2018 Asia gas forum poll: Asian players predict the future of LNG (and did they call the World Cup right?)
Report summary
Wood Mackenzie recently hosted its annual gas forum in Tokyo, Shenzhen and Singapore. Around 160 people attended in total, a wide mix of established LNG buyers, trading companies, incumbents and emerging LNG players. As a tradition, we posed a series of questions in Tokyo and Singapore to understand market sentiment on some key issues. (In China we unfortunately aren't permitted to carry out industry surveys).
