Stay Ahead in the LNG Business with Infocus International’s Comprehensive Online Course

Infocus International Group has announced the new date for the best rated LNG Supply, Demand, Pricing & Trading online training, which will be commencing live on the 12th September 2023.

The LNG business is changing in response to the impact of the Covid-19 crisis, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and energy transition. As the world economy recovers from Covid-19, the demand for natural gas and LNG is growing but delays in taking a Final Investment Decision (FID) on new liquefaction projects and in the progress of capacity under construction since 2020 has slowed the expected increase in supply over the next 3 or 4 years. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has boosted LNG demand as Europe turns to LNG replace the reduction in pipeline gas supply from Russia, which had been the region’s largest sources of natural gas imports. In the longer-term, energy transition is putting pressure on all parts of the LNG chain to reduce emissions and is leaving buyers of LNG uncertain whether to enter into new long-term contracts, which in many cases requires the commitment to supply well into the 2040s when many countries will be moving to net-zero emissions if they are to meet targets they are setting.

LNG supply and demand in 2022 increased by 5.5% (20.6 mt), similar to the 18 mt (5.1%) increase in 2021. It took total global activity to 394 mt. However, the global outcome does not tell the full story as the major switch in trade flows with Europe’s imports increasing by 46 mt (60.5%) in 2022 while Asia, which had been the main source of import growth, saw a decline of 18 mt (6.7%) led by China where they fell by 15.5 mt (19.5). However, market prices in Europe and Asia have been volatile hitting record low of $2/MMBtu in 2020 as demand fell because of Covid-19 but soaring to $70/MMBtu in 2022 as buyers competed to secure scarce supply. Spot charter rates for LNG ships have similarly varied over a wide range since 2019.

But what is the outlook for the business? Will the turmoil of the last 3 years continue or will the commissioning of the 170 mtpa of capacity under construction in April 2023 lead to a more balanced market and prices varying over a narrower range that we have seen recently? The online course will, over 6 sessions, try to answer these questions. It will focus on commercial issues, but technology and shipping will also be covered. It will consider the outlook for the business over the period to 2040 in terms of markets, sources of supply, pricing and trading and the response to energy transition. It is designed not only for newcomers to LNG but also those who want to refresh their knowledge or who have experience in one part of the business or one region and want to widen their knowledge.

“Excellent overview of the LNG industry end-to-end. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn about the industry,” shared by a past attendee from Murphy Exploration and Production.

“The trainer was very clear and the content was communicated very well with many examples and was really very topical. I learned a lot during these sessions and will pass this on,” shared by another past attendee from Aquaelectra

A past attendee from Ministry of Petroleum shared, “Good, interesting and useful for my place of work. Taking into account an LNG plant that is being built in my country.”

Infocus International Announces the New Dates for LNG Supply, Demand, Pricing & Trading Online Course

Infocus International Group has announced the new date for the best rated LNG Supply, Demand, Pricing & Trading online training and it will be commencing live on the 27th March 2023.

2022 is proving to be a year of change for the LNG business. LNG demand is growing as Covid restrictions are eased but reduced investment during the pandemic and delays in construction are slowing the addition of much needed new liquefaction capacity. The Ukraine crisis has added to the demand for LNG as Europe implements policies to reduce and eventually end the import of pipeline natural gas from Russia. Trading patterns are changing as sellers respond to the need for more LNG in Europe by diverting cargoes from other markets. Prices for spot LNG supply in Europe and Asia have risen to unprecedented levels, putting pressure on buyers in price sensitive markets and delaying the start of imports into new markets. Developers of new liquefaction capacity are responding to the increasing demand with Final Investment Decisions (FIDs) taken on 38 mtpa of capacity in 2021 and 13.33 mtpa in the first five months of 2022. Capacity under construction in June 2022 was 138 mtpa but more is needed if forecasts of LNG demand growth is to be met. Buyers who delayed decisions on signing new supply contracts because of demand uncertainty are returning to the market, which has put the developers of planned new projects, especially in the USA, in a position to commit to construction. As a result, more FIDs are expected to be taken by the end of 2023.

Energy transition has brought increased demands for the LNG business to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in all parts of the LNG chain from natural gas production through to the combustion of regasified LNG in downstream markets. It raises questions over LNG role in long-term energy supply. Will demand increase as natural gas replaces coal in power generation and is used as a back-up fuel for renewables or will natural gas be seen as a fossil fuel whose consumption has to be reduced if targets of net zero carbon emissions are to be met? How are producers, buyers and investors responding to the increased long-term uncertainty?

The online course will, over 6 sessions, provide an overview of the LNG business in 2023 with a commercial focus but technology and shipping will also be covered. It will consider the outlook for the business over the period to 2040 in terms of markets, sources of supply, pricing and trading and the response to energy transition. It is designed not only for newcomers to LNG but also those who want to refresh their knowledge or who have experience in one part of the business or one region and want to widen their knowledge.

“The trainer was very clear and the content was communicated very well with many examples and was really very topical. I learnt a lot during these sessions and will pass this on,” said a past attendee from AQUALECTRA.

A past attendee from Petroleum Institute of Thailand also shared, “Thank you for the fruitful training course which I really appreciated. Everything was excellent. Training materials were well prepared and up to date.”
