Energy market participants may be on either side of million-dollar gains/losses in the production, storage, trade, transportation and end-use markets for LNG. Historical data, timely analysis of market developments, and price forecasts are critical needs for informed decision-making. All companies — gas consumers (including electric generators), producers, marketers, traders, pipelines, shipping companies, as well as financial institutions — can benefit from a much deeper understanding of the worldwide market for LNG and the factors guiding spot trade that change from month to month.

• For LNG buyers, GLOBAL LNG helps end-users to make decisions on how, where, and when to secure swing gas supply, improving supply flexibility and diversifying supply sources. Even if you are not a direct buyer of LNG, gas markets such as Henry Hub in Louisiana, Continental Europe, or the Far East will be increasingly impacted by larger and larger swathes of LNG headed to the highest bidder. For a rising number of players, buying or hedging an entire cargo (or a portion of one) is a new tactical option.

• For LNG sellers, this service helps marketers to capture the highest netbacks and anticipate marketing opportunities before the window opens — and act before it closes.

• For brokers, traders and pipelines, GLOBAL LNG helps to identify swings in LNG deliveries on the upside and the downside, thus determining the need for pipeline-based alternatives.

• For financial institutions, this service will provide insight into the profitability of LNG-related infrastructure investments and the potential limits to growth in the gas sector. GLOBAL LNG not only provides short-term analysis, it also provides updates on supply/demand balances up to decades ahead, a crucial facet for companies engaged in financing multi-million dollar tankers or billion-dollar terminals.
