Indian deepwater gas at risk from spot LNG
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Deepwater projects are going to drive India's gas production starting 2021. Gas from these projects, operated by Reliance and ONGC, will have to compete for market share against cheap spot LNG. While gas demand is recovering post coronavirus, spot LNG prices should stay low till 2022. We believe that these deepwater volumes are at risk of being replaced by spot LNG. However, not all deepwater gas is equal. Upstream economics, market location and buyer preferences will all dictate the amount of domestic gas which is at a higher risk of being replaced.
