Global gas market long-term outlook - Asia gas and LNG - H1 2019

Report summary

Key highlights: - Asia LNG demand grew strongly in 2018 but the tide has turned in 2019 - China's gas demand weakens but unconventionals and lack of exploration drag down production to LNG's benefit - Japan shifts away from coal boosting LNG - Reduced production expectations in key markets like Vietnam, Malaysia and Bangladesh - India's production outlook looks more positive, reducing LNG but it's still early days to see if pollution measures boost gas demand - South & South East Asia: The engine room of long-term Asian LNG demand? - Substantial contracting activity so far in 2019

Regional demand
- JKT – Power sector competition and government fuel policy will be key drivers of LNG demand
- South Asia – new infrastructure revives latent gas demand
- South East Asia – the transition from exporter to importer will hit gas demand growth rates but benefit LNG
China gas pipeline trade
Other proposed transnational gas pipeline trade
Asia has the worst air quality globally
Carbon pricing in Japan, South Korea, China and Singapore
Asia’s population growth slows
GDP grows, but wide disparities in income levels will continue
