Global LNG Market Trends, Outlook and Business Prospects to 2015
LNGReports, Jan 2011, Pages: 180
Global LNG industry is in a state of flux. The industry is poised to grow strongly in the long term but due to the recent recession and abrupt competition from alternative sources like shale gas most companies are witnessing a dip in profits.
The clean fuel has transformed itself from a regionally traded fuel to a globally trading energy source. Low price, environmental friendliness and declining construction costs of LNG have resulted in a large number of countries and companies investing in LNG. United States alone has around 30 planned regasification terminals scheduled by 2015. This growth in demand is further fuelled by Asian and European countries, which have been converting their oil fired power plants to gas fired plants.
However, the recent recession effect has drastically affected the LNG industry. LNG was priced around $8/MMBtu in early 2008 and spot price was around $13/MMBtu. But, unlike oil price, which has bounced back, LNG is still trading at around $4-$5/MMBtu, which is affecting the profitability of most of the companies. Further, technological developments in shale gas are expected to impact the LNG growth, particularly in United States and few European countries.
Amidst such uncertainties, the “Global LNG Trends Outlook and Business Prospects” provides a clear insight into the current and future outlook of LNG industry. Backed up by strong quantitative data, insights in the report aid you in formulation of your expansion, retention strategies and in merger and acquisition decisions. The report evaluates the existing and upcoming LNG markets and provides you the required analysis and data to identify the potential investment destinations.
