LNGA 2018 takes place at a challenging time for the LNG business with accelerating growth in supply amidst strong demand growth in Asia (notably China), which accounted for over 75% of global imports. The tight market meant that 2017 ended with spot prices in Asia over $11/MMBtu, their highest level in three years. What does this mean for the LNG business in 2018 and beyond? LNG supply is expected to continue to grow strongly, increasing by around 30 mt in 2018. Once again a key question on where the markets for the additional production will be. Will China's LNG demand continue to grow rapidly? How much LNG will be imported by new markets in Asia, the Middle East and the Americas? Will north-west Europe be the balancing market? More importantly for the longer-term, what does this mean for commitments to new liquefaction capacity? With speakers and delegates drawn from all parts of the LNG chain, we can be sure of an insightful discussion of the issues facing the LNG business in 2018 at the conference.
Comprehensive pre- and post-conference workshops are also in place for delegates keen to deepen their knowledge on LNG Supply & Pricing and Developing LNG to Power Projects. These workshops will be conducted by Mr. Andy Flower, LNG and Natural Gas Consultant, UK and Mr. Ben Smith, Partner; Norton Rose Fulbright (Asia) LLP, Singapore, respectively.
