Course Description
The LNG business grew rapidly for most of the last decade as buyers sought alternative sources of supply to meet increasing natural gas demand and replace declining domestic production, and new record volumes of new liquefaction, shipping and regasification capacity came onstream. The global recession (and the development of US shale gas resources) led to oversupply and crashing prices. Now growth of demand, liquefaction, and LNG re-export are changing the dynamics of the global LNG market.
Presented by LNG experts this one-day course is an ideal opportunity for delegates to learn about the realities and challenges of this rapidly changing business.
