

ldquoFirst the differential will narrow Henry Hub prices will go up and Brent will come down in the traditional oil-linked contracts By 2016 there will not be much price advan-tage or no advantage at allrdquo said Regan

The pricing formulas used by US produc-ers in their long-term contracts vary One of Chenierersquos contract pricing models is under-stood to comprise a 115 of Henry Hub element and a constant of $300MMBtu to which a shipping cost of approximately $450MMBtu would need to be added to Japan

Based on this formula and a Henry Hub price of $400MMBtu delivered ex-ship (DES) prices of US LNG to Japan could be around $1200MMBtu However more bullish indica-tions point to Henry Hub prices at a higher level and Japan DES prices as high as $1500MMBtu The price basis for US LNG exports could still be attractive in five years or could look very different

Liberalisation to boost LNG demandAccording to Japanrsquos energy plan the full liberalisation of the countryrsquos power generation and retail markets is expected to be completed by 2020 with the aim of strengthening the

supply and demand balance increasing flexibility and enhancing competition

Additional reforms in the LNG import and gas distribution network are also to be enforced to encourage the entry of new par-ticipants the full liberalisation of gas sales and increased accessibility to LNG terminals

Trading houses and entrepreneurial com-panies incentivised to enter a more competitive market may favour gas-fired plants because they are more commercially viable and have less of an environmental footprint

The LNG supply and infrastructure is already in place with additional long-term volumes LNG vessels regasification terminals and gas-fired power plants expected to start serving the Japanese market by the end of the decade

Japanese companies have so far secured almost 17mtpa of LNG from the US for delivery starting in the period 2017-2019 while additional contracts are currently being negotiated

ldquoRight now Japan seems to have overcom-mitted to the US If all of those contracts turn into gas sales agreements and all of them come to Japan the US will become the sec-ond-biggest supplier after Australia and I do not think they want to do thatrdquo said Regan

ldquoEither those volumes will not be lifted because that is still an option or they will be traded They have the flexibility to do so and a lot of it is contracted to the trading houses so it does not necessarily have to go to Japanrdquo

Investment in downstream gas-fired power generators is also on the rise

Power utility Kansai Electric (KEPCO) on 19 March started commercial operations at its new unit at the Himeji No 2 power plant in Hyogo prefecture

The unit started four months ahead of schedule following the completion of mainte-nance inspection which was part of KEPCOrsquos broader plans to convert ageing steam-power generation systems into combined cycle gas turbine generation units in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions A raft of gas-fired capacity is due on line out to 2016

Coal stays in the mixIn many ways Japanese utilities are ahead of policy makers and already expanding their coal-fired power capacity with five new plants expected to be built in Japan by 2020 adding a total of almost 3000MW according to Tokyo Gas

Power utilities Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) and Chubu Electric are among the Japanese energy companies expected to build additional plants including the highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) and integrated coal gasification com-bined cycle (IGCC) plants

Financial institutions in Japan continue to support investment in upstream coal develop-ments overseas to meet the long-term energy demand of the resource-poor country

The Japan Bank for International Coopera-tion (JBIC) the international subsidiary of the Japan Financial Corporation (JFC) together with other national and international financial institutions has continued to fund invest-ments in upstream mines and power plants not only to import coal into Japan but also to meet the energy requirements of Japanese companies overseas

About half of the thermal coal produced in Australiarsquos Minerva coal mine in Queens-land which the JBIC has directly financed is sold to Japanese power utilities and cement manufacturers through long-term contracts In Colombia the worldrsquos fourth-largest exporter of coal JBIC has also financed coal mines and transport infrastructure assets in order to se-cure additional energy supplies for Japan

Since the 2011 earthquake and the nuclear shutdowns that followed Japanrsquos dependency on fossil fuels as a source of power generation has increased from 60 to 90 according to the energy plan

Imports of coal to Japan in 2013 were up by 35 from 2012 and 18 from 2009

Nuclear restarts remain uncertainDespite the central governmentrsquos support for making nuclear power a key baseload source for power generation the restart of Japanrsquos nuclear reactors which used to account for approximately 30 of Japanrsquos power generation capacity remains uncertain as the facilities have yet to pass the Nuclear Regulation Authorityrsquos (NRA) strict safety assessments and receive restart approval by their local governments

The NRA is currently assessing whether Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Powerrsquos No 1 and 2 nuclear reactors at the Sendai plant will be the first facilities to go through priority screening one of the assessmentrsquos final stages after having completed a comprehensive tsu-nami and earthquake review in March

However it remains unclear when and whether these reactors will pass the strict safety checks an NRA spokesperson said last week A lack of nuclear output will keep both coal- and gas-fired generation in demand

The agency has received a total of 17 applications for safety checks which involve a number of tasks including evaluating the reactorsrsquo response to possible severe accidents and assessing whether geological faults un-derneath nuclear plants are active ndash a factor that would result in a permanent shutdown of a plant Abache Abreu

Market reforms are meant to encourage the

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin

The short-term LNG market looks to be bound for change The current tight free-on-board market has pushed buyers and sellers to seek methods of flexibility But the way these methods are used is likely to change in the coming years

Flexibility comes in many forms including ship-to-ship transfers reload operations and for many buyers floating storage and regasi-fication units (FSRU) Most reload operations arise from contractual constraints that limit the long-term buyer from diverting their vol-ume directly from the seller

These inefficiencies in turn ultimately result in higher shipping costs greater boil-off and reloading charges that can add to the cost of cargo At the same time reload operations add to the security of supply and help the market deal with supply pressures in times of unexpected supply outages or spikes in demand

Ship-to-ship transfers allow for greater flexibility and cost saving on voyage econom-ics and incur much lower technical charges than reload operations

FSRUs allow buyers to commit to smaller volumes or to bring in the unit during the period of peak seasonal demand without a commitment to the expensive option of oper-ating an on-land terminal

But with expectations of more volumes entering the market between 2014 and 2017 as new projects come on line the need for reload operations with their associated costs could wane

Producers are less likely to include a strict destination restriction clause into new contracts as a profit-sharing agreement (PSA) is much more sensible option which allows both the long-term offtaker and the seller to take advantage of price spikes on the spot market

Under existing PSAs which were inte-grated into some recent long-term contracts

the producer can deliver volumes to another customer and split the upside with the origi-nal buyer This works particularly well when Middle East volumes are diverted from Europe to northeast Asia as shipping constraints are limited and Suez Canal fees can be avoided altogether

Such arrangements have worked par-ticularly well for Nigeria LNG (NLNG) where volumes have been diverted on a delivered ex-ship basis from Portugal France and Spain to customers in Japan and South Ko-rea However as NLNG is structurally short on shipping the voyage economics have to fall into place well in advance of the delivery date and such diversions are difficult to make for non-portfolio offtakers on a prompt basis

On the buy side the emergence of the FSRU market is likely to grow at a rapid pace FSRU units in Kuwait Argentina and Brazil have given buyers the necessary flexibility to import LNG in the short term during seasonal peaks of demand and short-term gas short-ages

The FSRU market also effectively allows buyers to survive current market conditions in anticipation of growing global availability and a potential reduction in price in the next five years Seasonal buyers could rely on FSRUs to import LNG until more production becomes available with an expected downside on long-term volumes

However there is increasing demand for mid-term supply contracts from potential LNG buyers who currently lack import infra-structure Mid-term volumes are in greater demand now compared with long-term posi-tions one LNG producer said

ldquoFSRUs are changing the existing market in a number of ways one of which is the growth in the number of potential importers who are lacking the means or commercial commitment to costly long-term projectsrdquo the producer said Roman Kazmin
