Global gas markets long-term outlook H1 2017 highlights: a tale of two basins

Report summary

There are signs of market recovery in the Pacific Basin as demand in China and South Asia looks increasingly promising and LNG supply shortfalls provide headroom for increased Atlantic LNG imports. But it is a different story in Europe where not only Russia but also Norway and Algeria seem determined to maintain market share. We see the risk for a subdued European market to drag Asian spot prices down. This short note outlines our new H1 2017 view.
