How to make money on the second wave of US LNG
Report summary
Despite the momentum surrounding new US LNG projects, it’s a fiercely competitive space for second wave project developers. The first wave of US LNG was sanctioned in a very different market environment – both globally and domestically. In reaction to changing market conditions and evolving buyer preferences, hopeful US LNG developers debuted new commercial offerings – most visibly with deals like NextDecade’s oil-indexed deal with Shell, Cheniere’s purchases from US producers Apache and EOG on international prices, or Tellurian’s upstream integration. But will these offerings revolutionize the US LNG industry? In this Insight, adapted from our presentation at September’s Gastech conference in Houston, we will explore: • Why developers are offering new commercial models; • The market opportunity for these offerings; and ultimately, • What it will take to be successful and make money on the second wave of US LNG
