LNG

The market for liquefied natural gas (LNG) is rapidly expanding as falling production costs and rising gas demand drives new production and reception projects. The first LNG deliveries to the UK for twenty years are due to begin in 2005, while some forecasts see LNG meeting up to 20% of UK gas demand in the next decade. Elsewhere in Europe new terminals are being developed and existing ones expanded to meet a rush in LNG supply, while major LNG production projects are developing in every continent. SMi's LNG VII gives you an ideal overview of the physical and commercial realities of this rapidly changing business.
