Asia\u2019s appetite for LNG \u2013 while vast \u2013 is not likely to consume all of the additional volumes,\u201d said Rystad Energy head of gas market research Carlos Torres Diaz.<\/p><p>\u201cWith increasing export capacity,&nbsp;<strong>US LNG might be in a position to pose a serious challenge to Russian gas on the European market this year.&nbsp;<\/strong>Prices will come under pressure due to the healthy supply situation but the market is expected to tighten again after 2022, meaning that investment decisions for new liquefaction projects are needed this year in order to satiate future demand,\u201d Torres-Diaz added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Theme 1: Ramp up in US and Australian LNG production<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Global LNG production is expected to rise 11% and reach 350 million tonnes per annum (tpa) this year, as fresh liquefaction capacity is added, leading to a looser market. Total liquefaction capacity is set to increase to 434 million tpa in 2019, up almost 10% from 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThis is mostly driven by the commissioning of US projects. The US is expected to see capacity more than double in 2019, thereby making it the country with the third-largest exporting capacity and pushing Malaysia into fourth place. Australia could also overtake Qatar as the world\u2019s largest LNG exporter this year,\u201d Torres-Diaz remarked.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/1549380511-rs1.jpg?itok=x0kugJBX\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b792-20bd8d8fa069.storage.googleapis.com\/s3fs-public\/inline-images\/1549380511-rs1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(Click to enlarge)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 Things To Watch In Natural Gas A new report from&nbsp;Rystad Energy&nbsp;identifies&nbsp;five vital themes that will shape global gas markets in 2019.
