$7 Billion Entry Fee

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)

1. Allows gas to be sold from remote suppliers Indonesia, Middle East, Australia, Algeria, etc.

to industrialized countries, Japan, Korea, Spain, UK and USA

2. The largest producer of LNG is Qatar.3. Was Indonesia but gas reserves depleted4. The largest market for LNG is Japan5. International trade in 2007 was ~165mtpy

(Equivalent to 217BCMa)

Historical Developmentof LNG Trade – Last 25 Years

• Projects grow from less than 1 mtpa to 4-6 mtpa• New supplies to Japan,

first imports to Korea, 1987, and Taiwan, 1990

• Late 1990s – present– Slower growth in Asian LNG demand – economic upsets– Growth in LNG demand in Europe, USA and Caribbean– New supply projects in Atlantic Basin and Middle East– Today’s LNG trade

Seasonal Demand PatternEurope & North America

Gas Markets

1. Residential & Commerciala. Heating demand highly seasonal (low load

factor)b. No fuel switching capabilities

2. Industriala. Fuel for factories, chemical plants, steel

mills, etc.b. Power generation for factories, chemical

plants, steel mills, etc.c. Chemical feedstock – ammonia, methanol,

GTLd. High load factore. Fuel switching capability

Ship-to-Ship Transfer

• Power Generationa. Combined cycle most popular

• GT + waste heat boiler Eff.~55%• Low CO2 emissions

7 – 8 tonnes/MW compared to25 – 27 tonnes/MW for coal

b. Higher load factor than residential & commercial

c. Quick response to demand swingsd. Summer demand higher than winter

Where Will it End?

Reduce Environmental Impact

1. Reduce CO2– Inject Produced CO2– Install most efficient drivers

• Cogeneration• Larger Turbines• Electric Motor Drivers

2. Reduce NOx– Install “Clean-burn” technology

3. Effect on Marine Environment– Use of air coolers
