The last two decades have been a period of strong growth and major change for the LNG business. Global trade has grown at an average rate of 6.6% pa, with the number of LNG importing countries increasing five-fold. LNG producers and sellers have had to respond to the requirements of both the established and the new buyers for more flexible contracts to meet increasingly uncertain demand in downstream power and natural gas markets. Short-term and spot trading now accounts for around one-third of overall activity compared with only 5% in 2000. Oil-indexed pricing has come under pressure as buyers look for prices that more closely respond to supply and demand in their downstream markets. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic brought new challenges in 2020 and the pressure to reduce emissions across the LNG chain has increased as companies and countries focus on energy transition.

Course Objective

This virtual course, to be held over three sessions of 3.5 hours each, will focus on the demand, supply and pricing of LNG. There will be a short introduction to the LNG chain and the infrastructure in place (liquefaction, regasification, shipping) in 2021 before the focus moves to the outlook for the industry. The objective is to give participants an understanding of the LNG business as it is today and the prospects for its development over the period to 2035. There will be the opportunity to participate in exercises, including identifying the preferred sources of supply for a new buyer and considering the options for pricing in a long-term contract.

Course Methodology

The course will be taught via a video conferencing platform, over 3 days of 3.5 hours each. The course instructor will adopt an interactive approach which will encourage active participation and delegate engagement.
