RECENT LNG
DEMAND AND SUPPLY
Gas consumption increased gradually in the past 10 years,
growth slowed down 2013-2014
Asian countries account for the biggest part of LNG import
In 2014, Asian countries imported 242.7 bcm LNG, nearly 73% of
the whole world import volume of LNG

LNG DEMAND IN ASIA
LNG consumption is normally related with the economic growth and energy
security concerns
For Japan, 1%~2% economic growth expected in 2015
For South Korea, not promising as 2014 because of weakness of export and
negative influences of MERS outbreak

Brief Conclusion: Considering the LNG pricing mechanism in
Asia, the demand of LNG is more influenced by the economic
growth, energy security and energy restructuring than LNG price

PROGRAM 9
Global Natural Gas Demand
• Remained weak in 2014
• Global natural gas demand will re-accelerate over the
next five years
• The growth will fall short of previous forecasts and amid
growing uncertainties
THE OUTLOOK FROM IEA
Global economy recovery
Carbon emission deduction requirement
Global gas price lower
Substitutes like cheap coal
Oil price drop
Weaker gas demand in Asia ( imported gas price high, economy growth slow down)
Global Natural Gas Supply
Low oil prices
Gas demand growing uncertainties
Undermine competitiveness of gas
Make prices of gas lower
Costly and low-return LNG projects will be delayed or even cancelled
SUPPLY GROWTH WILL SLOW DOWN OVER THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS
Projects under Construction lower oil prices raise little risk to the timing of these projects
New Projects
struggle to get off the ground at the current price
Global LNG export capacity to increase by more than 40% by 2020, 90% of the additions
coming from Australia and the United States of America
IEA presumes that LNG markets could start to tighten up by 2020, if current low prices persist
THE OUTLOOK FROM IEA

Finding 1: The fall in global oil price does have some impact on the price of LNG in the short and longer term.
Finding 2: The LNG price will continue to be linked to the oil price for the long term.
Finding 3: The U.S LNG project will compete with Australia on the Asian LNG market, However U.S LNG projects also have some uncertainties.
Finding 4: Some Australian LNG projects have been delayed or postponed because of their strategic plans and the low oil price.
(Adam Welch-APPEA) The spot price has certainly come down.
There is usually a delay of a few months in the contracted LNG
prices, and then they will start to fall quite significantly.
(Jeff Haworth-DMP) Suppliers don’t always like to unlink LNG
contracts with the oil price due to their huge investments.
.
(David Cullen-NWS) Australia will focus on JCC linked pricing, the
US on HH linked pricing; Both producers will be competing for the
same long term business;
(Alan Smart) A lot of International companies have started to have a
strategic review because the oil price has fallen 50%. They will
concentrate on high value assets and review if the new projects align
with their strategic plans.

CONCLUSION
•
AUSTRALIA CHINA LNG TRAINING
PROGRAM 29
Its current drop down is marks of entering into new circles of oil fluctuation and
is caused by multi-factors like the balance of supplies and demands.
The global natural gas demand will be supported to maintain increasing by the
expectation for stronger economic growth. But the medium-term growth speed
will fall down comparing with the past years.
The Asian natural gas market is the fastest growing gas market worldwide and
Asian countries used to be the biggest part of the LNG imports.
In the near-term, project developers will likely hesitate to commit to capital-
intensive liquefaction projects.
A loosening LNG supply environment and a narrowing of price differentials
between basins in early 2015 have altered the market conditions that previously
formed the basis for re-exports.
The proposed LNG Plants projects are increasing in the US and Canada, but the
total number of proposed projects are growing.
There is no doubt that Australia will become the largest LNG export in the
global but with challenges.
