Report summary

Wood Mackenzie held its annual Global Gas & LNG forums in Tokyo and Beijing in May 2014. As is tradition, we asked attendees to complete an anonymous questionnaire to gauge the mood of LNG buyers on key global gas questions such as the scale of US LNG exports and levels of future Asian buyer HH exposure. With the World Cup kicking off on June 12th, we also asked who Asian buyers were backing to lift the trophy – Wood Mackenzie accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of these predictions!
