Description

|
Recent improvements in technology have resulted in a a rapid
decline in the costs relating to the construction of LNG trains and to
an extent in the LNG shipping. With the addition of new ships, the
total capacity of the LNG fleet is expected to have risen by more than
40%, crossing 500 bcf of natural gas in 2006. The worldwide capacity
of LNG liquefaction is also expected to increase by almost 50% between
2003 and 2007 primarily due to increase in the number of production
facilities.
Future trade of LNG worldwide is expected to be more than 10 tcf
annually by 2010 from the current 6.5 tcf. Most of the demand is
expected in United States, followed by Northern Europe along with
considerable growth in Japan, South Korea, China and India. The
expected increase in future consumption of LNG will be a result of
combination of factors including growing natural gas prices, rapidly
growing demand for gas import, cheaper rates of LNG, and the desire of
gas producers to monetize their gas reserves. In America and Europe
there is a growing concern over the security of LNG supply and a
necessity to diversify their reliance on a single source.
The Analysis of the Global LNG Market (2007) report from Synergyst
analyzes the global LNG market and examines the recent trends and
future prospects in the LNG market. International LNG trade is also
discussed along with market developments in key markets. Report also
includes company profiles of leading LNG players.
