LNG: changing markets, changing economics

MJMENERGY is starting a new format of longer three or four-day courses, the first of these LNG Economic Modeling is coming up in Oxford, UK on the 28-31st October 2008. So we thoughts we’d take the opportunity to give an introduction to our longer courses by considering some of the issues surrounding LNG economics. 

For nearly forty years since the birth of the international LNG trade in 1964, liquefied natural gas (LNG) tended to be considered an expensive alternative to pipeline gas, suitable mostly for linking gas sources and markets where laying gas pipelines was unfeasible or uneconomic such as supplies to Japan from Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, Alaska and the Middle East, or deliveries to Spain from Algeria and other suppliers. Although LNG deliveries grew fairly steadily from the 1970s and 1980s, explosive growth has occurred from the late 1990s, driven both by economics and supply/demand issues.

Meet the newest member of the MJMEnergy team.

 

Tom Wolstenholme is working with us to help develop the administration of our training programmes and to assist with research projects associated with MJMEnergy consultancy work.

Tom left Oxford University in 2007 with a degree in Mathematics after previously studying at Worthing College in Sussex.

As you can see, his interests outside the office are largely involved in getting wet! Yes, that’s him in the photo.

As a professional paddlesport coach, he loves the challenge of rough water and regularly offers the benefit of his skills to aspiring canoeists.
Tom is also a youth leader in his local church and finds the work both rewarding and challenging, but really enjoys helping others to realise their full potential and press on to achieve the things of which they’re capable. That’s pretty much what we enjoy too, so Tom fits in well as part of the team at MJMEnergy!
