LNG contract trends

Report summary

Long-term contracting momentum continues in 2023, with more than 14 mmtpa signed. In 2022 the volume of long-term LNG contracts was at its highest since 2012, with more than 80 mmtpa of SPAs and HOAs signed. This dynamic has continued into 2023. Recently, we are seeing a renewed momentum of Brent-linked contracting. Thirteen Brent-linked contracts have been signed in the past five months. This includes a flurry of Omani LNG deals signed since December last year.
