MARKET COMMENT
Algeria-sourced spot LNG cargo heads to Brazil
The 140000 cubic metre (cbm) Galicia Spirit is destined for Brazil for a mid-November de-livery carrying a cargo sourced from Arzew Algeria shipping information shows
The Galicia Spirit which is understood to be under control by Spainrsquos Endesa loaded from the Sonatrach-operated facil-ity on 4 November This may indicate a likely spot delivery from Endesa to Brazilian state-controlled Petrobras
The vesselrsquos exact port destination could not be immediately confirmed but the Gali-cia Spirit previously delivered a cargo from Portugalrsquos Sines terminal in late October ac-cording to vessel data
The 138000cbm British Merchant is also expected to arrive into Brazilrsquos Guanabara Bay on 17 November The BP-controlled vessel is carrying a cargo loaded from BPrsquos offtake capacity at Atlantic LNG
This marks the fourth delivery spotted for November earmarked for the Brazilian state-run energy company
The slowdown in northeast Asian de-mand has led to an increase of offers shown to Petrobras but purchases previously com-mitted months in advance and a limitation of storage capacity in the countryrsquos three float-ing storage and regasification units (FSRU) has prevented Petrobras from absorbing more of the length in the market
Market continues to remain bearishDespite the apporoach of the winter season which has traditionally supported demand across northeast Asia trading activity remains sporadic in the region traders said

National Grid revised its demand forecast for the working week upwards over the weekend with consumption slightly above seasonal norms compared with Friday forecasts that demand would remain 10 million cubic metre (mcm) below average this week
Forecaster WSI predicted temperatures between -1degC and +1degC of seasonal averages for the next seven days
The weekend saw the first flows from Centricarsquos Rough storage facility this winter period with the sites withdrawing at a rate of over 20mcmday on Saturday about a week later than in the previous year
However this may not yet materialise into strong outflows from the facility with the site not delivering gas into the system on Monday
The South Hook LNG terminal was delivering at 29mcmday at 1500 with a Qatari tanker docked at the facility over the weekend One tanker is due to arrive at the facility on Wednesday and another next Monday prompting expectation of continuing strong supply
The near curve edged lower in the session while the far curve rose possibly on an earlier rally in the oil market a driving factor due to the continuation of oil indexation on some long-term deals
NYMEX natural gas futures began the new trading week in bearish fashion sliding by up to 4 on turbulent recent trading activity
The December rsquo14 front-month contract settled the day down by $016MMBtu at a four-session low of $426MMBtu Bearish senti-ment brought the front month down from the four-month highs reg-istered at the end of the previous week The fall broke the nine-session winning streak which had restored gas futures above the $400MMBtu mark from the 11-month low registered just 10 sessions ago
Early 2015 contracts also fell in line with the front month while contracts with expiry dates over the remainder of the year closed lower by an average of $007MMBtu The difference between the March and April 2015 contracts remained high at $044MMBtu despite the price fall
Near-term demand fundamentals remain strong with sub-freezing temperatures predicted across high-demand regions east of the Rock-ies However the fall registered over 10 November may show the market correcting itself in the face of record production levels and high gas in-tank storage levels

discounts that sellers are offering with car-goes for January delivery marked at between $1100-1150MMBtu
The number of cargoes available for deliv-ery in both December and January is around five for each month The seasonal demand has proven to be weak so far this year
However one trader said that it is difficult to speak of real seasonal buying without any buyers actually seeing the winter tempera-tures yet
ldquoMost buying in Japan is based on weath-er projections and historical data We havenrsquot really seen any winter temperatures yet so whatrsquos happening now is hardly indicative of the seasonal demandrdquo one Europe-based seller said
In the mid-term however most traders remained bearish saying that production from three projects in eastern Australia could cause oversupply if they start according to schedule
APLNG project in particular is said to be likely to introduce volumes on the spot mar-ket as production is due to start in mid-2015 while long-term contracts will not commence until 2016
ldquoAny additional length on this market could drive prices lower especially past win-ter The demand hasnrsquot been able to keep up with supply and thatrsquos currently reflected in the pricesrdquo a Singapore-based trader said
The same trader said that some sellers are now taking short positions for deliveries in 2015 as they expect prices to slide further
Tohoku to receive Total LNG cargoFrench oil and gas company Total sold a cargo to Japanese utility Tohoku Electric for late December delivery two traders said
The deal struck last week was done in the high $1100sMMBtu on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis said one trader in the Pacific and another in the Atlantic The shipment will arrive in Japan in late December one of the traders said
A Tohoku representative did not immedi-ately reply to requests to confirm the deal A Total representative was not immediately available for comment
Tohoku and other small Japanese utilities with limited storage tank space will need to procure LNG on a prompt basis to meet winter demand traders said
Larger buyers in the region such as To-kyo Electric (TEPCO) and Kansai Electric are
not expected to require LNG supply until late January
KOMIPO awards partial cargo tender South Korearsquos state-run utility Korea Midland Power Company (KOMIPO) awarded a cargo in a tender to an LNG trading company
KOMIPO closed the tender for a single partial cargo on 24 October scheduled to ar-rive in Gwangyang in second half December according to published tender details
KOMIPO declined to discuss the price of the cargo nor the trading company that would be supplying it Market sources said offers had been heard in the low $1300sMMBtu although this could not be immedi-ately confirmed
Yari LNG released from sea trials The newbuild 160000cbm Yari LNG has been released from the shipyard and is now heading south through the South China Sea
The vessel left the South Korean shipyard last week around 5 November and headed southwest toward the Indian Ocean
The tri-fuel diesel electric (TFDE) vessel is owned by Greek shipping company Cardiff Gas Its charter is understood to be still open
A shipping source said the delivery of the vessel was heard to have been delayed as much as possible but was finally released from the shipyard
Yari LNG was due to be delivered from South Korean shipbuilder DSME in 2014
Chugoku Electric has begun the restart of its 1GW Shin Onoda power plant this month after repairing a conveyer belt damaged in an August fire the company said
The blaze at the coal-fired plant forced Chugoku to enter the LNG spot market for fuel to power its other generators Chugoku based in Hiroshima supplies power to Japanrsquos south western region
Chugoku started one of Shin Onodarsquos 500MW coal-fired facilities on 8 November the company said in a press release It plans to restart the other generator around 20 No-vember the company added
Chugokursquos LNG procurement between April and September rose 22 compared to the same six-month period the year before to 138m tonnes the company said in its latest earnings report Its LNG consumption during
the same period rose 18 year over year the company said
Chugokursquos crude oil consumption fell 73 the utility said in its financial statement Japanrsquos utilities are reducing the amount of oil they use to power their generators meaning that any changes in electricity demand could have a greater direct influence on their LNG and coal purchasesBen Lefebvre

Japan import
Japanrsquos Chubu to buy GDF SUEZ LNG on Asia spot price Paris-headquartered energy firm GDF SUEZ has signed a two-year contract with Japanese utility Chubu Electric for the sale of 12m tonnes of LNG Chubu announced on 6 November
GDF SUEZ will send the supply via 20 shipments of about 60000 tonnes each on a delivered ex-ship (DES) basis Chubu said at a press conference during the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
The LNG will come from multiple GDF SUEZ projects in Yemen Algeria Nigeria and Trinidad Chubu Electric fuels manager Hiroki Sato said
GDF SUEZ will start shipments in January 2015 Chubu said The contract will be partly
linked to an Asian spot LNG price index Chubu declined to specify which price index it used in the contract
Chubu is seeking to increase the propor-tion of its LNG contracts that include links to spot-price indexes Chubu president Akihisa Mizuno said during a presentation at the conference
The tone of the global market has stead-ily changed in recent months with more talk emerging of gas and hybrid price indexation and buyer consortia especially in Asia
Chubu has committed to a chunk of equity funding for the first US Freeport LNG train which could start producing in 2018 Ben Lefebvre
Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021Mexicorsquos state oil and gas company Pemex has set its sights on launching the countryrsquos first LNG exports early next decade through a liquefaction plant planned for the southwest coast
The company intends to begin LNG exports in 2021 from a liquefaction plant planned for Salinas Cruz in Oaxaca state presented in a proposal by Pemexrsquos head of natural gas Jorge De la Huerta at an event in Houston on 5 November
From there LNG volumes can be trans-ported to markets in northeast Asia and South America
The facilityrsquos Pacific coast location will give the project a competitive shipping dis-tance advantage when compared with LNG facilities currently under construction for the US Gulf coast De la Huerta said
LNG volumes could be delivered to con-sumers in Asia priced at $9-10MMBtu a source close to the project told ICIS
The Salinas Cruz project has a proposed 5mtpa capacity based on the construction
of either one of two liquefaction trains Total investment in the facility has been estimated at between $5bn-$7bn
Gas for the plant will be transported from currently producing assets on the east coast of Mexico through a newbuild 156-mile pipeline linking the countryrsquos two coastlines A 36-inch pipeline with capacity to transport up to 1 billion cubic feet (bcf)day will be constructed by Pemex in association with the private sector
Approximately 075bcfday in pipeline capacity will be destined for the LNG export project while 025bcfday will be sent to Pemexrsquos existing Salinas Cruz refinery and a co-generation power project proposed for the site
Natural gas imported through pipelines linking to the southern US will allow the gas to be diverted from Mexicorsquos east coast
ldquoWe have around 3 bcfday of natural gas being produced in the south east of the country When pipelines linking to the US are completed we will be able to ❯❯ Page 12

The persistent lack of higher winter demand profiles from LNG importers con-tributed to a major drop in spot prices this week with key December and January import markets falling to below $1200MMBtu
The results of an Australian sell tender brought greater price transparency to the falling market
Buying interest from the markets of Ja-pan South Korea and China are weak with the situation similar in South America amid reports of a vessel being diverted away from Argentina due to low demand
The ICIS East Asia Index (EAX) for Decem-ber fell to $11725MMBtu by 6 November a loss of $180MMBtu over the week and with Januaryrsquos premium fading to just $0113MMBtu Compared to this time last year the December price is down by $600MMBtu and is almost $200MMBtu below 2012
In both those years the EAX had risen to above $2000MMBtu for March delivery towards the end of the east Asian winter period Current supplydemand fundamen-tals indicate that a repeat of this trend looks unlikely
Pockets of demand emerged including Israel and Turkey but these do not represent major selling opportunities
Caught in the middle of the downturn were Spanish sellers with high domestic LNG stocks and falling margins
One factor potentially stemming the downturn was the limited regional availability of shipping
In the charter market the supply imbal-ance between Atlantic and Pacific basins underpinned the difference in geographical charter rate spreads with the former holding a clear premium in the short-term market
But the bearish LNG supply tone remained clear with much cheaper prices also heard on a free on board (FOB) basis especially from Trinidad A number of Qatari cargoes were heard to be on offer too
Amid the weakness the market awaits the start-up of Australian liquefaction in 2015 with BGrsquos QCLNG plant due to start produc-tion in December
In the background Brent crude prices continued to dip sitting more consistently below $8500bbl over the week The last three-month front-month average is now close to $95bbl down by almost $15bbl from the preceding three-month average
Looking further ahead Dominican Re-public power generator AES Dominicana was understood to have completed the purchase of four cargoes for delivery in 2015 following a recently-closed tender
Prices were pegged within a $1200-1400MMBtu range with one cargo to be delivered each quarter The company has pre-viously bought from majors BP and Shell

NWS volumes add pressure Australiarsquos NWS was understood to have been awarded a free on board (FOB) price this week for late November at $1050MMBtu and a delivered ex-ship (DES) cargo of $1150MMBtu for mid-to-late December
The lack of buying interest from end-users triggered the expectation that sellers or port-folio participants would most likely be the successful parties in the tender award Mar-ket sources said London-headed EDFT was a potential winner but this was not confirmed
The fall in near-month spot prices led some sellers to talk as far forward as March in terms of trying to set up deals Little was cur-rently achievable into Japan South Korea and China although in the last-named market private gas distributor ENN was heard to have secured a cargo for late December
With the exception of an upward price rally in September the tone of the market has predominantly been weak over the second half of the year and even before Steady pro-duction and adequate stocks have cut buyer motivation to enter the spot market
Bids that would previously have been ruled out are now closer to market value This includes interest from India where gas network operator GAIL was understood to be probing the spot market for December cargoes at prices between $1000-1100MMBtu
Falling FOB The step-change down in the market became gradually clearer over the course of the week with further feedback on falling FOB prices from Trinidad A cargo was heard to have been sold at below $1100MMBtu ndash and potentially much lower
While weaker Asian markets have taken the headlines demand is also muted from South America with Brazil considered the only likely spot buyer at present But even Petrobras has seen improved access to com-peting fuels amid lower crude oil prices rising domestic gas output and rising hydro-electricity output
Falling prices have hit achievable netback prices although the lack of demand makes most calculations currently irrelevant Accord-ing to ICIS assessments the more efficient tri-fuel diesel electric (TFDE) vessels could permit an FOB price in the mid- to upper-$1000sMMBtu from Qatar into east Asian markets for prompt loading
israel issues tender Turkey active Mediterranean buyers ndash often at the edge of events within the global market ndash came to the fore this week
State-run Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) was understood to have tendered a cargo for delivery for next February with a deadline of 18 November
The 151000 Expedient is the countryrsquos current floating storage and regasifica-
tion unit following the departure of the 138000cbm Excellence in September
IEC last received a cargo in August from BP aboard the 151000cbm British Diamond from Trinidad Israel requires lean gas rather than richer specifications from providers such as Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria
Price spreads between all LNG importing markets narrowed in the past week Most Euro-pean countries saw falling domestic hub prices despite rising seasonal temperatures and had no need to try and secure cargoes Turkey was to receive its second November cargo late in the month shipping data showed
State buyer BOTAS expects the arrival of the 155000cbm Arctic Aurora at Aliaga on 27 November following the berthing of the 140000cbm Arctic Voyager at Aliaga on 9 November ship data indicates Some sources suggest one of the cargoes could represent a back-to-back trade between Statoil and Gunvor with the Swiss trader then selling to BOTAS to backfill a short position
Qatargas is expected to provide a string of cargoes to Turkey this winter alongside BP
Turkey and Greece could benefit from the falling global market should the price trend continue
Spain is sinking High LNG stocks and falling delivered prices put Spanish sellers in an increasingly difficult position this week with FOB prices from the Mediterranean country sliding and likely to fall further
Latest system operator data from Enagas showed a line up of eight reloads provisionally booked from Spanish terminals in December including four from Huelva Debate continued over the value of in-tank LNG a key element behind the viability of reload prices
The terminal at Barcelona is still to receive two vessels this month and with no reloads booked until the end of the year it looks likely to approach near full capacity
Given falling DES prices in Asia and South America any fresh back-to-back prompt re-load spot trade would have to be concluded at much lower prices with end users unlikely to be in the market in the short term at least
Elsewhere in Europe the UKrsquos Grain LNG terminal performed a first cool-down op-eration as capacity holder Centrica delivered LNG into the 125000cbm Wilgas this week
Centrica is understood to have chartered the vessel in the $30000sday for a 65-day round-trip voyage The vessel is expected to pick up volumes from another European port before heading east through Suez
regional charter imbalance The regional supply imbalance between available prompt vessels in the Atlantic and Pacific is continuing to underpin geographical charter spreads
There is effectively zero availability in the Atlantic Basin until the second
The NWS FOB price for late November
was heard at $1050MMBtu

half of November shipbrokers said The 160000cbm Lobito is still open once it dis-charges its Bonny-sourced cargo in Brazil on behalf of Total in mid-November although prospective charter interest is understood to be firming The diesel electric vessel is thought to be valued in the low-$70000sday though this could not be confirmed One of two other similar vessels open in the Atlantic in Novem-ber is being offered in the $80000sday
The Lobitorsquos sister vessel the 160000cbm Soyo is understood to shortly start a 90-day charter with UK-based BG Group The transaction is thought to have occurred around mid-October and would allow for a November cargo lifting In the meantime the 160000cbm Cubal subchartered by RWE has lifted a Spanish reload
Mid-term charter talks to set markerWest African producer Nigeria LNG (NLNG) is said to have rejected prices in its one-year charter tender above the $63000day mark
Following the close of a week-long tender window for up to five diesel electric ships on 15 October numerous shipowners have been told that ideas in the mid-$65000day were too expensive ICIS understands
Shipowners are factoring in the perceived values from security of employment over a bearish 12-month outlook However ship-owners are also aware that NLNG would be in a position to pay more than a trader on a comparable time horizon
ldquoWith NLNG there will be no idle time so they donrsquot mind paying a premium With traders sometimes you want a lower rate to compensate for idle time between bidding for volumesrdquo one shipbroker said

GAIL enters final negotiations for US Sabine Pass FOB saleindian gas network operator GAIL is understood to have short-listed three com-panies for the sale of its 1mtpa US Sabine Pass LNG volumes which are being marketed on a free on board (FOB) basis for a five-year period
Multiple parties could gain tranches of the 1mtpa on offer with an award likely between the end of November and mid-December Germany-headquartered utility EON a trading house and an Asian company have all made it onto the shortlist ICIS un-derstands
Several participants including two Switzerland-based trading houses and Rus-siarsquos Gazprom were understood to have had advanced sales discussions with GAIL although Gazprom would not have made it to the final three
The value of the entire 1mtpa volumes for the five-year period is estimated at $25bn
The potential bid level from market par-ticipants for the Sabine Pass volumes was previously understood to be $100-150MMBtu above GAILrsquos contract price However the exact bid price could not be confirmed with GAIL
The remaining 25mtpa Sabine Pass LNG volumes will be sold to Indian companies for use in the domestic market an industry source said
GAIL secured 35mtpa of volumes through a 20-year long-term contract from US-based Chenierersquos plant in Louisiana
The Indian company agreed a purchase price of 115 of the US Henry Hub natural gas futuresrsquo price plus a $300MMBtu lique-faction fee on an FOB basis
The construction of the Sabine Pass plantrsquos train 4 is 50 completed and volumes from this are likely to start flowing in the first quar-ter of 2018 a market source said
Cheniere had estimated that the Sabine Pass plantrsquos trains 3 and 4 which are con-tracted to South Korearsquos KOGAS and GAIL respectively would come on line sometime between 2016 and 2017 Trains 1 and 2 are marketed to UK-based BG Group and Spainrsquos Gas Natural Fenosa
GAIL is still planning to set up an LNG trading desk in Singapore by 2017 before the Sabine Pass volumes start flowing
ldquoFOB volumes from US projects will be actively traded from Singaporerdquo a source close to the process said Ranjana Kaushal
Shellrsquos LNG Canada finalises electricity rate with BC Hydro Shellrsquos planned 12mtpa LNG Canada ex-port project in British Columbia has secured electricity rates with the province-run BC Hydro the province announced on 4 Novem-ber
This gives Shell a first-mover advantage in a province still determining how to provide adequate supply to the proposed export projects Royal Dutch Shell is the operator of the proposed Kitimat project along with Chinarsquos PetroChina South Korean gas com-pany KOGAS and Japanese trading company Mitsubishi
BC Hydro set the rate with the Shell-led consortium at (Canadian) $8302megawatt hour (MWh) before taxes
The rate for LNG customers will then increase by 2 each year until 2024 after which the rate will stay constant In compari-son the average rate for a non-LNG industrial user will be $5434MWh which will stay constant until a gradual ramp-up after the expansion costs are covered
BC Hydro forecast that 3000GWyear of electricity would be required for the proposed LNG projects although the utility has not ac-counted for a set number of projects given that none of the planned Western Canadian projects have reached final investment
The announcement by BC Hydro is anoth-er step forward for western Canadian project participants to determine costs
However BC Hydro would likely have to acquire new generation should another LNG project commit to a rate with the utility Min-ister of Mines and Energy Bill Bennett told members of the press on 4 November
Projects proposed in the Prince Rupert area would be even more pressed to secure
electricity from BC Hydro given that there would not be sufficient transmission in place
LNG projects could use internal gas-fired generation for electricity use or come up with an array of renewable energy other than hy-dro such as wind
Shellrsquos benefit in securing BC Hydro rates early on will likely cascade to the projectrsquos overall target to reduce emissions The prov-ince also recently established in late October strict carbon emission targets for the export project of 016 carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) tonnes per tonne of LNG produced Globally LNG facilities have emissions intensi-ties of 018CO2eLNG tonne and 027CO2eLNG tonne the province estimated
Local PNW stakeholders hold back Aside from securing electricity planning western Canadian export projects must still gain acceptance among the First Nations in the province in order to gain full right-of-way passage Some projects such as Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS and its Pacific NorthWest LNG venture have faced more difficult approvals from First Nations due to initial site designs and use of the marine channels near the site on Lelu Island
On 5 November a consortium of First Nations issued a statement condemning the proposed 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest LNG project citing concerns in potential damage to salmon habitats and being left out of the consultation process
The statement represented the Wetrsquosuwetrsquoen Gitanyow First Nation Lake Babine Nation and Gitxsan Nation

The marketing consortium for Chilersquos Quintero LNG import terminal has issued an open season call-of-interest round for companies seeking to take new capacity made available through a terminal expansion programme
GNL Chile the consortium which repre-sents the Quintero terminalrsquos existing three offtakers ndash power generator Endesa Chile Chilean state refiner ENAP and local gas dis-tributor Metrogas ndash announced the launch of the open season on 4 November
The company expects the process to last approximately a year with the aim of finalis-ing new offtake contracts by the end of 2015
Work is then expected to begin on the expansion project in 2016 enabling the start of new contracts in 2019 a source within Chile told ICIS
The installation of a new storage tank at the facility and a fourth vaporising unit is ex-pected to add 5 million cubic metres (mcm)day in additional capacity taking total send out capacity to 20mcmday (just over 5mtpa) by 2019 A total of 32mcmday in regasifica-tion capacity will be made available through the open season round
Companies based both in Chile and internationally will be able to make offers in the open season although Quinterorsquos current offtakers will not be able to participate said a source within Chile
Offers will be considered based on the commitment to take a minimum of 06mcmday Contract terms of 10 15 and 20 years will be considered through the open season round ICIS understands
An additional 18mcmday in capacity made available through the expansion stage has been reserved by GNL Chile and can be offered either to the existing offtakers or new entrants outside the open season process at a later date
Government supportThe 32mcmday offered through the open season represents the amount Chilersquos government promised to make available to new market entrants through its latest energy policy announced in May this year
Energy minister Maximo Pacheco an-nounced that the government would seek to extend the use of imported natural gas through the country enforcing open access
rights at the countryrsquos existing two terminals ndash Quintero and Mejillones in the north ndash as well as promoting the development of a third regasification facility in the south of the country
Managers at the Quintero terminal have also been focused on finalising the installa-tion of a new vaporising unit at the terminal which will expand capacity from 10mcmday to 15mcmday from early next year
Capacity will remain divided between the three current offtakers when the first expan-sion stage comes online
Power generators on Chilersquos SIC power grid such as Colbun and AES Gener are expected to lead domestic interest in the open season tender The companies currently purchase regasified LNG volumes from the terminalrsquos existing offtakers and in 2012 announced plans to build a second import terminal in the Quintero bay region
The parties awarded a contract for the provision of a floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) to Norwegian shipbuilder Hoegh in September 2012 however pro-gress on the project has since ground to a halt

Turkey could establish a thriving LNG-for-trucks business as the country is in the process of expanding its existing capacities and export volumes to neighbouring Greece and Bulgaria a source at the Turkish gas in-cumbent BOTAS told ICIS
Turkeyrsquos current capacity at the privately owned Aliaga LNG terminal is 50 trucksday and approximately 75 trucks at the BOTAS-operated Marmara LNG terminal Hizir Hakan Unal gas specialist at BOTAS said
However their combined capacities could increase to 200 trucksday with each truck able to carry almost 60 cubic metres of lique-fied natural gas
Unal who has recently published a report titled ldquoThird Party Access to Turkeyrsquos natural gas transmission system 2007-2013rdquo said Turkish gas companies were interested in this niche business not only for the domestic market but also for exports to Greece and Bulgaria
The two EU countries could be ideal mar-kets for Turkey given the existence of a num-ber of industries currently using heating oil propane or gasoil as feedstock that would benefit from switching to cheaper and more
environmentally friendly natural gas Industries that are isolated from natural
gas pipelines are increasingly turning to trucked LNG across all four corners of Europe
The wider trucking industry itself is emerging as a new source of demand with recent developments promoting LNG as a transportation fuel
The European Commission has proposed that by 2020 LNG refuelling stations for trucks are to be installed every 400km along roads of the Trans European Core Network Two such arteries run up to the border that Turkey shares with Greece and Bulgaria
In an interview with ICIS Michael Thomadakis a member of the board at the Greek regulator RAE said there was no legal obstacle to such a trade as far as Greece was concerned
He said RAE had been on the verge of granting a license to a company which had asked to import LNG in trucks from Turkey but the application was unsuccessful because the applicant could not prove its financial vi-ability
ldquoThere is no problem to import gas on trucks or otherwise from Turkey ❯❯ Page 13
Keppel signs 1mtpa HoA with PetronasSingapore-based Keppel Gas a fully-owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings has signed a 10-year 1mtpa heads of agreement (HoA) purchase deal with Malaysiarsquos incumbent oil and gas producer Petronas the company said on 4 November
The agreement would supplement two existing pipeline gas deals under which Kep-pel purchases gas from Malaysia
It is contingent on Keppel Gas receiving an LNG import license and regulatory approv-al from Singaporersquos Energy Market Authority
The LNG supplies will be sourced from Petronasrsquo global portfolio
ldquoThis is another of many steps that Kep-pel has committed over the last decade and more to support our governmentrsquos efforts to improve the competitiveness of energy sup-plies to Singaporerdquo said Ong Tiong Guan the CEO of Keppel Infrastructure
Industry sources in Singapore said the deal is likely to be indexed to crude oil One source added that the price of LNG is likely to be above what Keppel Gas pays for pipeline deliveries from Malaysia
Keppel Infrastructure operates a 1300MW combined cycle gas fired power plant in Jurong Island in Singapore
The company signed a gas supply agree-ment with Petronas back in 2005 Under that agreement up to 115 million cubic feet (33 million cubic metres)day of natural gas are delivered to Singapore for a period of ap-proximately 18 years starting mid-2006
Additional gas sales from Petronas to Singapore could mean that Keppel expects to see additional domestic demand or has found downstream customers for the volumes The pipeline delivering gas from Malaysia is also connected with Indonesia This could poten-tially allow Keppel and Petronas to balance their LNG contract via pipeline gas
Keppel Gas has also a gas supply contract with US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil which started in 2009 Under this contract Keppel delivers gas to ExxonMobilrsquos petro-chemical complex in Jurong Island Roman Kazmin
Decision delays for Rosneftrsquos Pechora LNG plant in NenetsThe proposed 52 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Pechora LNG project in the Nenets autonomous district of Russia will not have a finalised commercial structure until the end of 2014 ICIS understands
The project is operated by independent Russian oil and gas holding Alltech which in May signed an agreement with Russiarsquos incumbent oil producer Rosneft to create a joint venture
The structure was supposed to be final-ised on 1 September 2014 according to a statement issued in May by Rosneft
Pechora LNG was not granted an LNG export license in a decision by the Russian government that came after the initial May announcement It could still export LNG on the basis of a license held by Rosneft How-ever Rosneft has gained a strong bargaining position with Alltech group on the back of the legislative decision
Rosneft has faced sanctions from the United States on the back of Russiarsquos involve-ment in the conflict in Ukraine
This has left the company with limited op-tions of raising finance It has turned to the Russian government for assistance request-ing a loan from the National Wealth Fund
The cost of Pechora LNG is estimated at $53bn-66bn
Rosneftrsquos limited capacity to raise finance on certain markets could have led the compa-ny to reconsider its priorities It is developing the Far East LNG project on Russiarsquos Sakhalin island together with the US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil
The capital-intensive project is further advanced than Pechora LNG as its resource base is already producing sufficient volumes of gas
ldquoPechora LNG is still in the very early stages The location of the project is also chal-lenging I think that Rosneft has other priori-ties particularly with recent softness on crude marketsrdquo an industry source in Russia said
Rosneft which relies primarily on profits driven by crude exports from Russia is facing a dramatically different economic environ-ment compared with May
Brent crude has fallen to below $85bbl compared to over $100bbl earlier this year
Coupled with ongoing sanctions Rosneft could choose to delay the project until the economics become more viable both in terms of crude-indexed LNG sales and the cost of financing Roman Kazmin

Colbun has instead focused on taking ca-pacity at the existing terminal firstly through negotiations with the current offtakers in 2013 and then through a possible capacity lending agreement with ENAP in 2014
Discussions between the parties for 045mtpa in capacity ground to halt in September with Colbun instead signing an agreement to buy 900mcm of natural gas from Metrogas between 2015 and 2019 (see GLM 4 September 2014) James Fowler

Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021
divert volumes to the south west for LNG ex-portsrdquo Pemex gas and petrochemical director Alejandro Martinez told ICIS
Pemexrsquos original plans focused on the use of floating LNG technology(see GLM 16 July 2014) However the company is now leaning towards the construction of an onshore facil-ity Martinez added
PartnersPemex is unlikely to be able to develop the project on its own sources close to the development told ICIS previously and is open to keeping only a minority stake in the venture Conversations over a future partnership have already been held with at least one existing global LNG supplier ICIS understands
Plans for a tolling mechanism for offtak-ers could be announced as early as next year according to De la Huerta Prices at which gas will be sold by Pemex will likely be regulated by Mexicorsquos energy regulatory commission CRE under regulations established through Mexicorsquos new energy reforms
Several other export projects have been proposed for Mexicorsquos Pacific coast US-based utility Sempra has spoken previously about its desire to convert its existing Costa Azul LNG terminal on the Baja California peninsula into a liquefaction facility with the aim of sending US-produced shale gas into northeast Asian markets
Sempra is currently conducting gas stud-ies to consider the size structure and eco-nomics of a potential export facility Semprarsquos chief executive officer Debra Reed said during the third-quarter 2014 earnings presentation on 4 November
The company has received strong interest from potential offtakers for Costa Azul Reed added although the impact on contracts with Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE must also still be considered The import contract ndash which ends in 2028 ndash brings in about $150m in cash flow a year Reed said

Hoegh EGAS sign 2015 time charter contractNorwegian-based ship owner Hoegh LNG said on Monday it had signed a five-year time charter contract with Egyptrsquos EGAS that will start by the end of the first quarter of 2015
The contract refers to the delivery of a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) vessel which would help deliver gas to Egyptrsquos chronically short domestic market
The newbuild 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Hoegh Gallant has been undertaking sea trials around South Korea over the last few months amid reports of ongoing delays to its potential employment as the planned Egyp-tian import terminal and uncertainty over contract details
The vessel was originally due to be deliv-ered into Egyptrsquos Ain Sokhna in August but this was later put back to December Hoegh
said it is considering how it could utilise the vessel as an LNG carrier before it is delivered to the Egyptian port
Hoegh said the FSRU contract is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA (earn-ings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) of $40m This would equate to a daily fee of around $110000 based on a 365-dayyear utilisation of the vessel However with additional operating costs estimated to be $20000day according to one ship analyst the total charter hire would be closer to $130000day
The media has been full of reports of ru-moured LNG supply deals into Egypt A story from the local press on 1 November cited a government official saying previous agree-ments with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Algeriarsquos Sonatrach were not binding Stories appear
almost daily from Egypt over the cuts in gas supply to the power grid and to industrial users
LNG exports from the countryrsquos two lique-faction plants have all but ceased due to the lack of available feedgas
Ongoing negotiations over how to develop further import infrastructure are focused on pipe links to the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan gas fields
Hoegh on 4 November also said it was awarded an FSRU contract by Colombian Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) for a new LNG import terminal in Cartagena on the Atlantic coast
The contract is subject to SPEC obtain-ing necessary environmental licenses for the project which is expected to start operations mid-2016 Hoegh said Edward Cox

Final investment was initially planned to be reached in late 2014 as the PETRONAS-led project has publicly placed pressure
on the BC provincial government to pass favourable terms on a separate LNG royalty tax
Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman is scheduled to meet with PETRONAS chief executive officer Tan Sri Datorsquo Shamsul Azhar Abbas for the next in a series of negotiations to enable the project to reach a final investment commitment Ruth Liao

Indian-Japanese joint buyers consider swapsA joint LNG purchasing agreement between Indiarsquos GAIL and Japanese utility Chubu Electric could include LNG swaps between the compa-nies GAIL managing director Bhuwan Chan-dra Tripathi said on 6 November The two firms are now in ldquoadvanced stages of discussionsrdquo regarding the memorandum of understanding they entered into in March 2014 Tripathi said during a panel discussion at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
A joint venture would allow them to ne-gotiate prices with LNG producers as a team and allow for swapping cargoes to better meet demand obligations Tripathi said
LNG buyers across Asia are exploring joint buying of gas as a way to possibly cut procurement costs Chubu Electric besides the GAIL alliance talks is also talking to Singapore-based Pavilion Energy
Although such a strategy might work for buyers in one market ndash such as the buying alliance Chubu and Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) announced last month ndash LNG alliances join-ing buyers in different countries with different domestic market conditions would have less chance for success said Jonathan Stern senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies ldquoI can understand the case for the Japanese but find it difficult to understand one for two end-users in two different marketsrdquo
Osaka Gas Japanrsquos second-largest natural gas utility said on 5 November it also is in talks to join the fuel buyersrsquo alliance TEPCO and Chubu Electric formed last month local media reported
Osaka Gas is the latest Japanese company to seek a joint venture to buy LNG in the world market It would add its demand to the alliance which would already be the worldrsquos largest Ben Lefebvre

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

National Grid revised its demand forecast for the working week upwards over the weekend with consumption slightly above seasonal norms compared with Friday forecasts that demand would remain 10 million cubic metre (mcm) below average this week
Forecaster WSI predicted temperatures between -1degC and +1degC of seasonal averages for the next seven days
The weekend saw the first flows from Centricarsquos Rough storage facility this winter period with the sites withdrawing at a rate of over 20mcmday on Saturday about a week later than in the previous year
However this may not yet materialise into strong outflows from the facility with the site not delivering gas into the system on Monday
The South Hook LNG terminal was delivering at 29mcmday at 1500 with a Qatari tanker docked at the facility over the weekend One tanker is due to arrive at the facility on Wednesday and another next Monday prompting expectation of continuing strong supply
The near curve edged lower in the session while the far curve rose possibly on an earlier rally in the oil market a driving factor due to the continuation of oil indexation on some long-term deals
NYMEX natural gas futures began the new trading week in bearish fashion sliding by up to 4 on turbulent recent trading activity
The December rsquo14 front-month contract settled the day down by $016MMBtu at a four-session low of $426MMBtu Bearish senti-ment brought the front month down from the four-month highs reg-istered at the end of the previous week The fall broke the nine-session winning streak which had restored gas futures above the $400MMBtu mark from the 11-month low registered just 10 sessions ago
Early 2015 contracts also fell in line with the front month while contracts with expiry dates over the remainder of the year closed lower by an average of $007MMBtu The difference between the March and April 2015 contracts remained high at $044MMBtu despite the price fall
Near-term demand fundamentals remain strong with sub-freezing temperatures predicted across high-demand regions east of the Rock-ies However the fall registered over 10 November may show the market correcting itself in the face of record production levels and high gas in-tank storage levels

discounts that sellers are offering with car-goes for January delivery marked at between $1100-1150MMBtu
The number of cargoes available for deliv-ery in both December and January is around five for each month The seasonal demand has proven to be weak so far this year
However one trader said that it is difficult to speak of real seasonal buying without any buyers actually seeing the winter tempera-tures yet
ldquoMost buying in Japan is based on weath-er projections and historical data We havenrsquot really seen any winter temperatures yet so whatrsquos happening now is hardly indicative of the seasonal demandrdquo one Europe-based seller said
In the mid-term however most traders remained bearish saying that production from three projects in eastern Australia could cause oversupply if they start according to schedule
APLNG project in particular is said to be likely to introduce volumes on the spot mar-ket as production is due to start in mid-2015 while long-term contracts will not commence until 2016
ldquoAny additional length on this market could drive prices lower especially past win-ter The demand hasnrsquot been able to keep up with supply and thatrsquos currently reflected in the pricesrdquo a Singapore-based trader said
The same trader said that some sellers are now taking short positions for deliveries in 2015 as they expect prices to slide further
Tohoku to receive Total LNG cargoFrench oil and gas company Total sold a cargo to Japanese utility Tohoku Electric for late December delivery two traders said
The deal struck last week was done in the high $1100sMMBtu on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis said one trader in the Pacific and another in the Atlantic The shipment will arrive in Japan in late December one of the traders said
A Tohoku representative did not immedi-ately reply to requests to confirm the deal A Total representative was not immediately available for comment
Tohoku and other small Japanese utilities with limited storage tank space will need to procure LNG on a prompt basis to meet winter demand traders said
Larger buyers in the region such as To-kyo Electric (TEPCO) and Kansai Electric are
not expected to require LNG supply until late January
KOMIPO awards partial cargo tender South Korearsquos state-run utility Korea Midland Power Company (KOMIPO) awarded a cargo in a tender to an LNG trading company
KOMIPO closed the tender for a single partial cargo on 24 October scheduled to ar-rive in Gwangyang in second half December according to published tender details
KOMIPO declined to discuss the price of the cargo nor the trading company that would be supplying it Market sources said offers had been heard in the low $1300sMMBtu although this could not be immedi-ately confirmed
Yari LNG released from sea trials The newbuild 160000cbm Yari LNG has been released from the shipyard and is now heading south through the South China Sea
The vessel left the South Korean shipyard last week around 5 November and headed southwest toward the Indian Ocean
The tri-fuel diesel electric (TFDE) vessel is owned by Greek shipping company Cardiff Gas Its charter is understood to be still open
A shipping source said the delivery of the vessel was heard to have been delayed as much as possible but was finally released from the shipyard
Yari LNG was due to be delivered from South Korean shipbuilder DSME in 2014
Chugoku Electric has begun the restart of its 1GW Shin Onoda power plant this month after repairing a conveyer belt damaged in an August fire the company said
The blaze at the coal-fired plant forced Chugoku to enter the LNG spot market for fuel to power its other generators Chugoku based in Hiroshima supplies power to Japanrsquos south western region
Chugoku started one of Shin Onodarsquos 500MW coal-fired facilities on 8 November the company said in a press release It plans to restart the other generator around 20 No-vember the company added
Chugokursquos LNG procurement between April and September rose 22 compared to the same six-month period the year before to 138m tonnes the company said in its latest earnings report Its LNG consumption during
the same period rose 18 year over year the company said
Chugokursquos crude oil consumption fell 73 the utility said in its financial statement Japanrsquos utilities are reducing the amount of oil they use to power their generators meaning that any changes in electricity demand could have a greater direct influence on their LNG and coal purchasesBen Lefebvre

Japanrsquos Chubu to buy GDF SUEZ LNG on Asia spot price Paris-headquartered energy firm GDF SUEZ has signed a two-year contract with Japanese utility Chubu Electric for the sale of 12m tonnes of LNG Chubu announced on 6 November
GDF SUEZ will send the supply via 20 shipments of about 60000 tonnes each on a delivered ex-ship (DES) basis Chubu said at a press conference during the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
The LNG will come from multiple GDF SUEZ projects in Yemen Algeria Nigeria and Trinidad Chubu Electric fuels manager Hiroki Sato said
GDF SUEZ will start shipments in January 2015 Chubu said The contract will be partly
linked to an Asian spot LNG price index Chubu declined to specify which price index it used in the contract
Chubu is seeking to increase the propor-tion of its LNG contracts that include links to spot-price indexes Chubu president Akihisa Mizuno said during a presentation at the conference
The tone of the global market has stead-ily changed in recent months with more talk emerging of gas and hybrid price indexation and buyer consortia especially in Asia
Chubu has committed to a chunk of equity funding for the first US Freeport LNG train which could start producing in 2018 Ben Lefebvre
Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021Mexicorsquos state oil and gas company Pemex has set its sights on launching the countryrsquos first LNG exports early next decade through a liquefaction plant planned for the southwest coast
The company intends to begin LNG exports in 2021 from a liquefaction plant planned for Salinas Cruz in Oaxaca state presented in a proposal by Pemexrsquos head of natural gas Jorge De la Huerta at an event in Houston on 5 November
From there LNG volumes can be trans-ported to markets in northeast Asia and South America
The facilityrsquos Pacific coast location will give the project a competitive shipping dis-tance advantage when compared with LNG facilities currently under construction for the US Gulf coast De la Huerta said
LNG volumes could be delivered to con-sumers in Asia priced at $9-10MMBtu a source close to the project told ICIS
The Salinas Cruz project has a proposed 5mtpa capacity based on the construction
of either one of two liquefaction trains Total investment in the facility has been estimated at between $5bn-$7bn
Gas for the plant will be transported from currently producing assets on the east coast of Mexico through a newbuild 156-mile pipeline linking the countryrsquos two coastlines A 36-inch pipeline with capacity to transport up to 1 billion cubic feet (bcf)day will be constructed by Pemex in association with the private sector
Approximately 075bcfday in pipeline capacity will be destined for the LNG export project while 025bcfday will be sent to Pemexrsquos existing Salinas Cruz refinery and a co-generation power project proposed for the site
Natural gas imported through pipelines linking to the southern US will allow the gas to be diverted from Mexicorsquos east coast
ldquoWe have around 3 bcfday of natural gas being produced in the south east of the country When pipelines linking to the US are completed we will be able to ❯❯ Page 12

The persistent lack of higher winter demand profiles from LNG importers con-tributed to a major drop in spot prices this week with key December and January import markets falling to below $1200MMBtu
The results of an Australian sell tender brought greater price transparency to the falling market
Buying interest from the markets of Ja-pan South Korea and China are weak with the situation similar in South America amid reports of a vessel being diverted away from Argentina due to low demand
The ICIS East Asia Index (EAX) for Decem-ber fell to $11725MMBtu by 6 November a loss of $180MMBtu over the week and with Januaryrsquos premium fading to just $0113MMBtu Compared to this time last year the December price is down by $600MMBtu and is almost $200MMBtu below 2012
In both those years the EAX had risen to above $2000MMBtu for March delivery towards the end of the east Asian winter period Current supplydemand fundamen-tals indicate that a repeat of this trend looks unlikely
Pockets of demand emerged including Israel and Turkey but these do not represent major selling opportunities
Caught in the middle of the downturn were Spanish sellers with high domestic LNG stocks and falling margins
One factor potentially stemming the downturn was the limited regional availability of shipping
In the charter market the supply imbal-ance between Atlantic and Pacific basins underpinned the difference in geographical charter rate spreads with the former holding a clear premium in the short-term market
But the bearish LNG supply tone remained clear with much cheaper prices also heard on a free on board (FOB) basis especially from Trinidad A number of Qatari cargoes were heard to be on offer too
Amid the weakness the market awaits the start-up of Australian liquefaction in 2015 with BGrsquos QCLNG plant due to start produc-tion in December
In the background Brent crude prices continued to dip sitting more consistently below $8500bbl over the week The last three-month front-month average is now close to $95bbl down by almost $15bbl from the preceding three-month average
Looking further ahead Dominican Re-public power generator AES Dominicana was understood to have completed the purchase of four cargoes for delivery in 2015 following a recently-closed tender
Prices were pegged within a $1200-1400MMBtu range with one cargo to be delivered each quarter The company has pre-viously bought from majors BP and Shell

NWS volumes add pressure Australiarsquos NWS was understood to have been awarded a free on board (FOB) price this week for late November at $1050MMBtu and a delivered ex-ship (DES) cargo of $1150MMBtu for mid-to-late December
The lack of buying interest from end-users triggered the expectation that sellers or port-folio participants would most likely be the successful parties in the tender award Mar-ket sources said London-headed EDFT was a potential winner but this was not confirmed
The fall in near-month spot prices led some sellers to talk as far forward as March in terms of trying to set up deals Little was cur-rently achievable into Japan South Korea and China although in the last-named market private gas distributor ENN was heard to have secured a cargo for late December
With the exception of an upward price rally in September the tone of the market has predominantly been weak over the second half of the year and even before Steady pro-duction and adequate stocks have cut buyer motivation to enter the spot market
Bids that would previously have been ruled out are now closer to market value This includes interest from India where gas network operator GAIL was understood to be probing the spot market for December cargoes at prices between $1000-1100MMBtu
Falling FOB The step-change down in the market became gradually clearer over the course of the week with further feedback on falling FOB prices from Trinidad A cargo was heard to have been sold at below $1100MMBtu ndash and potentially much lower
While weaker Asian markets have taken the headlines demand is also muted from South America with Brazil considered the only likely spot buyer at present But even Petrobras has seen improved access to com-peting fuels amid lower crude oil prices rising domestic gas output and rising hydro-electricity output
Falling prices have hit achievable netback prices although the lack of demand makes most calculations currently irrelevant Accord-ing to ICIS assessments the more efficient tri-fuel diesel electric (TFDE) vessels could permit an FOB price in the mid- to upper-$1000sMMBtu from Qatar into east Asian markets for prompt loading
israel issues tender Turkey active Mediterranean buyers ndash often at the edge of events within the global market ndash came to the fore this week
State-run Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) was understood to have tendered a cargo for delivery for next February with a deadline of 18 November
The 151000 Expedient is the countryrsquos current floating storage and regasifica-
tion unit following the departure of the 138000cbm Excellence in September
IEC last received a cargo in August from BP aboard the 151000cbm British Diamond from Trinidad Israel requires lean gas rather than richer specifications from providers such as Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria
Price spreads between all LNG importing markets narrowed in the past week Most Euro-pean countries saw falling domestic hub prices despite rising seasonal temperatures and had no need to try and secure cargoes Turkey was to receive its second November cargo late in the month shipping data showed
State buyer BOTAS expects the arrival of the 155000cbm Arctic Aurora at Aliaga on 27 November following the berthing of the 140000cbm Arctic Voyager at Aliaga on 9 November ship data indicates Some sources suggest one of the cargoes could represent a back-to-back trade between Statoil and Gunvor with the Swiss trader then selling to BOTAS to backfill a short position
Qatargas is expected to provide a string of cargoes to Turkey this winter alongside BP
Turkey and Greece could benefit from the falling global market should the price trend continue
Spain is sinking High LNG stocks and falling delivered prices put Spanish sellers in an increasingly difficult position this week with FOB prices from the Mediterranean country sliding and likely to fall further
Latest system operator data from Enagas showed a line up of eight reloads provisionally booked from Spanish terminals in December including four from Huelva Debate continued over the value of in-tank LNG a key element behind the viability of reload prices
The terminal at Barcelona is still to receive two vessels this month and with no reloads booked until the end of the year it looks likely to approach near full capacity
Given falling DES prices in Asia and South America any fresh back-to-back prompt re-load spot trade would have to be concluded at much lower prices with end users unlikely to be in the market in the short term at least
Elsewhere in Europe the UKrsquos Grain LNG terminal performed a first cool-down op-eration as capacity holder Centrica delivered LNG into the 125000cbm Wilgas this week
Centrica is understood to have chartered the vessel in the $30000sday for a 65-day round-trip voyage The vessel is expected to pick up volumes from another European port before heading east through Suez
regional charter imbalance The regional supply imbalance between available prompt vessels in the Atlantic and Pacific is continuing to underpin geographical charter spreads
There is effectively zero availability in the Atlantic Basin until the second
The NWS FOB price for late November
was heard at $1050MMBtu

half of November shipbrokers said The 160000cbm Lobito is still open once it dis-charges its Bonny-sourced cargo in Brazil on behalf of Total in mid-November although prospective charter interest is understood to be firming The diesel electric vessel is thought to be valued in the low-$70000sday though this could not be confirmed One of two other similar vessels open in the Atlantic in Novem-ber is being offered in the $80000sday
The Lobitorsquos sister vessel the 160000cbm Soyo is understood to shortly start a 90-day charter with UK-based BG Group The transaction is thought to have occurred around mid-October and would allow for a November cargo lifting In the meantime the 160000cbm Cubal subchartered by RWE has lifted a Spanish reload
Mid-term charter talks to set markerWest African producer Nigeria LNG (NLNG) is said to have rejected prices in its one-year charter tender above the $63000day mark
Following the close of a week-long tender window for up to five diesel electric ships on 15 October numerous shipowners have been told that ideas in the mid-$65000day were too expensive ICIS understands
Shipowners are factoring in the perceived values from security of employment over a bearish 12-month outlook However ship-owners are also aware that NLNG would be in a position to pay more than a trader on a comparable time horizon
ldquoWith NLNG there will be no idle time so they donrsquot mind paying a premium With traders sometimes you want a lower rate to compensate for idle time between bidding for volumesrdquo one shipbroker said

GAIL enters final negotiations for US Sabine Pass FOB saleindian gas network operator GAIL is understood to have short-listed three com-panies for the sale of its 1mtpa US Sabine Pass LNG volumes which are being marketed on a free on board (FOB) basis for a five-year period
Multiple parties could gain tranches of the 1mtpa on offer with an award likely between the end of November and mid-December Germany-headquartered utility EON a trading house and an Asian company have all made it onto the shortlist ICIS un-derstands
Several participants including two Switzerland-based trading houses and Rus-siarsquos Gazprom were understood to have had advanced sales discussions with GAIL although Gazprom would not have made it to the final three
The value of the entire 1mtpa volumes for the five-year period is estimated at $25bn
The potential bid level from market par-ticipants for the Sabine Pass volumes was previously understood to be $100-150MMBtu above GAILrsquos contract price However the exact bid price could not be confirmed with GAIL
The remaining 25mtpa Sabine Pass LNG volumes will be sold to Indian companies for use in the domestic market an industry source said
GAIL secured 35mtpa of volumes through a 20-year long-term contract from US-based Chenierersquos plant in Louisiana
The Indian company agreed a purchase price of 115 of the US Henry Hub natural gas futuresrsquo price plus a $300MMBtu lique-faction fee on an FOB basis
The construction of the Sabine Pass plantrsquos train 4 is 50 completed and volumes from this are likely to start flowing in the first quar-ter of 2018 a market source said
Cheniere had estimated that the Sabine Pass plantrsquos trains 3 and 4 which are con-tracted to South Korearsquos KOGAS and GAIL respectively would come on line sometime between 2016 and 2017 Trains 1 and 2 are marketed to UK-based BG Group and Spainrsquos Gas Natural Fenosa
GAIL is still planning to set up an LNG trading desk in Singapore by 2017 before the Sabine Pass volumes start flowing
ldquoFOB volumes from US projects will be actively traded from Singaporerdquo a source close to the process said Ranjana Kaushal
Shellrsquos LNG Canada finalises electricity rate with BC Hydro Shellrsquos planned 12mtpa LNG Canada ex-port project in British Columbia has secured electricity rates with the province-run BC Hydro the province announced on 4 Novem-ber
This gives Shell a first-mover advantage in a province still determining how to provide adequate supply to the proposed export projects Royal Dutch Shell is the operator of the proposed Kitimat project along with Chinarsquos PetroChina South Korean gas com-pany KOGAS and Japanese trading company Mitsubishi
BC Hydro set the rate with the Shell-led consortium at (Canadian) $8302megawatt hour (MWh) before taxes
The rate for LNG customers will then increase by 2 each year until 2024 after which the rate will stay constant In compari-son the average rate for a non-LNG industrial user will be $5434MWh which will stay constant until a gradual ramp-up after the expansion costs are covered
BC Hydro forecast that 3000GWyear of electricity would be required for the proposed LNG projects although the utility has not ac-counted for a set number of projects given that none of the planned Western Canadian projects have reached final investment
The announcement by BC Hydro is anoth-er step forward for western Canadian project participants to determine costs
However BC Hydro would likely have to acquire new generation should another LNG project commit to a rate with the utility Min-ister of Mines and Energy Bill Bennett told members of the press on 4 November
Projects proposed in the Prince Rupert area would be even more pressed to secure
electricity from BC Hydro given that there would not be sufficient transmission in place
LNG projects could use internal gas-fired generation for electricity use or come up with an array of renewable energy other than hy-dro such as wind
Shellrsquos benefit in securing BC Hydro rates early on will likely cascade to the projectrsquos overall target to reduce emissions The prov-ince also recently established in late October strict carbon emission targets for the export project of 016 carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) tonnes per tonne of LNG produced Globally LNG facilities have emissions intensi-ties of 018CO2eLNG tonne and 027CO2eLNG tonne the province estimated
Local PNW stakeholders hold back Aside from securing electricity planning western Canadian export projects must still gain acceptance among the First Nations in the province in order to gain full right-of-way passage Some projects such as Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS and its Pacific NorthWest LNG venture have faced more difficult approvals from First Nations due to initial site designs and use of the marine channels near the site on Lelu Island
On 5 November a consortium of First Nations issued a statement condemning the proposed 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest LNG project citing concerns in potential damage to salmon habitats and being left out of the consultation process
The statement represented the Wetrsquosuwetrsquoen Gitanyow First Nation Lake Babine Nation and Gitxsan Nation

The marketing consortium for Chilersquos Quintero LNG import terminal has issued an open season call-of-interest round for companies seeking to take new capacity made available through a terminal expansion programme
GNL Chile the consortium which repre-sents the Quintero terminalrsquos existing three offtakers ndash power generator Endesa Chile Chilean state refiner ENAP and local gas dis-tributor Metrogas ndash announced the launch of the open season on 4 November
The company expects the process to last approximately a year with the aim of finalis-ing new offtake contracts by the end of 2015
Work is then expected to begin on the expansion project in 2016 enabling the start of new contracts in 2019 a source within Chile told ICIS
The installation of a new storage tank at the facility and a fourth vaporising unit is ex-pected to add 5 million cubic metres (mcm)day in additional capacity taking total send out capacity to 20mcmday (just over 5mtpa) by 2019 A total of 32mcmday in regasifica-tion capacity will be made available through the open season round
Companies based both in Chile and internationally will be able to make offers in the open season although Quinterorsquos current offtakers will not be able to participate said a source within Chile
Offers will be considered based on the commitment to take a minimum of 06mcmday Contract terms of 10 15 and 20 years will be considered through the open season round ICIS understands
An additional 18mcmday in capacity made available through the expansion stage has been reserved by GNL Chile and can be offered either to the existing offtakers or new entrants outside the open season process at a later date
Government supportThe 32mcmday offered through the open season represents the amount Chilersquos government promised to make available to new market entrants through its latest energy policy announced in May this year
Energy minister Maximo Pacheco an-nounced that the government would seek to extend the use of imported natural gas through the country enforcing open access
rights at the countryrsquos existing two terminals ndash Quintero and Mejillones in the north ndash as well as promoting the development of a third regasification facility in the south of the country
Managers at the Quintero terminal have also been focused on finalising the installa-tion of a new vaporising unit at the terminal which will expand capacity from 10mcmday to 15mcmday from early next year
Capacity will remain divided between the three current offtakers when the first expan-sion stage comes online
Power generators on Chilersquos SIC power grid such as Colbun and AES Gener are expected to lead domestic interest in the open season tender The companies currently purchase regasified LNG volumes from the terminalrsquos existing offtakers and in 2012 announced plans to build a second import terminal in the Quintero bay region
The parties awarded a contract for the provision of a floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) to Norwegian shipbuilder Hoegh in September 2012 however pro-gress on the project has since ground to a halt

Turkey could establish a thriving LNG-for-trucks business as the country is in the process of expanding its existing capacities and export volumes to neighbouring Greece and Bulgaria a source at the Turkish gas in-cumbent BOTAS told ICIS
Turkeyrsquos current capacity at the privately owned Aliaga LNG terminal is 50 trucksday and approximately 75 trucks at the BOTAS-operated Marmara LNG terminal Hizir Hakan Unal gas specialist at BOTAS said
However their combined capacities could increase to 200 trucksday with each truck able to carry almost 60 cubic metres of lique-fied natural gas
Unal who has recently published a report titled ldquoThird Party Access to Turkeyrsquos natural gas transmission system 2007-2013rdquo said Turkish gas companies were interested in this niche business not only for the domestic market but also for exports to Greece and Bulgaria
The two EU countries could be ideal mar-kets for Turkey given the existence of a num-ber of industries currently using heating oil propane or gasoil as feedstock that would benefit from switching to cheaper and more
environmentally friendly natural gas Industries that are isolated from natural
gas pipelines are increasingly turning to trucked LNG across all four corners of Europe
The wider trucking industry itself is emerging as a new source of demand with recent developments promoting LNG as a transportation fuel
The European Commission has proposed that by 2020 LNG refuelling stations for trucks are to be installed every 400km along roads of the Trans European Core Network Two such arteries run up to the border that Turkey shares with Greece and Bulgaria
In an interview with ICIS Michael Thomadakis a member of the board at the Greek regulator RAE said there was no legal obstacle to such a trade as far as Greece was concerned
He said RAE had been on the verge of granting a license to a company which had asked to import LNG in trucks from Turkey but the application was unsuccessful because the applicant could not prove its financial vi-ability

Keppel signs 1mtpa HoA with PetronasSingapore-based Keppel Gas a fully-owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings has signed a 10-year 1mtpa heads of agreement (HoA) purchase deal with Malaysiarsquos incumbent oil and gas producer Petronas the company said on 4 November
The agreement would supplement two existing pipeline gas deals under which Kep-pel purchases gas from Malaysia
It is contingent on Keppel Gas receiving an LNG import license and regulatory approv-al from Singaporersquos Energy Market Authority
The LNG supplies will be sourced from Petronasrsquo global portfolio
ldquoThis is another of many steps that Kep-pel has committed over the last decade and more to support our governmentrsquos efforts to improve the competitiveness of energy sup-plies to Singaporerdquo said Ong Tiong Guan the CEO of Keppel Infrastructure
Industry sources in Singapore said the deal is likely to be indexed to crude oil One source added that the price of LNG is likely to be above what Keppel Gas pays for pipeline deliveries from Malaysia
Keppel Infrastructure operates a 1300MW combined cycle gas fired power plant in Jurong Island in Singapore
The company signed a gas supply agree-ment with Petronas back in 2005 Under that agreement up to 115 million cubic feet (33 million cubic metres)day of natural gas are delivered to Singapore for a period of ap-proximately 18 years starting mid-2006
Additional gas sales from Petronas to Singapore could mean that Keppel expects to see additional domestic demand or has found downstream customers for the volumes The pipeline delivering gas from Malaysia is also connected with Indonesia This could poten-tially allow Keppel and Petronas to balance their LNG contract via pipeline gas
Keppel Gas has also a gas supply contract with US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil which started in 2009 Under this contract Keppel delivers gas to ExxonMobilrsquos petro-chemical complex in Jurong Island Roman Kazmin
Decision delays for Rosneftrsquos Pechora LNG plant in NenetsThe proposed 52 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Pechora LNG project in the Nenets autonomous district of Russia will not have a finalised commercial structure until the end of 2014 ICIS understands
The project is operated by independent Russian oil and gas holding Alltech which in May signed an agreement with Russiarsquos incumbent oil producer Rosneft to create a joint venture
The structure was supposed to be final-ised on 1 September 2014 according to a statement issued in May by Rosneft
Pechora LNG was not granted an LNG export license in a decision by the Russian government that came after the initial May announcement It could still export LNG on the basis of a license held by Rosneft How-ever Rosneft has gained a strong bargaining position with Alltech group on the back of the legislative decision
Rosneft has faced sanctions from the United States on the back of Russiarsquos involve-ment in the conflict in Ukraine
This has left the company with limited op-tions of raising finance It has turned to the Russian government for assistance request-ing a loan from the National Wealth Fund
The cost of Pechora LNG is estimated at $53bn-66bn
Rosneftrsquos limited capacity to raise finance on certain markets could have led the compa-ny to reconsider its priorities It is developing the Far East LNG project on Russiarsquos Sakhalin island together with the US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil
The capital-intensive project is further advanced than Pechora LNG as its resource base is already producing sufficient volumes of gas
ldquoPechora LNG is still in the very early stages The location of the project is also chal-lenging I think that Rosneft has other priori-ties particularly with recent softness on crude marketsrdquo an industry source in Russia said
Rosneft which relies primarily on profits driven by crude exports from Russia is facing a dramatically different economic environ-ment compared with May
Brent crude has fallen to below $85bbl compared to over $100bbl earlier this year
Coupled with ongoing sanctions Rosneft could choose to delay the project until the economics become more viable both in terms of crude-indexed LNG sales and the cost of financing Roman Kazmin

Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021
divert volumes to the south west for LNG ex-portsrdquo Pemex gas and petrochemical director Alejandro Martinez told ICIS
Pemexrsquos original plans focused on the use of floating LNG technology(see GLM 16 July 2014) However the company is now leaning towards the construction of an onshore facil-ity Martinez added
PartnersPemex is unlikely to be able to develop the project on its own sources close to the development told ICIS previously and is open to keeping only a minority stake in the venture Conversations over a future partnership have already been held with at least one existing global LNG supplier ICIS understands
Plans for a tolling mechanism for offtak-ers could be announced as early as next year according to De la Huerta Prices at which gas will be sold by Pemex will likely be regulated by Mexicorsquos energy regulatory commission CRE under regulations established through Mexicorsquos new energy reforms
Several other export projects have been proposed for Mexicorsquos Pacific coast US-based utility Sempra has spoken previously about its desire to convert its existing Costa Azul LNG terminal on the Baja California peninsula into a liquefaction facility with the aim of sending US-produced shale gas into northeast Asian markets
Sempra is currently conducting gas stud-ies to consider the size structure and eco-nomics of a potential export facility Semprarsquos chief executive officer Debra Reed said during the third-quarter 2014 earnings presentation on 4 November
The company has received strong interest from potential offtakers for Costa Azul Reed added although the impact on contracts with Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE must also still be considered The import contract ndash which ends in 2028 ndash brings in about $150m in cash flow a year Reed said
ldquoWe should have a better sense of these factors and potential timing in the first half of next yearrdquo Reed said James Fowler Ruth Liao
Hoegh EGAS sign 2015 time charter contractNorwegian-based ship owner Hoegh LNG said on Monday it had signed a five-year time charter contract with Egyptrsquos EGAS that will start by the end of the first quarter of 2015
The contract refers to the delivery of a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) vessel which would help deliver gas to Egyptrsquos chronically short domestic market
The newbuild 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Hoegh Gallant has been undertaking sea trials around South Korea over the last few months amid reports of ongoing delays to its potential employment as the planned Egyp-tian import terminal and uncertainty over contract details
The vessel was originally due to be deliv-ered into Egyptrsquos Ain Sokhna in August but this was later put back to December Hoegh
said it is considering how it could utilise the vessel as an LNG carrier before it is delivered to the Egyptian port
Hoegh said the FSRU contract is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA (earn-ings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) of $40m This would equate to a daily fee of around $110000 based on a 365-dayyear utilisation of the vessel However with additional operating costs estimated to be $20000day according to one ship analyst the total charter hire would be closer to $130000day
The media has been full of reports of ru-moured LNG supply deals into Egypt A story from the local press on 1 November cited a government official saying previous agree-ments with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Algeriarsquos Sonatrach were not binding Stories appear
almost daily from Egypt over the cuts in gas supply to the power grid and to industrial users
LNG exports from the countryrsquos two lique-faction plants have all but ceased due to the lack of available feedgas
Ongoing negotiations over how to develop further import infrastructure are focused on pipe links to the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan gas fields
Hoegh on 4 November also said it was awarded an FSRU contract by Colombian Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) for a new LNG import terminal in Cartagena on the Atlantic coast
The contract is subject to SPEC obtain-ing necessary environmental licenses for the project which is expected to start operations mid-2016 Hoegh said Edward Cox

Final investment was initially planned to be reached in late 2014 as the PETRONAS-led project has publicly placed pressure
on the BC provincial government to pass favourable terms on a separate LNG royalty tax
Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman is scheduled to meet with PETRONAS chief executive officer Tan Sri Datorsquo Shamsul Azhar Abbas for the next in a series of negotiations to enable the project to reach a final investment commitment Ruth Liao

Indian-Japanese joint buyers consider swapsA joint LNG purchasing agreement between Indiarsquos GAIL and Japanese utility Chubu Electric could include LNG swaps between the compa-nies GAIL managing director Bhuwan Chan-dra Tripathi said on 6 November The two firms are now in ldquoadvanced stages of discussionsrdquo regarding the memorandum of understanding they entered into in March 2014 Tripathi said during a panel discussion at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
A joint venture would allow them to ne-gotiate prices with LNG producers as a team and allow for swapping cargoes to better meet demand obligations Tripathi said
LNG buyers across Asia are exploring joint buying of gas as a way to possibly cut procurement costs Chubu Electric besides the GAIL alliance talks is also talking to Singapore-based Pavilion Energy
Although such a strategy might work for buyers in one market ndash such as the buying alliance Chubu and Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) announced last month ndash LNG alliances join-ing buyers in different countries with different domestic market conditions would have less chance for success said Jonathan Stern senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies ldquoI can understand the case for the Japanese but find it difficult to understand one for two end-users in two different marketsrdquo
Osaka Gas Japanrsquos second-largest natural gas utility said on 5 November it also is in talks to join the fuel buyersrsquo alliance TEPCO and Chubu Electric formed last month local media reported
Osaka Gas is the latest Japanese company to seek a joint venture to buy LNG in the world market It would add its demand to the alliance which would already be the worldrsquos largest Ben Lefebvre

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors
NGLs are separated at natural gas pro-cessing plants As a valuable feedstock for

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

National Grid revised its demand forecast for the working week upwards over the weekend with consumption slightly above seasonal norms compared with Friday forecasts that demand would remain 10 million cubic metre (mcm) below average this week
Forecaster WSI predicted temperatures between -1degC and +1degC of seasonal averages for the next seven days
The weekend saw the first flows from Centricarsquos Rough storage facility this winter period with the sites withdrawing at a rate of over 20mcmday on Saturday about a week later than in the previous year
However this may not yet materialise into strong outflows from the facility with the site not delivering gas into the system on Monday
The South Hook LNG terminal was delivering at 29mcmday at 1500 with a Qatari tanker docked at the facility over the weekend One tanker is due to arrive at the facility on Wednesday and another next Monday prompting expectation of continuing strong supply
The near curve edged lower in the session while the far curve rose possibly on an earlier rally in the oil market a driving factor due to the continuation of oil indexation on some long-term deals
NYMEX natural gas futures began the new trading week in bearish fashion sliding by up to 4 on turbulent recent trading activity
The December rsquo14 front-month contract settled the day down by $016MMBtu at a four-session low of $426MMBtu Bearish senti-ment brought the front month down from the four-month highs reg-istered at the end of the previous week The fall broke the nine-session winning streak which had restored gas futures above the $400MMBtu mark from the 11-month low registered just 10 sessions ago
Early 2015 contracts also fell in line with the front month while contracts with expiry dates over the remainder of the year closed lower by an average of $007MMBtu The difference between the March and April 2015 contracts remained high at $044MMBtu despite the price fall
Near-term demand fundamentals remain strong with sub-freezing temperatures predicted across high-demand regions east of the Rock-ies However the fall registered over 10 November may show the market correcting itself in the face of record production levels and high gas in-tank storage levels

discounts that sellers are offering with car-goes for January delivery marked at between $1100-1150MMBtu
The number of cargoes available for deliv-ery in both December and January is around five for each month The seasonal demand has proven to be weak so far this year
However one trader said that it is difficult to speak of real seasonal buying without any buyers actually seeing the winter tempera-tures yet
ldquoMost buying in Japan is based on weath-er projections and historical data We havenrsquot really seen any winter temperatures yet so whatrsquos happening now is hardly indicative of the seasonal demandrdquo one Europe-based seller said
In the mid-term however most traders remained bearish saying that production from three projects in eastern Australia could cause oversupply if they start according to schedule
APLNG project in particular is said to be likely to introduce volumes on the spot mar-ket as production is due to start in mid-2015 while long-term contracts will not commence until 2016
ldquoAny additional length on this market could drive prices lower especially past win-ter The demand hasnrsquot been able to keep up with supply and thatrsquos currently reflected in the pricesrdquo a Singapore-based trader said
The same trader said that some sellers are now taking short positions for deliveries in 2015 as they expect prices to slide further
Tohoku to receive Total LNG cargoFrench oil and gas company Total sold a cargo to Japanese utility Tohoku Electric for late December delivery two traders said
The deal struck last week was done in the high $1100sMMBtu on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis said one trader in the Pacific and another in the Atlantic The shipment will arrive in Japan in late December one of the traders said
A Tohoku representative did not immedi-ately reply to requests to confirm the deal A Total representative was not immediately available for comment
Tohoku and other small Japanese utilities with limited storage tank space will need to procure LNG on a prompt basis to meet winter demand traders said
Larger buyers in the region such as To-kyo Electric (TEPCO) and Kansai Electric are
not expected to require LNG supply until late January
KOMIPO awards partial cargo tender South Korearsquos state-run utility Korea Midland Power Company (KOMIPO) awarded a cargo in a tender to an LNG trading company
KOMIPO closed the tender for a single partial cargo on 24 October scheduled to ar-rive in Gwangyang in second half December according to published tender details
KOMIPO declined to discuss the price of the cargo nor the trading company that would be supplying it Market sources said offers had been heard in the low $1300sMMBtu although this could not be immedi-ately confirmed
Yari LNG released from sea trials The newbuild 160000cbm Yari LNG has been released from the shipyard and is now heading south through the South China Sea
The vessel left the South Korean shipyard last week around 5 November and headed southwest toward the Indian Ocean
The tri-fuel diesel electric (TFDE) vessel is owned by Greek shipping company Cardiff Gas Its charter is understood to be still open
A shipping source said the delivery of the vessel was heard to have been delayed as much as possible but was finally released from the shipyard
Yari LNG was due to be delivered from South Korean shipbuilder DSME in 2014
Chugoku Electric has begun the restart of its 1GW Shin Onoda power plant this month after repairing a conveyer belt damaged in an August fire the company said
The blaze at the coal-fired plant forced Chugoku to enter the LNG spot market for fuel to power its other generators Chugoku based in Hiroshima supplies power to Japanrsquos south western region
Chugoku started one of Shin Onodarsquos 500MW coal-fired facilities on 8 November the company said in a press release It plans to restart the other generator around 20 No-vember the company added
Chugokursquos LNG procurement between April and September rose 22 compared to the same six-month period the year before to 138m tonnes the company said in its latest earnings report Its LNG consumption during
the same period rose 18 year over year the company said

Japanrsquos Chubu to buy GDF SUEZ LNG on Asia spot price Paris-headquartered energy firm GDF SUEZ has signed a two-year contract with Japanese utility Chubu Electric for the sale of 12m tonnes of LNG Chubu announced on 6 November
GDF SUEZ will send the supply via 20 shipments of about 60000 tonnes each on a delivered ex-ship (DES) basis Chubu said at a press conference during the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
The LNG will come from multiple GDF SUEZ projects in Yemen Algeria Nigeria and Trinidad Chubu Electric fuels manager Hiroki Sato said
GDF SUEZ will start shipments in January 2015 Chubu said The contract will be partly
linked to an Asian spot LNG price index Chubu declined to specify which price index it used in the contract
Chubu is seeking to increase the propor-tion of its LNG contracts that include links to spot-price indexes Chubu president Akihisa Mizuno said during a presentation at the conference
The tone of the global market has stead-ily changed in recent months with more talk emerging of gas and hybrid price indexation and buyer consortia especially in Asia
Chubu has committed to a chunk of equity funding for the first US Freeport LNG train which could start producing in 2018 Ben Lefebvre
Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021Mexicorsquos state oil and gas company Pemex has set its sights on launching the countryrsquos first LNG exports early next decade through a liquefaction plant planned for the southwest coast
The company intends to begin LNG exports in 2021 from a liquefaction plant planned for Salinas Cruz in Oaxaca state presented in a proposal by Pemexrsquos head of natural gas Jorge De la Huerta at an event in Houston on 5 November
From there LNG volumes can be trans-ported to markets in northeast Asia and South America
The facilityrsquos Pacific coast location will give the project a competitive shipping dis-tance advantage when compared with LNG facilities currently under construction for the US Gulf coast De la Huerta said
LNG volumes could be delivered to con-sumers in Asia priced at $9-10MMBtu a source close to the project told ICIS
The Salinas Cruz project has a proposed 5mtpa capacity based on the construction
of either one of two liquefaction trains Total investment in the facility has been estimated at between $5bn-$7bn
Gas for the plant will be transported from currently producing assets on the east coast of Mexico through a newbuild 156-mile pipeline linking the countryrsquos two coastlines A 36-inch pipeline with capacity to transport up to 1 billion cubic feet (bcf)day will be constructed by Pemex in association with the private sector
Approximately 075bcfday in pipeline capacity will be destined for the LNG export project while 025bcfday will be sent to Pemexrsquos existing Salinas Cruz refinery and a co-generation power project proposed for the site
Natural gas imported through pipelines linking to the southern US will allow the gas to be diverted from Mexicorsquos east coast
ldquoWe have around 3 bcfday of natural gas being produced in the south east of the country When pipelines linking to the US are completed we will be able to ❯❯ Page 12

The persistent lack of higher winter demand profiles from LNG importers con-tributed to a major drop in spot prices this week with key December and January import markets falling to below $1200MMBtu
The results of an Australian sell tender brought greater price transparency to the falling market
Buying interest from the markets of Ja-pan South Korea and China are weak with the situation similar in South America amid reports of a vessel being diverted away from Argentina due to low demand
The ICIS East Asia Index (EAX) for Decem-ber fell to $11725MMBtu by 6 November a loss of $180MMBtu over the week and with Januaryrsquos premium fading to just $0113MMBtu Compared to this time last year the December price is down by $600MMBtu and is almost $200MMBtu below 2012
In both those years the EAX had risen to above $2000MMBtu for March delivery towards the end of the east Asian winter period Current supplydemand fundamen-tals indicate that a repeat of this trend looks unlikely
Pockets of demand emerged including Israel and Turkey but these do not represent major selling opportunities
Caught in the middle of the downturn were Spanish sellers with high domestic LNG stocks and falling margins
One factor potentially stemming the downturn was the limited regional availability of shipping
In the charter market the supply imbal-ance between Atlantic and Pacific basins underpinned the difference in geographical charter rate spreads with the former holding a clear premium in the short-term market
But the bearish LNG supply tone remained clear with much cheaper prices also heard on a free on board (FOB) basis especially from Trinidad A number of Qatari cargoes were heard to be on offer too
Amid the weakness the market awaits the start-up of Australian liquefaction in 2015 with BGrsquos QCLNG plant due to start produc-tion in December
In the background Brent crude prices continued to dip sitting more consistently below $8500bbl over the week The last three-month front-month average is now close to $95bbl down by almost $15bbl from the preceding three-month average
Looking further ahead Dominican Re-public power generator AES Dominicana was understood to have completed the purchase of four cargoes for delivery in 2015 following a recently-closed tender
Prices were pegged within a $1200-1400MMBtu range with one cargo to be delivered each quarter The company has pre-viously bought from majors BP and Shell

NWS volumes add pressure Australiarsquos NWS was understood to have been awarded a free on board (FOB) price this week for late November at $1050MMBtu and a delivered ex-ship (DES) cargo of $1150MMBtu for mid-to-late December
The lack of buying interest from end-users triggered the expectation that sellers or port-folio participants would most likely be the successful parties in the tender award Mar-ket sources said London-headed EDFT was a potential winner but this was not confirmed
The fall in near-month spot prices led some sellers to talk as far forward as March in terms of trying to set up deals Little was cur-rently achievable into Japan South Korea and China although in the last-named market private gas distributor ENN was heard to have secured a cargo for late December
With the exception of an upward price rally in September the tone of the market has predominantly been weak over the second half of the year and even before Steady pro-duction and adequate stocks have cut buyer motivation to enter the spot market
Bids that would previously have been ruled out are now closer to market value This includes interest from India where gas network operator GAIL was understood to be probing the spot market for December cargoes at prices between $1000-1100MMBtu
Falling FOB The step-change down in the market became gradually clearer over the course of the week with further feedback on falling FOB prices from Trinidad A cargo was heard to have been sold at below $1100MMBtu ndash and potentially much lower
While weaker Asian markets have taken the headlines demand is also muted from South America with Brazil considered the only likely spot buyer at present But even Petrobras has seen improved access to com-peting fuels amid lower crude oil prices rising domestic gas output and rising hydro-electricity output
Falling prices have hit achievable netback prices although the lack of demand makes most calculations currently irrelevant Accord-ing to ICIS assessments the more efficient tri-fuel diesel electric (TFDE) vessels could permit an FOB price in the mid- to upper-$1000sMMBtu from Qatar into east Asian markets for prompt loading
israel issues tender Turkey active Mediterranean buyers ndash often at the edge of events within the global market ndash came to the fore this week
State-run Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) was understood to have tendered a cargo for delivery for next February with a deadline of 18 November
The 151000 Expedient is the countryrsquos current floating storage and regasifica-
tion unit following the departure of the 138000cbm Excellence in September
IEC last received a cargo in August from BP aboard the 151000cbm British Diamond from Trinidad Israel requires lean gas rather than richer specifications from providers such as Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria
Price spreads between all LNG importing markets narrowed in the past week Most Euro-pean countries saw falling domestic hub prices despite rising seasonal temperatures and had no need to try and secure cargoes Turkey was to receive its second November cargo late in the month shipping data showed
State buyer BOTAS expects the arrival of the 155000cbm Arctic Aurora at Aliaga on 27 November following the berthing of the 140000cbm Arctic Voyager at Aliaga on 9 November ship data indicates Some sources suggest one of the cargoes could represent a back-to-back trade between Statoil and Gunvor with the Swiss trader then selling to BOTAS to backfill a short position
Qatargas is expected to provide a string of cargoes to Turkey this winter alongside BP
Turkey and Greece could benefit from the falling global market should the price trend continue
Spain is sinking High LNG stocks and falling delivered prices put Spanish sellers in an increasingly difficult position this week with FOB prices from the Mediterranean country sliding and likely to fall further
Latest system operator data from Enagas showed a line up of eight reloads provisionally booked from Spanish terminals in December including four from Huelva Debate continued over the value of in-tank LNG a key element behind the viability of reload prices
The terminal at Barcelona is still to receive two vessels this month and with no reloads booked until the end of the year it looks likely to approach near full capacity
Given falling DES prices in Asia and South America any fresh back-to-back prompt re-load spot trade would have to be concluded at much lower prices with end users unlikely to be in the market in the short term at least
Elsewhere in Europe the UKrsquos Grain LNG terminal performed a first cool-down op-eration as capacity holder Centrica delivered LNG into the 125000cbm Wilgas this week
Centrica is understood to have chartered the vessel in the $30000sday for a 65-day round-trip voyage The vessel is expected to pick up volumes from another European port before heading east through Suez
regional charter imbalance The regional supply imbalance between available prompt vessels in the Atlantic and Pacific is continuing to underpin geographical charter spreads
There is effectively zero availability in the Atlantic Basin until the second
The NWS FOB price for late November
was heard at $1050MMBtu

half of November shipbrokers said The 160000cbm Lobito is still open once it dis-charges its Bonny-sourced cargo in Brazil on behalf of Total in mid-November although prospective charter interest is understood to be firming The diesel electric vessel is thought to be valued in the low-$70000sday though this could not be confirmed One of two other similar vessels open in the Atlantic in Novem-ber is being offered in the $80000sday
The Lobitorsquos sister vessel the 160000cbm Soyo is understood to shortly start a 90-day charter with UK-based BG Group The transaction is thought to have occurred around mid-October and would allow for a November cargo lifting In the meantime the 160000cbm Cubal subchartered by RWE has lifted a Spanish reload
Mid-term charter talks to set markerWest African producer Nigeria LNG (NLNG) is said to have rejected prices in its one-year charter tender above the $63000day mark
Following the close of a week-long tender window for up to five diesel electric ships on 15 October numerous shipowners have been told that ideas in the mid-$65000day were too expensive ICIS understands
Shipowners are factoring in the perceived values from security of employment over a bearish 12-month outlook However ship-owners are also aware that NLNG would be in a position to pay more than a trader on a comparable time horizon
ldquoWith NLNG there will be no idle time so they donrsquot mind paying a premium With traders sometimes you want a lower rate to compensate for idle time between bidding for volumesrdquo one shipbroker said

GAIL enters final negotiations for US Sabine Pass FOB saleindian gas network operator GAIL is understood to have short-listed three com-panies for the sale of its 1mtpa US Sabine Pass LNG volumes which are being marketed on a free on board (FOB) basis for a five-year period
Multiple parties could gain tranches of the 1mtpa on offer with an award likely between the end of November and mid-December Germany-headquartered utility EON a trading house and an Asian company have all made it onto the shortlist ICIS un-derstands
Several participants including two Switzerland-based trading houses and Rus-siarsquos Gazprom were understood to have had advanced sales discussions with GAIL although Gazprom would not have made it to the final three
The value of the entire 1mtpa volumes for the five-year period is estimated at $25bn
The potential bid level from market par-ticipants for the Sabine Pass volumes was previously understood to be $100-150MMBtu above GAILrsquos contract price However the exact bid price could not be confirmed with GAIL
The remaining 25mtpa Sabine Pass LNG volumes will be sold to Indian companies for use in the domestic market an industry source said
GAIL secured 35mtpa of volumes through a 20-year long-term contract from US-based Chenierersquos plant in Louisiana
The Indian company agreed a purchase price of 115 of the US Henry Hub natural gas futuresrsquo price plus a $300MMBtu lique-faction fee on an FOB basis
The construction of the Sabine Pass plantrsquos train 4 is 50 completed and volumes from this are likely to start flowing in the first quar-ter of 2018 a market source said
Cheniere had estimated that the Sabine Pass plantrsquos trains 3 and 4 which are con-tracted to South Korearsquos KOGAS and GAIL respectively would come on line sometime between 2016 and 2017 Trains 1 and 2 are marketed to UK-based BG Group and Spainrsquos Gas Natural Fenosa
GAIL is still planning to set up an LNG trading desk in Singapore by 2017 before the Sabine Pass volumes start flowing
ldquoFOB volumes from US projects will be actively traded from Singaporerdquo a source close to the process said Ranjana Kaushal
Shellrsquos LNG Canada finalises electricity rate with BC Hydro Shellrsquos planned 12mtpa LNG Canada ex-port project in British Columbia has secured electricity rates with the province-run BC Hydro the province announced on 4 Novem-ber
This gives Shell a first-mover advantage in a province still determining how to provide adequate supply to the proposed export projects Royal Dutch Shell is the operator of the proposed Kitimat project along with Chinarsquos PetroChina South Korean gas com-pany KOGAS and Japanese trading company Mitsubishi
BC Hydro set the rate with the Shell-led consortium at (Canadian) $8302megawatt hour (MWh) before taxes
The rate for LNG customers will then increase by 2 each year until 2024 after which the rate will stay constant In compari-son the average rate for a non-LNG industrial user will be $5434MWh which will stay constant until a gradual ramp-up after the expansion costs are covered
BC Hydro forecast that 3000GWyear of electricity would be required for the proposed LNG projects although the utility has not ac-counted for a set number of projects given that none of the planned Western Canadian projects have reached final investment
The announcement by BC Hydro is anoth-er step forward for western Canadian project participants to determine costs
However BC Hydro would likely have to acquire new generation should another LNG project commit to a rate with the utility Min-ister of Mines and Energy Bill Bennett told members of the press on 4 November
Projects proposed in the Prince Rupert area would be even more pressed to secure
electricity from BC Hydro given that there would not be sufficient transmission in place
LNG projects could use internal gas-fired generation for electricity use or come up with an array of renewable energy other than hy-dro such as wind
Shellrsquos benefit in securing BC Hydro rates early on will likely cascade to the projectrsquos overall target to reduce emissions The prov-ince also recently established in late October strict carbon emission targets for the export project of 016 carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) tonnes per tonne of LNG produced Globally LNG facilities have emissions intensi-ties of 018CO2eLNG tonne and 027CO2eLNG tonne the province estimated
Local PNW stakeholders hold back Aside from securing electricity planning western Canadian export projects must still gain acceptance among the First Nations in the province in order to gain full right-of-way passage Some projects such as Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS and its Pacific NorthWest LNG venture have faced more difficult approvals from First Nations due to initial site designs and use of the marine channels near the site on Lelu Island
On 5 November a consortium of First Nations issued a statement condemning the proposed 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest LNG project citing concerns in potential damage to salmon habitats and being left out of the consultation process
The statement represented the Wetrsquosuwetrsquoen Gitanyow First Nation Lake Babine Nation and Gitxsan Nation

The marketing consortium for Chilersquos Quintero LNG import terminal has issued an open season call-of-interest round for companies seeking to take new capacity made available through a terminal expansion programme
GNL Chile the consortium which repre-sents the Quintero terminalrsquos existing three offtakers ndash power generator Endesa Chile Chilean state refiner ENAP and local gas dis-tributor Metrogas ndash announced the launch of the open season on 4 November
The company expects the process to last approximately a year with the aim of finalis-ing new offtake contracts by the end of 2015
Work is then expected to begin on the expansion project in 2016 enabling the start of new contracts in 2019 a source within Chile told ICIS
The installation of a new storage tank at the facility and a fourth vaporising unit is ex-pected to add 5 million cubic metres (mcm)day in additional capacity taking total send out capacity to 20mcmday (just over 5mtpa) by 2019 A total of 32mcmday in regasifica-tion capacity will be made available through the open season round
Companies based both in Chile and internationally will be able to make offers in the open season although Quinterorsquos current offtakers will not be able to participate said a source within Chile
Offers will be considered based on the commitment to take a minimum of 06mcmday Contract terms of 10 15 and 20 years will be considered through the open season round ICIS understands
An additional 18mcmday in capacity made available through the expansion stage has been reserved by GNL Chile and can be offered either to the existing offtakers or new entrants outside the open season process at a later date
Government supportThe 32mcmday offered through the open season represents the amount Chilersquos government promised to make available to new market entrants through its latest energy policy announced in May this year
Energy minister Maximo Pacheco an-nounced that the government would seek to extend the use of imported natural gas through the country enforcing open access
rights at the countryrsquos existing two terminals ndash Quintero and Mejillones in the north ndash as well as promoting the development of a third regasification facility in the south of the country
Managers at the Quintero terminal have also been focused on finalising the installa-tion of a new vaporising unit at the terminal which will expand capacity from 10mcmday to 15mcmday from early next year
Capacity will remain divided between the three current offtakers when the first expan-sion stage comes online
Power generators on Chilersquos SIC power grid such as Colbun and AES Gener are expected to lead domestic interest in the open season tender The companies currently purchase regasified LNG volumes from the terminalrsquos existing offtakers and in 2012 announced plans to build a second import terminal in the Quintero bay region
The parties awarded a contract for the provision of a floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) to Norwegian shipbuilder Hoegh in September 2012 however pro-gress on the project has since ground to a halt

Turkey could establish a thriving LNG-for-trucks business as the country is in the process of expanding its existing capacities and export volumes to neighbouring Greece and Bulgaria a source at the Turkish gas in-cumbent BOTAS told ICIS
Turkeyrsquos current capacity at the privately owned Aliaga LNG terminal is 50 trucksday and approximately 75 trucks at the BOTAS-operated Marmara LNG terminal Hizir Hakan Unal gas specialist at BOTAS said
However their combined capacities could increase to 200 trucksday with each truck able to carry almost 60 cubic metres of lique-fied natural gas
Unal who has recently published a report titled ldquoThird Party Access to Turkeyrsquos natural gas transmission system 2007-2013rdquo said Turkish gas companies were interested in this niche business not only for the domestic market but also for exports to Greece and Bulgaria
The two EU countries could be ideal mar-kets for Turkey given the existence of a num-ber of industries currently using heating oil propane or gasoil as feedstock that would benefit from switching to cheaper and more
environmentally friendly natural gas Industries that are isolated from natural
gas pipelines are increasingly turning to trucked LNG across all four corners of Europe
The wider trucking industry itself is emerging as a new source of demand with recent developments promoting LNG as a transportation fuel
The European Commission has proposed that by 2020 LNG refuelling stations for trucks are to be installed every 400km along roads of the Trans European Core Network Two such arteries run up to the border that Turkey shares with Greece and Bulgaria
In an interview with ICIS Michael Thomadakis a member of the board at the Greek regulator RAE said there was no legal obstacle to such a trade as far as Greece was concerned
He said RAE had been on the verge of granting a license to a company which had asked to import LNG in trucks from Turkey but the application was unsuccessful because the applicant could not prove its financial vi-ability
ldquoThere is no problem to import gas on trucks or otherwise from Turkey ❯❯ Page 13
Keppel signs 1mtpa HoA with PetronasSingapore-based Keppel Gas a fully-owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings has signed a 10-year 1mtpa heads of agreement (HoA) purchase deal with Malaysiarsquos incumbent oil and gas producer Petronas the company said on 4 November
The agreement would supplement two existing pipeline gas deals under which Kep-pel purchases gas from Malaysia
It is contingent on Keppel Gas receiving an LNG import license and regulatory approv-al from Singaporersquos Energy Market Authority
The LNG supplies will be sourced from Petronasrsquo global portfolio
ldquoThis is another of many steps that Kep-pel has committed over the last decade and more to support our governmentrsquos efforts to improve the competitiveness of energy sup-plies to Singaporerdquo said Ong Tiong Guan the CEO of Keppel Infrastructure
Industry sources in Singapore said the deal is likely to be indexed to crude oil One source added that the price of LNG is likely to be above what Keppel Gas pays for pipeline deliveries from Malaysia
Keppel Infrastructure operates a 1300MW combined cycle gas fired power plant in Jurong Island in Singapore
The company signed a gas supply agree-ment with Petronas back in 2005 Under that agreement up to 115 million cubic feet (33 million cubic metres)day of natural gas are delivered to Singapore for a period of ap-proximately 18 years starting mid-2006
Additional gas sales from Petronas to Singapore could mean that Keppel expects to see additional domestic demand or has found downstream customers for the volumes The pipeline delivering gas from Malaysia is also connected with Indonesia This could poten-tially allow Keppel and Petronas to balance their LNG contract via pipeline gas
Keppel Gas has also a gas supply contract with US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil which started in 2009 Under this contract Keppel delivers gas to ExxonMobilrsquos petro-chemical complex in Jurong Island Roman Kazmin
Decision delays for Rosneftrsquos Pechora LNG plant in NenetsThe proposed 52 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Pechora LNG project in the Nenets autonomous district of Russia will not have a finalised commercial structure until the end of 2014 ICIS understands
The project is operated by independent Russian oil and gas holding Alltech which in May signed an agreement with Russiarsquos incumbent oil producer Rosneft to create a joint venture
The structure was supposed to be final-ised on 1 September 2014 according to a statement issued in May by Rosneft
Pechora LNG was not granted an LNG export license in a decision by the Russian government that came after the initial May announcement It could still export LNG on the basis of a license held by Rosneft How-ever Rosneft has gained a strong bargaining position with Alltech group on the back of the legislative decision
Rosneft has faced sanctions from the United States on the back of Russiarsquos involve-ment in the conflict in Ukraine
This has left the company with limited op-tions of raising finance It has turned to the Russian government for assistance request-ing a loan from the National Wealth Fund
The cost of Pechora LNG is estimated at $53bn-66bn
Rosneftrsquos limited capacity to raise finance on certain markets could have led the compa-ny to reconsider its priorities It is developing the Far East LNG project on Russiarsquos Sakhalin island together with the US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil
The capital-intensive project is further advanced than Pechora LNG as its resource base is already producing sufficient volumes of gas
ldquoPechora LNG is still in the very early stages The location of the project is also chal-lenging I think that Rosneft has other priori-ties particularly with recent softness on crude marketsrdquo an industry source in Russia said
Rosneft which relies primarily on profits driven by crude exports from Russia is facing a dramatically different economic environ-ment compared with May
Brent crude has fallen to below $85bbl compared to over $100bbl earlier this year
Coupled with ongoing sanctions Rosneft could choose to delay the project until the economics become more viable both in terms of crude-indexed LNG sales and the cost of financing Roman Kazmin

Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021
divert volumes to the south west for LNG ex-portsrdquo Pemex gas and petrochemical director Alejandro Martinez told ICIS
Pemexrsquos original plans focused on the use of floating LNG technology(see GLM 16 July 2014) However the company is now leaning towards the construction of an onshore facil-ity Martinez added
PartnersPemex is unlikely to be able to develop the project on its own sources close to the development told ICIS previously and is open to keeping only a minority stake in the venture Conversations over a future partnership have already been held with at least one existing global LNG supplier ICIS understands
Plans for a tolling mechanism for offtak-ers could be announced as early as next year according to De la Huerta Prices at which gas will be sold by Pemex will likely be regulated by Mexicorsquos energy regulatory commission CRE under regulations established through Mexicorsquos new energy reforms
Several other export projects have been proposed for Mexicorsquos Pacific coast US-based utility Sempra has spoken previously about its desire to convert its existing Costa Azul LNG terminal on the Baja California peninsula into a liquefaction facility with the aim of sending US-produced shale gas into northeast Asian markets
Sempra is currently conducting gas stud-ies to consider the size structure and eco-nomics of a potential export facility Semprarsquos chief executive officer Debra Reed said during the third-quarter 2014 earnings presentation on 4 November
The company has received strong interest from potential offtakers for Costa Azul Reed added although the impact on contracts with Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE must also still be considered The import contract ndash which ends in 2028 ndash brings in about $150m in cash flow a year Reed said
ldquoWe should have a better sense of these factors and potential timing in the first half of next yearrdquo Reed said James Fowler Ruth Liao
Hoegh EGAS sign 2015 time charter contractNorwegian-based ship owner Hoegh LNG said on Monday it had signed a five-year time charter contract with Egyptrsquos EGAS that will start by the end of the first quarter of 2015
The contract refers to the delivery of a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) vessel which would help deliver gas to Egyptrsquos chronically short domestic market
The newbuild 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Hoegh Gallant has been undertaking sea trials around South Korea over the last few months amid reports of ongoing delays to its potential employment as the planned Egyp-tian import terminal and uncertainty over contract details
The vessel was originally due to be deliv-ered into Egyptrsquos Ain Sokhna in August but this was later put back to December Hoegh
said it is considering how it could utilise the vessel as an LNG carrier before it is delivered to the Egyptian port
Hoegh said the FSRU contract is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA (earn-ings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) of $40m This would equate to a daily fee of around $110000 based on a 365-dayyear utilisation of the vessel However with additional operating costs estimated to be $20000day according to one ship analyst the total charter hire would be closer to $130000day
The media has been full of reports of ru-moured LNG supply deals into Egypt A story from the local press on 1 November cited a government official saying previous agree-ments with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Algeriarsquos Sonatrach were not binding Stories appear
almost daily from Egypt over the cuts in gas supply to the power grid and to industrial users
LNG exports from the countryrsquos two lique-faction plants have all but ceased due to the lack of available feedgas
Ongoing negotiations over how to develop further import infrastructure are focused on pipe links to the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan gas fields
Hoegh on 4 November also said it was awarded an FSRU contract by Colombian Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) for a new LNG import terminal in Cartagena on the Atlantic coast
The contract is subject to SPEC obtain-ing necessary environmental licenses for the project which is expected to start operations mid-2016 Hoegh said Edward Cox

Final investment was initially planned to be reached in late 2014 as the PETRONAS-led project has publicly placed pressure
on the BC provincial government to pass favourable terms on a separate LNG royalty tax
Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman is scheduled to meet with PETRONAS chief executive officer Tan Sri Datorsquo Shamsul Azhar Abbas for the next in a series of negotiations to enable the project to reach a final investment commitment Ruth Liao

Indian-Japanese joint buyers consider swapsA joint LNG purchasing agreement between Indiarsquos GAIL and Japanese utility Chubu Electric could include LNG swaps between the compa-nies GAIL managing director Bhuwan Chan-dra Tripathi said on 6 November The two firms are now in ldquoadvanced stages of discussionsrdquo regarding the memorandum of understanding they entered into in March 2014 Tripathi said during a panel discussion at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
A joint venture would allow them to ne-gotiate prices with LNG producers as a team and allow for swapping cargoes to better meet demand obligations Tripathi said
LNG buyers across Asia are exploring joint buying of gas as a way to possibly cut procurement costs Chubu Electric besides the GAIL alliance talks is also talking to Singapore-based Pavilion Energy
Although such a strategy might work for buyers in one market ndash such as the buying alliance Chubu and Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) announced last month ndash LNG alliances join-ing buyers in different countries with different domestic market conditions would have less chance for success said Jonathan Stern senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies ldquoI can understand the case for the Japanese but find it difficult to understand one for two end-users in two different marketsrdquo
Osaka Gas Japanrsquos second-largest natural gas utility said on 5 November it also is in talks to join the fuel buyersrsquo alliance TEPCO and Chubu Electric formed last month local media reported
Osaka Gas is the latest Japanese company to seek a joint venture to buy LNG in the world market It would add its demand to the alliance which would already be the worldrsquos largest Ben Lefebvre

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors
NGLs are separated at natural gas pro-cessing plants As a valuable feedstock for

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

discounts that sellers are offering with car-goes for January delivery marked at between $1100-1150MMBtu
The number of cargoes available for deliv-ery in both December and January is around five for each month The seasonal demand has proven to be weak so far this year
However one trader said that it is difficult to speak of real seasonal buying without any buyers actually seeing the winter tempera-tures yet
ldquoMost buying in Japan is based on weath-er projections and historical data We havenrsquot really seen any winter temperatures yet so whatrsquos happening now is hardly indicative of the seasonal demandrdquo one Europe-based seller said
In the mid-term however most traders remained bearish saying that production from three projects in eastern Australia could cause oversupply if they start according to schedule
APLNG project in particular is said to be likely to introduce volumes on the spot mar-ket as production is due to start in mid-2015 while long-term contracts will not commence until 2016
ldquoAny additional length on this market could drive prices lower especially past win-ter The demand hasnrsquot been able to keep up with supply and thatrsquos currently reflected in the pricesrdquo a Singapore-based trader said
The same trader said that some sellers are now taking short positions for deliveries in 2015 as they expect prices to slide further
Tohoku to receive Total LNG cargoFrench oil and gas company Total sold a cargo to Japanese utility Tohoku Electric for late December delivery two traders said
The deal struck last week was done in the high $1100sMMBtu on a DES (delivered ex-ship) basis said one trader in the Pacific and another in the Atlantic The shipment will arrive in Japan in late December one of the traders said
A Tohoku representative did not immedi-ately reply to requests to confirm the deal A Total representative was not immediately available for comment
Tohoku and other small Japanese utilities with limited storage tank space will need to procure LNG on a prompt basis to meet winter demand traders said
Larger buyers in the region such as To-kyo Electric (TEPCO) and Kansai Electric are
not expected to require LNG supply until late January
KOMIPO awards partial cargo tender South Korearsquos state-run utility Korea Midland Power Company (KOMIPO) awarded a cargo in a tender to an LNG trading company
KOMIPO closed the tender for a single partial cargo on 24 October scheduled to ar-rive in Gwangyang in second half December according to published tender details
KOMIPO declined to discuss the price of the cargo nor the trading company that would be supplying it Market sources said offers had been heard in the low $1300sMMBtu although this could not be immedi-ately confirmed
Yari LNG released from sea trials The newbuild 160000cbm Yari LNG has been released from the shipyard and is now heading south through the South China Sea
The vessel left the South Korean shipyard last week around 5 November and headed southwest toward the Indian Ocean
The tri-fuel diesel electric (TFDE) vessel is owned by Greek shipping company Cardiff Gas Its charter is understood to be still open
A shipping source said the delivery of the vessel was heard to have been delayed as much as possible but was finally released from the shipyard
Yari LNG was due to be delivered from South Korean shipbuilder DSME in 2014
Chugoku Electric has begun the restart of its 1GW Shin Onoda power plant this month after repairing a conveyer belt damaged in an August fire the company said
The blaze at the coal-fired plant forced Chugoku to enter the LNG spot market for fuel to power its other generators Chugoku based in Hiroshima supplies power to Japanrsquos south western region
Chugoku started one of Shin Onodarsquos 500MW coal-fired facilities on 8 November the company said in a press release It plans to restart the other generator around 20 No-vember the company added
Chugokursquos LNG procurement between April and September rose 22 compared to the same six-month period the year before to 138m tonnes the company said in its latest earnings report Its LNG consumption during
the same period rose 18 year over year the company said
Chugokursquos crude oil consumption fell 73 the utility said in its financial statement Japanrsquos utilities are reducing the amount of oil they use to power their generators meaning that any changes in electricity demand could have a greater direct influence on their LNG and coal purchasesBen Lefebvre

Japanrsquos Chubu to buy GDF SUEZ LNG on Asia spot price Paris-headquartered energy firm GDF SUEZ has signed a two-year contract with Japanese utility Chubu Electric for the sale of 12m tonnes of LNG Chubu announced on 6 November
GDF SUEZ will send the supply via 20 shipments of about 60000 tonnes each on a delivered ex-ship (DES) basis Chubu said at a press conference during the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
The LNG will come from multiple GDF SUEZ projects in Yemen Algeria Nigeria and Trinidad Chubu Electric fuels manager Hiroki Sato said
GDF SUEZ will start shipments in January 2015 Chubu said The contract will be partly
linked to an Asian spot LNG price index Chubu declined to specify which price index it used in the contract
Chubu is seeking to increase the propor-tion of its LNG contracts that include links to spot-price indexes Chubu president Akihisa Mizuno said during a presentation at the conference
The tone of the global market has stead-ily changed in recent months with more talk emerging of gas and hybrid price indexation and buyer consortia especially in Asia
Chubu has committed to a chunk of equity funding for the first US Freeport LNG train which could start producing in 2018 Ben Lefebvre
Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021Mexicorsquos state oil and gas company Pemex has set its sights on launching the countryrsquos first LNG exports early next decade through a liquefaction plant planned for the southwest coast
The company intends to begin LNG exports in 2021 from a liquefaction plant planned for Salinas Cruz in Oaxaca state presented in a proposal by Pemexrsquos head of natural gas Jorge De la Huerta at an event in Houston on 5 November
From there LNG volumes can be trans-ported to markets in northeast Asia and South America
The facilityrsquos Pacific coast location will give the project a competitive shipping dis-tance advantage when compared with LNG facilities currently under construction for the US Gulf coast De la Huerta said
LNG volumes could be delivered to con-sumers in Asia priced at $9-10MMBtu a source close to the project told ICIS
The Salinas Cruz project has a proposed 5mtpa capacity based on the construction

The persistent lack of higher winter demand profiles from LNG importers con-tributed to a major drop in spot prices this week with key December and January import markets falling to below $1200MMBtu
The results of an Australian sell tender brought greater price transparency to the falling market
Buying interest from the markets of Ja-pan South Korea and China are weak with the situation similar in South America amid reports of a vessel being diverted away from Argentina due to low demand
The ICIS East Asia Index (EAX) for Decem-ber fell to $11725MMBtu by 6 November a loss of $180MMBtu over the week and with Januaryrsquos premium fading to just $0113MMBtu Compared to this time last year the December price is down by $600MMBtu and is almost $200MMBtu below 2012
In both those years the EAX had risen to above $2000MMBtu for March delivery towards the end of the east Asian winter period Current supplydemand fundamen-tals indicate that a repeat of this trend looks unlikely
Pockets of demand emerged including Israel and Turkey but these do not represent major selling opportunities
Caught in the middle of the downturn were Spanish sellers with high domestic LNG stocks and falling margins
One factor potentially stemming the downturn was the limited regional availability of shipping
In the charter market the supply imbal-ance between Atlantic and Pacific basins underpinned the difference in geographical charter rate spreads with the former holding a clear premium in the short-term market
But the bearish LNG supply tone remained clear with much cheaper prices also heard on a free on board (FOB) basis especially from Trinidad A number of Qatari cargoes were heard to be on offer too
Amid the weakness the market awaits the start-up of Australian liquefaction in 2015 with BGrsquos QCLNG plant due to start produc-tion in December
In the background Brent crude prices continued to dip sitting more consistently below $8500bbl over the week The last three-month front-month average is now close to $95bbl down by almost $15bbl from the preceding three-month average
Looking further ahead Dominican Re-public power generator AES Dominicana was understood to have completed the purchase of four cargoes for delivery in 2015 following a recently-closed tender
Prices were pegged within a $1200-1400MMBtu range with one cargo to be delivered each quarter The company has pre-viously bought from majors BP and Shell

NWS volumes add pressure Australiarsquos NWS was understood to have been awarded a free on board (FOB) price this week for late November at $1050MMBtu and a delivered ex-ship (DES) cargo of $1150MMBtu for mid-to-late December
The lack of buying interest from end-users triggered the expectation that sellers or port-folio participants would most likely be the successful parties in the tender award Mar-ket sources said London-headed EDFT was a potential winner but this was not confirmed
The fall in near-month spot prices led some sellers to talk as far forward as March in terms of trying to set up deals Little was cur-rently achievable into Japan South Korea and China although in the last-named market private gas distributor ENN was heard to have secured a cargo for late December
With the exception of an upward price rally in September the tone of the market has predominantly been weak over the second half of the year and even before Steady pro-duction and adequate stocks have cut buyer motivation to enter the spot market
Bids that would previously have been ruled out are now closer to market value This includes interest from India where gas network operator GAIL was understood to be probing the spot market for December cargoes at prices between $1000-1100MMBtu
Falling FOB The step-change down in the market became gradually clearer over the course of the week with further feedback on falling FOB prices from Trinidad A cargo was heard to have been sold at below $1100MMBtu ndash and potentially much lower
While weaker Asian markets have taken the headlines demand is also muted from South America with Brazil considered the only likely spot buyer at present But even Petrobras has seen improved access to com-peting fuels amid lower crude oil prices rising domestic gas output and rising hydro-electricity output
Falling prices have hit achievable netback prices although the lack of demand makes most calculations currently irrelevant Accord-ing to ICIS assessments the more efficient tri-fuel diesel electric (TFDE) vessels could permit an FOB price in the mid- to upper-$1000sMMBtu from Qatar into east Asian markets for prompt loading
israel issues tender Turkey active Mediterranean buyers ndash often at the edge of events within the global market ndash came to the fore this week
State-run Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) was understood to have tendered a cargo for delivery for next February with a deadline of 18 November
The 151000 Expedient is the countryrsquos current floating storage and regasifica-
tion unit following the departure of the 138000cbm Excellence in September
IEC last received a cargo in August from BP aboard the 151000cbm British Diamond from Trinidad Israel requires lean gas rather than richer specifications from providers such as Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria
Price spreads between all LNG importing markets narrowed in the past week Most Euro-pean countries saw falling domestic hub prices despite rising seasonal temperatures and had no need to try and secure cargoes Turkey was to receive its second November cargo late in the month shipping data showed
State buyer BOTAS expects the arrival of the 155000cbm Arctic Aurora at Aliaga on 27 November following the berthing of the 140000cbm Arctic Voyager at Aliaga on 9 November ship data indicates Some sources suggest one of the cargoes could represent a back-to-back trade between Statoil and Gunvor with the Swiss trader then selling to BOTAS to backfill a short position
Qatargas is expected to provide a string of cargoes to Turkey this winter alongside BP
Turkey and Greece could benefit from the falling global market should the price trend continue
Spain is sinking High LNG stocks and falling delivered prices put Spanish sellers in an increasingly difficult position this week with FOB prices from the Mediterranean country sliding and likely to fall further
Latest system operator data from Enagas showed a line up of eight reloads provisionally booked from Spanish terminals in December including four from Huelva Debate continued over the value of in-tank LNG a key element behind the viability of reload prices
The terminal at Barcelona is still to receive two vessels this month and with no reloads booked until the end of the year it looks likely to approach near full capacity
Given falling DES prices in Asia and South America any fresh back-to-back prompt re-load spot trade would have to be concluded at much lower prices with end users unlikely to be in the market in the short term at least
Elsewhere in Europe the UKrsquos Grain LNG terminal performed a first cool-down op-eration as capacity holder Centrica delivered LNG into the 125000cbm Wilgas this week
Centrica is understood to have chartered the vessel in the $30000sday for a 65-day round-trip voyage The vessel is expected to pick up volumes from another European port before heading east through Suez
regional charter imbalance The regional supply imbalance between available prompt vessels in the Atlantic and Pacific is continuing to underpin geographical charter spreads
There is effectively zero availability in the Atlantic Basin until the second
The NWS FOB price for late November
was heard at $1050MMBtu

half of November shipbrokers said The 160000cbm Lobito is still open once it dis-charges its Bonny-sourced cargo in Brazil on behalf of Total in mid-November although prospective charter interest is understood to be firming The diesel electric vessel is thought to be valued in the low-$70000sday though this could not be confirmed One of two other similar vessels open in the Atlantic in Novem-ber is being offered in the $80000sday
The Lobitorsquos sister vessel the 160000cbm Soyo is understood to shortly start a 90-day charter with UK-based BG Group The transaction is thought to have occurred around mid-October and would allow for a November cargo lifting In the meantime the 160000cbm Cubal subchartered by RWE has lifted a Spanish reload
Mid-term charter talks to set markerWest African producer Nigeria LNG (NLNG) is said to have rejected prices in its one-year charter tender above the $63000day mark
Following the close of a week-long tender window for up to five diesel electric ships on 15 October numerous shipowners have been told that ideas in the mid-$65000day were too expensive ICIS understands
Shipowners are factoring in the perceived values from security of employment over a bearish 12-month outlook However ship-owners are also aware that NLNG would be in a position to pay more than a trader on a comparable time horizon
ldquoWith NLNG there will be no idle time so they donrsquot mind paying a premium With traders sometimes you want a lower rate to compensate for idle time between bidding for volumesrdquo one shipbroker said

GAIL enters final negotiations for US Sabine Pass FOB saleindian gas network operator GAIL is understood to have short-listed three com-panies for the sale of its 1mtpa US Sabine Pass LNG volumes which are being marketed on a free on board (FOB) basis for a five-year period
Multiple parties could gain tranches of the 1mtpa on offer with an award likely between the end of November and mid-December Germany-headquartered utility EON a trading house and an Asian company have all made it onto the shortlist ICIS un-derstands
Several participants including two Switzerland-based trading houses and Rus-siarsquos Gazprom were understood to have had advanced sales discussions with GAIL although Gazprom would not have made it to the final three
The value of the entire 1mtpa volumes for the five-year period is estimated at $25bn
The potential bid level from market par-ticipants for the Sabine Pass volumes was previously understood to be $100-150MMBtu above GAILrsquos contract price However the exact bid price could not be confirmed with GAIL
The remaining 25mtpa Sabine Pass LNG volumes will be sold to Indian companies for use in the domestic market an industry source said
GAIL secured 35mtpa of volumes through a 20-year long-term contract from US-based Chenierersquos plant in Louisiana
The Indian company agreed a purchase price of 115 of the US Henry Hub natural gas futuresrsquo price plus a $300MMBtu lique-faction fee on an FOB basis
The construction of the Sabine Pass plantrsquos train 4 is 50 completed and volumes from this are likely to start flowing in the first quar-ter of 2018 a market source said
Cheniere had estimated that the Sabine Pass plantrsquos trains 3 and 4 which are con-tracted to South Korearsquos KOGAS and GAIL respectively would come on line sometime between 2016 and 2017 Trains 1 and 2 are marketed to UK-based BG Group and Spainrsquos Gas Natural Fenosa
GAIL is still planning to set up an LNG trading desk in Singapore by 2017 before the Sabine Pass volumes start flowing
ldquoFOB volumes from US projects will be actively traded from Singaporerdquo a source close to the process said Ranjana Kaushal
Shellrsquos LNG Canada finalises electricity rate with BC Hydro Shellrsquos planned 12mtpa LNG Canada ex-port project in British Columbia has secured electricity rates with the province-run BC Hydro the province announced on 4 Novem-ber
This gives Shell a first-mover advantage in a province still determining how to provide adequate supply to the proposed export projects Royal Dutch Shell is the operator of the proposed Kitimat project along with Chinarsquos PetroChina South Korean gas com-pany KOGAS and Japanese trading company Mitsubishi
BC Hydro set the rate with the Shell-led consortium at (Canadian) $8302megawatt hour (MWh) before taxes
The rate for LNG customers will then increase by 2 each year until 2024 after which the rate will stay constant In compari-son the average rate for a non-LNG industrial user will be $5434MWh which will stay constant until a gradual ramp-up after the expansion costs are covered
BC Hydro forecast that 3000GWyear of electricity would be required for the proposed LNG projects although the utility has not ac-counted for a set number of projects given that none of the planned Western Canadian projects have reached final investment
The announcement by BC Hydro is anoth-er step forward for western Canadian project participants to determine costs
However BC Hydro would likely have to acquire new generation should another LNG project commit to a rate with the utility Min-ister of Mines and Energy Bill Bennett told members of the press on 4 November
Projects proposed in the Prince Rupert area would be even more pressed to secure
electricity from BC Hydro given that there would not be sufficient transmission in place
LNG projects could use internal gas-fired generation for electricity use or come up with an array of renewable energy other than hy-dro such as wind
Shellrsquos benefit in securing BC Hydro rates early on will likely cascade to the projectrsquos overall target to reduce emissions The prov-ince also recently established in late October strict carbon emission targets for the export project of 016 carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) tonnes per tonne of LNG produced Globally LNG facilities have emissions intensi-ties of 018CO2eLNG tonne and 027CO2eLNG tonne the province estimated
Local PNW stakeholders hold back Aside from securing electricity planning western Canadian export projects must still gain acceptance among the First Nations in the province in order to gain full right-of-way passage Some projects such as Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS and its Pacific NorthWest LNG venture have faced more difficult approvals from First Nations due to initial site designs and use of the marine channels near the site on Lelu Island
On 5 November a consortium of First Nations issued a statement condemning the proposed 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest LNG project citing concerns in potential damage to salmon habitats and being left out of the consultation process
The statement represented the Wetrsquosuwetrsquoen Gitanyow First Nation Lake Babine Nation and Gitxsan Nation

The marketing consortium for Chilersquos Quintero LNG import terminal has issued an open season call-of-interest round for companies seeking to take new capacity made available through a terminal expansion programme
GNL Chile the consortium which repre-sents the Quintero terminalrsquos existing three offtakers ndash power generator Endesa Chile Chilean state refiner ENAP and local gas dis-tributor Metrogas ndash announced the launch of the open season on 4 November
The company expects the process to last approximately a year with the aim of finalis-ing new offtake contracts by the end of 2015
Work is then expected to begin on the expansion project in 2016 enabling the start of new contracts in 2019 a source within Chile told ICIS
The installation of a new storage tank at the facility and a fourth vaporising unit is ex-pected to add 5 million cubic metres (mcm)day in additional capacity taking total send out capacity to 20mcmday (just over 5mtpa) by 2019 A total of 32mcmday in regasifica-tion capacity will be made available through the open season round
Companies based both in Chile and internationally will be able to make offers in the open season although Quinterorsquos current offtakers will not be able to participate said a source within Chile
Offers will be considered based on the commitment to take a minimum of 06mcmday Contract terms of 10 15 and 20 years will be considered through the open season round ICIS understands
An additional 18mcmday in capacity made available through the expansion stage has been reserved by GNL Chile and can be offered either to the existing offtakers or new entrants outside the open season process at a later date
Government supportThe 32mcmday offered through the open season represents the amount Chilersquos government promised to make available to new market entrants through its latest energy policy announced in May this year
Energy minister Maximo Pacheco an-nounced that the government would seek to extend the use of imported natural gas through the country enforcing open access
rights at the countryrsquos existing two terminals ndash Quintero and Mejillones in the north ndash as well as promoting the development of a third regasification facility in the south of the country
Managers at the Quintero terminal have also been focused on finalising the installa-tion of a new vaporising unit at the terminal which will expand capacity from 10mcmday to 15mcmday from early next year
Capacity will remain divided between the three current offtakers when the first expan-sion stage comes online
Power generators on Chilersquos SIC power grid such as Colbun and AES Gener are expected to lead domestic interest in the open season tender The companies currently purchase regasified LNG volumes from the terminalrsquos existing offtakers and in 2012 announced plans to build a second import terminal in the Quintero bay region
The parties awarded a contract for the provision of a floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) to Norwegian shipbuilder Hoegh in September 2012 however pro-gress on the project has since ground to a halt

Turkey could establish a thriving LNG-for-trucks business as the country is in the process of expanding its existing capacities and export volumes to neighbouring Greece and Bulgaria a source at the Turkish gas in-cumbent BOTAS told ICIS
Turkeyrsquos current capacity at the privately owned Aliaga LNG terminal is 50 trucksday and approximately 75 trucks at the BOTAS-operated Marmara LNG terminal Hizir Hakan Unal gas specialist at BOTAS said
However their combined capacities could increase to 200 trucksday with each truck able to carry almost 60 cubic metres of lique-fied natural gas
Unal who has recently published a report titled ldquoThird Party Access to Turkeyrsquos natural gas transmission system 2007-2013rdquo said Turkish gas companies were interested in this niche business not only for the domestic market but also for exports to Greece and Bulgaria
The two EU countries could be ideal mar-kets for Turkey given the existence of a num-ber of industries currently using heating oil propane or gasoil as feedstock that would benefit from switching to cheaper and more
environmentally friendly natural gas Industries that are isolated from natural
gas pipelines are increasingly turning to trucked LNG across all four corners of Europe
The wider trucking industry itself is emerging as a new source of demand with recent developments promoting LNG as a transportation fuel
The European Commission has proposed that by 2020 LNG refuelling stations for trucks are to be installed every 400km along roads of the Trans European Core Network Two such arteries run up to the border that Turkey shares with Greece and Bulgaria
In an interview with ICIS Michael Thomadakis a member of the board at the Greek regulator RAE said there was no legal obstacle to such a trade as far as Greece was concerned
He said RAE had been on the verge of granting a license to a company which had asked to import LNG in trucks from Turkey but the application was unsuccessful because the applicant could not prove its financial vi-ability
ldquoThere is no problem to import gas on trucks or otherwise from Turkey ❯❯ Page 13
Keppel signs 1mtpa HoA with PetronasSingapore-based Keppel Gas a fully-owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings has signed a 10-year 1mtpa heads of agreement (HoA) purchase deal with Malaysiarsquos incumbent oil and gas producer Petronas the company said on 4 November
The agreement would supplement two existing pipeline gas deals under which Kep-pel purchases gas from Malaysia
It is contingent on Keppel Gas receiving an LNG import license and regulatory approv-al from Singaporersquos Energy Market Authority
The LNG supplies will be sourced from Petronasrsquo global portfolio
ldquoThis is another of many steps that Kep-pel has committed over the last decade and more to support our governmentrsquos efforts to improve the competitiveness of energy sup-plies to Singaporerdquo said Ong Tiong Guan the CEO of Keppel Infrastructure
Industry sources in Singapore said the deal is likely to be indexed to crude oil One source added that the price of LNG is likely to be above what Keppel Gas pays for pipeline deliveries from Malaysia
Keppel Infrastructure operates a 1300MW combined cycle gas fired power plant in Jurong Island in Singapore
The company signed a gas supply agree-ment with Petronas back in 2005 Under that agreement up to 115 million cubic feet (33 million cubic metres)day of natural gas are delivered to Singapore for a period of ap-proximately 18 years starting mid-2006
Additional gas sales from Petronas to Singapore could mean that Keppel expects to see additional domestic demand or has found downstream customers for the volumes The pipeline delivering gas from Malaysia is also connected with Indonesia This could poten-tially allow Keppel and Petronas to balance their LNG contract via pipeline gas
Keppel Gas has also a gas supply contract with US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil which started in 2009 Under this contract Keppel delivers gas to ExxonMobilrsquos petro-chemical complex in Jurong Island Roman Kazmin
Decision delays for Rosneftrsquos Pechora LNG plant in NenetsThe proposed 52 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Pechora LNG project in the Nenets autonomous district of Russia will not have a finalised commercial structure until the end of 2014 ICIS understands
The project is operated by independent Russian oil and gas holding Alltech which in May signed an agreement with Russiarsquos incumbent oil producer Rosneft to create a joint venture
The structure was supposed to be final-ised on 1 September 2014 according to a statement issued in May by Rosneft
Pechora LNG was not granted an LNG export license in a decision by the Russian government that came after the initial May announcement It could still export LNG on the basis of a license held by Rosneft How-ever Rosneft has gained a strong bargaining position with Alltech group on the back of the legislative decision
Rosneft has faced sanctions from the United States on the back of Russiarsquos involve-ment in the conflict in Ukraine
This has left the company with limited op-tions of raising finance It has turned to the Russian government for assistance request-ing a loan from the National Wealth Fund
The cost of Pechora LNG is estimated at $53bn-66bn
Rosneftrsquos limited capacity to raise finance on certain markets could have led the compa-ny to reconsider its priorities It is developing the Far East LNG project on Russiarsquos Sakhalin island together with the US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil
The capital-intensive project is further advanced than Pechora LNG as its resource base is already producing sufficient volumes of gas
ldquoPechora LNG is still in the very early stages The location of the project is also chal-lenging I think that Rosneft has other priori-ties particularly with recent softness on crude marketsrdquo an industry source in Russia said
Rosneft which relies primarily on profits driven by crude exports from Russia is facing a dramatically different economic environ-ment compared with May
Brent crude has fallen to below $85bbl compared to over $100bbl earlier this year
Coupled with ongoing sanctions Rosneft could choose to delay the project until the economics become more viable both in terms of crude-indexed LNG sales and the cost of financing Roman Kazmin

Colbun has instead focused on taking ca-pacity at the existing terminal firstly through negotiations with the current offtakers in 2013 and then through a possible capacity lending agreement with ENAP in 2014
Discussions between the parties for 045mtpa in capacity ground to halt in September with Colbun instead signing an agreement to buy 900mcm of natural gas from Metrogas between 2015 and 2019 (see GLM 4 September 2014) James Fowler

Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021
divert volumes to the south west for LNG ex-portsrdquo Pemex gas and petrochemical director Alejandro Martinez told ICIS
Pemexrsquos original plans focused on the use of floating LNG technology(see GLM 16 July 2014) However the company is now leaning towards the construction of an onshore facil-ity Martinez added
PartnersPemex is unlikely to be able to develop the project on its own sources close to the development told ICIS previously and is open to keeping only a minority stake in the venture Conversations over a future partnership have already been held with at least one existing global LNG supplier ICIS understands
Plans for a tolling mechanism for offtak-ers could be announced as early as next year according to De la Huerta Prices at which gas will be sold by Pemex will likely be regulated by Mexicorsquos energy regulatory commission CRE under regulations established through Mexicorsquos new energy reforms
Several other export projects have been proposed for Mexicorsquos Pacific coast US-based utility Sempra has spoken previously about its desire to convert its existing Costa Azul LNG terminal on the Baja California peninsula into a liquefaction facility with the aim of sending US-produced shale gas into northeast Asian markets
Sempra is currently conducting gas stud-ies to consider the size structure and eco-nomics of a potential export facility Semprarsquos chief executive officer Debra Reed said during the third-quarter 2014 earnings presentation on 4 November
The company has received strong interest from potential offtakers for Costa Azul Reed added although the impact on contracts with Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE must also still be considered The import contract ndash which ends in 2028 ndash brings in about $150m in cash flow a year Reed said
ldquoWe should have a better sense of these factors and potential timing in the first half of next yearrdquo Reed said James Fowler Ruth Liao
Hoegh EGAS sign 2015 time charter contractNorwegian-based ship owner Hoegh LNG said on Monday it had signed a five-year time charter contract with Egyptrsquos EGAS that will start by the end of the first quarter of 2015
The contract refers to the delivery of a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) vessel which would help deliver gas to Egyptrsquos chronically short domestic market
The newbuild 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Hoegh Gallant has been undertaking sea trials around South Korea over the last few months amid reports of ongoing delays to its potential employment as the planned Egyp-tian import terminal and uncertainty over contract details
The vessel was originally due to be deliv-ered into Egyptrsquos Ain Sokhna in August but this was later put back to December Hoegh
said it is considering how it could utilise the vessel as an LNG carrier before it is delivered to the Egyptian port
Hoegh said the FSRU contract is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA (earn-ings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) of $40m This would equate to a daily fee of around $110000 based on a 365-dayyear utilisation of the vessel However with additional operating costs estimated to be $20000day according to one ship analyst the total charter hire would be closer to $130000day
The media has been full of reports of ru-moured LNG supply deals into Egypt A story from the local press on 1 November cited a government official saying previous agree-ments with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Algeriarsquos Sonatrach were not binding Stories appear
almost daily from Egypt over the cuts in gas supply to the power grid and to industrial users
LNG exports from the countryrsquos two lique-faction plants have all but ceased due to the lack of available feedgas
Ongoing negotiations over how to develop further import infrastructure are focused on pipe links to the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan gas fields
Hoegh on 4 November also said it was awarded an FSRU contract by Colombian Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) for a new LNG import terminal in Cartagena on the Atlantic coast
The contract is subject to SPEC obtain-ing necessary environmental licenses for the project which is expected to start operations mid-2016 Hoegh said Edward Cox

Indian-Japanese joint buyers consider swapsA joint LNG purchasing agreement between Indiarsquos GAIL and Japanese utility Chubu Electric could include LNG swaps between the compa-nies GAIL managing director Bhuwan Chan-dra Tripathi said on 6 November The two firms are now in ldquoadvanced stages of discussionsrdquo regarding the memorandum of understanding they entered into in March 2014 Tripathi said during a panel discussion at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
A joint venture would allow them to ne-gotiate prices with LNG producers as a team and allow for swapping cargoes to better meet demand obligations Tripathi said
LNG buyers across Asia are exploring joint buying of gas as a way to possibly cut procurement costs Chubu Electric besides the GAIL alliance talks is also talking to Singapore-based Pavilion Energy
Although such a strategy might work for buyers in one market ndash such as the buying alliance Chubu and Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) announced last month ndash LNG alliances join-ing buyers in different countries with different domestic market conditions would have less chance for success said Jonathan Stern senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies ldquoI can understand the case for the Japanese but find it difficult to understand one for two end-users in two different marketsrdquo
Osaka Gas Japanrsquos second-largest natural gas utility said on 5 November it also is in talks to join the fuel buyersrsquo alliance TEPCO and Chubu Electric formed last month local media reported
Osaka Gas is the latest Japanese company to seek a joint venture to buy LNG in the world market It would add its demand to the alliance which would already be the worldrsquos largest Ben Lefebvre

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra

A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

Japanrsquos Chubu to buy GDF SUEZ LNG on Asia spot price Paris-headquartered energy firm GDF SUEZ has signed a two-year contract with Japanese utility Chubu Electric for the sale of 12m tonnes of LNG Chubu announced on 6 November
GDF SUEZ will send the supply via 20 shipments of about 60000 tonnes each on a delivered ex-ship (DES) basis Chubu said at a press conference during the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
The LNG will come from multiple GDF SUEZ projects in Yemen Algeria Nigeria and Trinidad Chubu Electric fuels manager Hiroki Sato said
GDF SUEZ will start shipments in January 2015 Chubu said The contract will be partly
linked to an Asian spot LNG price index Chubu declined to specify which price index it used in the contract
Chubu is seeking to increase the propor-tion of its LNG contracts that include links to spot-price indexes Chubu president Akihisa Mizuno said during a presentation at the conference
The tone of the global market has stead-ily changed in recent months with more talk emerging of gas and hybrid price indexation and buyer consortia especially in Asia
Chubu has committed to a chunk of equity funding for the first US Freeport LNG train which could start producing in 2018 Ben Lefebvre
Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021Mexicorsquos state oil and gas company Pemex has set its sights on launching the countryrsquos first LNG exports early next decade through a liquefaction plant planned for the southwest coast
The company intends to begin LNG exports in 2021 from a liquefaction plant planned for Salinas Cruz in Oaxaca state presented in a proposal by Pemexrsquos head of natural gas Jorge De la Huerta at an event in Houston on 5 November
From there LNG volumes can be trans-ported to markets in northeast Asia and South America
The facilityrsquos Pacific coast location will give the project a competitive shipping dis-tance advantage when compared with LNG facilities currently under construction for the US Gulf coast De la Huerta said
LNG volumes could be delivered to con-sumers in Asia priced at $9-10MMBtu a source close to the project told ICIS
The Salinas Cruz project has a proposed 5mtpa capacity based on the construction
of either one of two liquefaction trains Total investment in the facility has been estimated at between $5bn-$7bn
Gas for the plant will be transported from currently producing assets on the east coast of Mexico through a newbuild 156-mile pipeline linking the countryrsquos two coastlines A 36-inch pipeline with capacity to transport up to 1 billion cubic feet (bcf)day will be constructed by Pemex in association with the private sector
Approximately 075bcfday in pipeline capacity will be destined for the LNG export project while 025bcfday will be sent to Pemexrsquos existing Salinas Cruz refinery and a co-generation power project proposed for the site
Natural gas imported through pipelines linking to the southern US will allow the gas to be diverted from Mexicorsquos east coast
ldquoWe have around 3 bcfday of natural gas being produced in the south east of the country When pipelines linking to the US are completed we will be able to ❯❯ Page 12

The persistent lack of higher winter demand profiles from LNG importers con-tributed to a major drop in spot prices this week with key December and January import markets falling to below $1200MMBtu
The results of an Australian sell tender brought greater price transparency to the falling market
Buying interest from the markets of Ja-pan South Korea and China are weak with the situation similar in South America amid reports of a vessel being diverted away from Argentina due to low demand
The ICIS East Asia Index (EAX) for Decem-ber fell to $11725MMBtu by 6 November a loss of $180MMBtu over the week and with Januaryrsquos premium fading to just $0113MMBtu Compared to this time last year the December price is down by $600MMBtu and is almost $200MMBtu below 2012
In both those years the EAX had risen to above $2000MMBtu for March delivery towards the end of the east Asian winter period Current supplydemand fundamen-tals indicate that a repeat of this trend looks unlikely
Pockets of demand emerged including Israel and Turkey but these do not represent major selling opportunities
Caught in the middle of the downturn were Spanish sellers with high domestic LNG stocks and falling margins
One factor potentially stemming the downturn was the limited regional availability of shipping
In the charter market the supply imbal-ance between Atlantic and Pacific basins underpinned the difference in geographical charter rate spreads with the former holding a clear premium in the short-term market
But the bearish LNG supply tone remained clear with much cheaper prices also heard on a free on board (FOB) basis especially from Trinidad A number of Qatari cargoes were heard to be on offer too
Amid the weakness the market awaits the start-up of Australian liquefaction in 2015 with BGrsquos QCLNG plant due to start produc-tion in December
In the background Brent crude prices continued to dip sitting more consistently below $8500bbl over the week The last three-month front-month average is now close to $95bbl down by almost $15bbl from the preceding three-month average
Looking further ahead Dominican Re-public power generator AES Dominicana was understood to have completed the purchase of four cargoes for delivery in 2015 following a recently-closed tender
Prices were pegged within a $1200-1400MMBtu range with one cargo to be delivered each quarter The company has pre-viously bought from majors BP and Shell

NWS volumes add pressure Australiarsquos NWS was understood to have been awarded a free on board (FOB) price this week for late November at $1050MMBtu and a delivered ex-ship (DES) cargo of $1150MMBtu for mid-to-late December
The lack of buying interest from end-users triggered the expectation that sellers or port-folio participants would most likely be the successful parties in the tender award Mar-ket sources said London-headed EDFT was a potential winner but this was not confirmed
The fall in near-month spot prices led some sellers to talk as far forward as March in terms of trying to set up deals Little was cur-rently achievable into Japan South Korea and China although in the last-named market private gas distributor ENN was heard to have secured a cargo for late December
With the exception of an upward price rally in September the tone of the market has predominantly been weak over the second half of the year and even before Steady pro-duction and adequate stocks have cut buyer motivation to enter the spot market
Bids that would previously have been ruled out are now closer to market value This includes interest from India where gas network operator GAIL was understood to be probing the spot market for December cargoes at prices between $1000-1100MMBtu
Falling FOB The step-change down in the market became gradually clearer over the course of the week with further feedback on falling FOB prices from Trinidad A cargo was heard to have been sold at below $1100MMBtu ndash and potentially much lower
While weaker Asian markets have taken the headlines demand is also muted from South America with Brazil considered the only likely spot buyer at present But even Petrobras has seen improved access to com-peting fuels amid lower crude oil prices rising domestic gas output and rising hydro-electricity output
Falling prices have hit achievable netback prices although the lack of demand makes most calculations currently irrelevant Accord-ing to ICIS assessments the more efficient tri-fuel diesel electric (TFDE) vessels could permit an FOB price in the mid- to upper-$1000sMMBtu from Qatar into east Asian markets for prompt loading
israel issues tender Turkey active Mediterranean buyers ndash often at the edge of events within the global market ndash came to the fore this week
State-run Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) was understood to have tendered a cargo for delivery for next February with a deadline of 18 November
The 151000 Expedient is the countryrsquos current floating storage and regasifica-
tion unit following the departure of the 138000cbm Excellence in September
IEC last received a cargo in August from BP aboard the 151000cbm British Diamond from Trinidad Israel requires lean gas rather than richer specifications from providers such as Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria
Price spreads between all LNG importing markets narrowed in the past week Most Euro-pean countries saw falling domestic hub prices despite rising seasonal temperatures and had no need to try and secure cargoes Turkey was to receive its second November cargo late in the month shipping data showed
State buyer BOTAS expects the arrival of the 155000cbm Arctic Aurora at Aliaga on 27 November following the berthing of the 140000cbm Arctic Voyager at Aliaga on 9 November ship data indicates Some sources suggest one of the cargoes could represent a back-to-back trade between Statoil and Gunvor with the Swiss trader then selling to BOTAS to backfill a short position
Qatargas is expected to provide a string of cargoes to Turkey this winter alongside BP
Turkey and Greece could benefit from the falling global market should the price trend continue
Spain is sinking High LNG stocks and falling delivered prices put Spanish sellers in an increasingly difficult position this week with FOB prices from the Mediterranean country sliding and likely to fall further
Latest system operator data from Enagas showed a line up of eight reloads provisionally booked from Spanish terminals in December including four from Huelva Debate continued over the value of in-tank LNG a key element behind the viability of reload prices
The terminal at Barcelona is still to receive two vessels this month and with no reloads booked until the end of the year it looks likely to approach near full capacity
Given falling DES prices in Asia and South America any fresh back-to-back prompt re-load spot trade would have to be concluded at much lower prices with end users unlikely to be in the market in the short term at least
Elsewhere in Europe the UKrsquos Grain LNG terminal performed a first cool-down op-eration as capacity holder Centrica delivered LNG into the 125000cbm Wilgas this week
Centrica is understood to have chartered the vessel in the $30000sday for a 65-day round-trip voyage The vessel is expected to pick up volumes from another European port before heading east through Suez
regional charter imbalance The regional supply imbalance between available prompt vessels in the Atlantic and Pacific is continuing to underpin geographical charter spreads
There is effectively zero availability in the Atlantic Basin until the second
The NWS FOB price for late November
was heard at $1050MMBtu

half of November shipbrokers said The 160000cbm Lobito is still open once it dis-charges its Bonny-sourced cargo in Brazil on behalf of Total in mid-November although prospective charter interest is understood to be firming The diesel electric vessel is thought to be valued in the low-$70000sday though this could not be confirmed One of two other similar vessels open in the Atlantic in Novem-ber is being offered in the $80000sday
The Lobitorsquos sister vessel the 160000cbm Soyo is understood to shortly start a 90-day charter with UK-based BG Group The transaction is thought to have occurred around mid-October and would allow for a November cargo lifting In the meantime the 160000cbm Cubal subchartered by RWE has lifted a Spanish reload
Mid-term charter talks to set markerWest African producer Nigeria LNG (NLNG) is said to have rejected prices in its one-year charter tender above the $63000day mark
Following the close of a week-long tender window for up to five diesel electric ships on 15 October numerous shipowners have been told that ideas in the mid-$65000day were too expensive ICIS understands
Shipowners are factoring in the perceived values from security of employment over a bearish 12-month outlook However ship-owners are also aware that NLNG would be in a position to pay more than a trader on a comparable time horizon
ldquoWith NLNG there will be no idle time so they donrsquot mind paying a premium With traders sometimes you want a lower rate to compensate for idle time between bidding for volumesrdquo one shipbroker said

GAIL enters final negotiations for US Sabine Pass FOB saleindian gas network operator GAIL is understood to have short-listed three com-panies for the sale of its 1mtpa US Sabine Pass LNG volumes which are being marketed on a free on board (FOB) basis for a five-year period
Multiple parties could gain tranches of the 1mtpa on offer with an award likely between the end of November and mid-December Germany-headquartered utility EON a trading house and an Asian company have all made it onto the shortlist ICIS un-derstands
Several participants including two Switzerland-based trading houses and Rus-siarsquos Gazprom were understood to have had advanced sales discussions with GAIL although Gazprom would not have made it to the final three
The value of the entire 1mtpa volumes for the five-year period is estimated at $25bn
The potential bid level from market par-ticipants for the Sabine Pass volumes was previously understood to be $100-150MMBtu above GAILrsquos contract price However the exact bid price could not be confirmed with GAIL
The remaining 25mtpa Sabine Pass LNG volumes will be sold to Indian companies for use in the domestic market an industry source said
GAIL secured 35mtpa of volumes through a 20-year long-term contract from US-based Chenierersquos plant in Louisiana
The Indian company agreed a purchase price of 115 of the US Henry Hub natural gas futuresrsquo price plus a $300MMBtu lique-faction fee on an FOB basis
The construction of the Sabine Pass plantrsquos train 4 is 50 completed and volumes from this are likely to start flowing in the first quar-ter of 2018 a market source said
Cheniere had estimated that the Sabine Pass plantrsquos trains 3 and 4 which are con-tracted to South Korearsquos KOGAS and GAIL respectively would come on line sometime between 2016 and 2017 Trains 1 and 2 are marketed to UK-based BG Group and Spainrsquos Gas Natural Fenosa
GAIL is still planning to set up an LNG trading desk in Singapore by 2017 before the Sabine Pass volumes start flowing
ldquoFOB volumes from US projects will be actively traded from Singaporerdquo a source close to the process said Ranjana Kaushal
Shellrsquos LNG Canada finalises electricity rate with BC Hydro Shellrsquos planned 12mtpa LNG Canada ex-port project in British Columbia has secured electricity rates with the province-run BC Hydro the province announced on 4 Novem-ber
This gives Shell a first-mover advantage in a province still determining how to provide adequate supply to the proposed export projects Royal Dutch Shell is the operator of the proposed Kitimat project along with Chinarsquos PetroChina South Korean gas com-pany KOGAS and Japanese trading company Mitsubishi
BC Hydro set the rate with the Shell-led consortium at (Canadian) $8302megawatt hour (MWh) before taxes
The rate for LNG customers will then increase by 2 each year until 2024 after which the rate will stay constant In compari-son the average rate for a non-LNG industrial user will be $5434MWh which will stay constant until a gradual ramp-up after the expansion costs are covered
BC Hydro forecast that 3000GWyear of electricity would be required for the proposed LNG projects although the utility has not ac-counted for a set number of projects given that none of the planned Western Canadian projects have reached final investment
The announcement by BC Hydro is anoth-er step forward for western Canadian project participants to determine costs
However BC Hydro would likely have to acquire new generation should another LNG project commit to a rate with the utility Min-ister of Mines and Energy Bill Bennett told members of the press on 4 November
Projects proposed in the Prince Rupert area would be even more pressed to secure
electricity from BC Hydro given that there would not be sufficient transmission in place
LNG projects could use internal gas-fired generation for electricity use or come up with an array of renewable energy other than hy-dro such as wind
Shellrsquos benefit in securing BC Hydro rates early on will likely cascade to the projectrsquos overall target to reduce emissions The prov-ince also recently established in late October strict carbon emission targets for the export project of 016 carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) tonnes per tonne of LNG produced Globally LNG facilities have emissions intensi-ties of 018CO2eLNG tonne and 027CO2eLNG tonne the province estimated
Local PNW stakeholders hold back Aside from securing electricity planning western Canadian export projects must still gain acceptance among the First Nations in the province in order to gain full right-of-way passage Some projects such as Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS and its Pacific NorthWest LNG venture have faced more difficult approvals from First Nations due to initial site designs and use of the marine channels near the site on Lelu Island
On 5 November a consortium of First Nations issued a statement condemning the proposed 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest LNG project citing concerns in potential damage to salmon habitats and being left out of the consultation process
The statement represented the Wetrsquosuwetrsquoen Gitanyow First Nation Lake Babine Nation and Gitxsan Nation

The marketing consortium for Chilersquos Quintero LNG import terminal has issued an open season call-of-interest round for companies seeking to take new capacity made available through a terminal expansion programme
GNL Chile the consortium which repre-sents the Quintero terminalrsquos existing three offtakers ndash power generator Endesa Chile Chilean state refiner ENAP and local gas dis-tributor Metrogas ndash announced the launch of the open season on 4 November
The company expects the process to last approximately a year with the aim of finalis-ing new offtake contracts by the end of 2015
Work is then expected to begin on the expansion project in 2016 enabling the start of new contracts in 2019 a source within Chile told ICIS
The installation of a new storage tank at the facility and a fourth vaporising unit is ex-pected to add 5 million cubic metres (mcm)day in additional capacity taking total send out capacity to 20mcmday (just over 5mtpa) by 2019 A total of 32mcmday in regasifica-tion capacity will be made available through the open season round
Companies based both in Chile and internationally will be able to make offers in the open season although Quinterorsquos current offtakers will not be able to participate said a source within Chile
Offers will be considered based on the commitment to take a minimum of 06mcmday Contract terms of 10 15 and 20 years will be considered through the open season round ICIS understands
An additional 18mcmday in capacity made available through the expansion stage has been reserved by GNL Chile and can be offered either to the existing offtakers or new entrants outside the open season process at a later date
Government supportThe 32mcmday offered through the open season represents the amount Chilersquos government promised to make available to new market entrants through its latest energy policy announced in May this year
Energy minister Maximo Pacheco an-nounced that the government would seek to extend the use of imported natural gas through the country enforcing open access
rights at the countryrsquos existing two terminals ndash Quintero and Mejillones in the north ndash as well as promoting the development of a third regasification facility in the south of the country
Managers at the Quintero terminal have also been focused on finalising the installa-tion of a new vaporising unit at the terminal which will expand capacity from 10mcmday to 15mcmday from early next year
Capacity will remain divided between the three current offtakers when the first expan-sion stage comes online
Power generators on Chilersquos SIC power grid such as Colbun and AES Gener are expected to lead domestic interest in the open season tender The companies currently purchase regasified LNG volumes from the terminalrsquos existing offtakers and in 2012 announced plans to build a second import terminal in the Quintero bay region
The parties awarded a contract for the provision of a floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) to Norwegian shipbuilder Hoegh in September 2012 however pro-gress on the project has since ground to a halt

Turkey could establish a thriving LNG-for-trucks business as the country is in the process of expanding its existing capacities and export volumes to neighbouring Greece and Bulgaria a source at the Turkish gas in-cumbent BOTAS told ICIS
Turkeyrsquos current capacity at the privately owned Aliaga LNG terminal is 50 trucksday and approximately 75 trucks at the BOTAS-operated Marmara LNG terminal Hizir Hakan Unal gas specialist at BOTAS said
However their combined capacities could increase to 200 trucksday with each truck able to carry almost 60 cubic metres of lique-fied natural gas
Unal who has recently published a report titled ldquoThird Party Access to Turkeyrsquos natural gas transmission system 2007-2013rdquo said Turkish gas companies were interested in this niche business not only for the domestic market but also for exports to Greece and Bulgaria
The two EU countries could be ideal mar-kets for Turkey given the existence of a num-ber of industries currently using heating oil propane or gasoil as feedstock that would benefit from switching to cheaper and more
environmentally friendly natural gas Industries that are isolated from natural
gas pipelines are increasingly turning to trucked LNG across all four corners of Europe
The wider trucking industry itself is emerging as a new source of demand with recent developments promoting LNG as a transportation fuel
The European Commission has proposed that by 2020 LNG refuelling stations for trucks are to be installed every 400km along roads of the Trans European Core Network Two such arteries run up to the border that Turkey shares with Greece and Bulgaria
In an interview with ICIS Michael Thomadakis a member of the board at the Greek regulator RAE said there was no legal obstacle to such a trade as far as Greece was concerned
He said RAE had been on the verge of granting a license to a company which had asked to import LNG in trucks from Turkey but the application was unsuccessful because the applicant could not prove its financial vi-ability
ldquoThere is no problem to import gas on trucks or otherwise from Turkey ❯❯ Page 13
Keppel signs 1mtpa HoA with PetronasSingapore-based Keppel Gas a fully-owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings has signed a 10-year 1mtpa heads of agreement (HoA) purchase deal with Malaysiarsquos incumbent oil and gas producer Petronas the company said on 4 November
The agreement would supplement two existing pipeline gas deals under which Kep-pel purchases gas from Malaysia
It is contingent on Keppel Gas receiving an LNG import license and regulatory approv-al from Singaporersquos Energy Market Authority
The LNG supplies will be sourced from Petronasrsquo global portfolio
ldquoThis is another of many steps that Kep-pel has committed over the last decade and more to support our governmentrsquos efforts to improve the competitiveness of energy sup-plies to Singaporerdquo said Ong Tiong Guan the CEO of Keppel Infrastructure
Industry sources in Singapore said the deal is likely to be indexed to crude oil One source added that the price of LNG is likely to be above what Keppel Gas pays for pipeline deliveries from Malaysia
Keppel Infrastructure operates a 1300MW combined cycle gas fired power plant in Jurong Island in Singapore
The company signed a gas supply agree-ment with Petronas back in 2005 Under that agreement up to 115 million cubic feet (33 million cubic metres)day of natural gas are delivered to Singapore for a period of ap-proximately 18 years starting mid-2006
Additional gas sales from Petronas to Singapore could mean that Keppel expects to see additional domestic demand or has found downstream customers for the volumes The pipeline delivering gas from Malaysia is also connected with Indonesia This could poten-tially allow Keppel and Petronas to balance their LNG contract via pipeline gas
Keppel Gas has also a gas supply contract with US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil which started in 2009 Under this contract Keppel delivers gas to ExxonMobilrsquos petro-chemical complex in Jurong Island Roman Kazmin
Decision delays for Rosneftrsquos Pechora LNG plant in NenetsThe proposed 52 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Pechora LNG project in the Nenets autonomous district of Russia will not have a finalised commercial structure until the end of 2014 ICIS understands
The project is operated by independent Russian oil and gas holding Alltech which in May signed an agreement with Russiarsquos incumbent oil producer Rosneft to create a joint venture
The structure was supposed to be final-ised on 1 September 2014 according to a statement issued in May by Rosneft
Pechora LNG was not granted an LNG export license in a decision by the Russian government that came after the initial May announcement It could still export LNG on the basis of a license held by Rosneft How-ever Rosneft has gained a strong bargaining position with Alltech group on the back of the legislative decision
Rosneft has faced sanctions from the United States on the back of Russiarsquos involve-ment in the conflict in Ukraine
This has left the company with limited op-tions of raising finance It has turned to the Russian government for assistance request-ing a loan from the National Wealth Fund
The cost of Pechora LNG is estimated at $53bn-66bn
Rosneftrsquos limited capacity to raise finance on certain markets could have led the compa-ny to reconsider its priorities It is developing the Far East LNG project on Russiarsquos Sakhalin island together with the US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil
The capital-intensive project is further advanced than Pechora LNG as its resource base is already producing sufficient volumes of gas
ldquoPechora LNG is still in the very early stages The location of the project is also chal-lenging I think that Rosneft has other priori-ties particularly with recent softness on crude marketsrdquo an industry source in Russia said
Rosneft which relies primarily on profits driven by crude exports from Russia is facing a dramatically different economic environ-ment compared with May
Brent crude has fallen to below $85bbl compared to over $100bbl earlier this year
Coupled with ongoing sanctions Rosneft could choose to delay the project until the economics become more viable both in terms of crude-indexed LNG sales and the cost of financing Roman Kazmin

Colbun has instead focused on taking ca-pacity at the existing terminal firstly through negotiations with the current offtakers in 2013 and then through a possible capacity lending agreement with ENAP in 2014

Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021
divert volumes to the south west for LNG ex-portsrdquo Pemex gas and petrochemical director Alejandro Martinez told ICIS
Pemexrsquos original plans focused on the use of floating LNG technology(see GLM 16 July 2014) However the company is now leaning towards the construction of an onshore facil-ity Martinez added
PartnersPemex is unlikely to be able to develop the project on its own sources close to the development told ICIS previously and is open to keeping only a minority stake in the venture Conversations over a future partnership have already been held with at least one existing global LNG supplier ICIS understands
Plans for a tolling mechanism for offtak-ers could be announced as early as next year according to De la Huerta Prices at which gas will be sold by Pemex will likely be regulated by Mexicorsquos energy regulatory commission CRE under regulations established through Mexicorsquos new energy reforms
Several other export projects have been proposed for Mexicorsquos Pacific coast US-based utility Sempra has spoken previously about its desire to convert its existing Costa Azul LNG terminal on the Baja California peninsula into a liquefaction facility with the aim of sending US-produced shale gas into northeast Asian markets
Sempra is currently conducting gas stud-ies to consider the size structure and eco-nomics of a potential export facility Semprarsquos chief executive officer Debra Reed said during the third-quarter 2014 earnings presentation on 4 November
The company has received strong interest from potential offtakers for Costa Azul Reed added although the impact on contracts with Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE must also still be considered The import contract ndash which ends in 2028 ndash brings in about $150m in cash flow a year Reed said
ldquoWe should have a better sense of these factors and potential timing in the first half of next yearrdquo Reed said James Fowler Ruth Liao
Hoegh EGAS sign 2015 time charter contractNorwegian-based ship owner Hoegh LNG said on Monday it had signed a five-year time charter contract with Egyptrsquos EGAS that will start by the end of the first quarter of 2015
The contract refers to the delivery of a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) vessel which would help deliver gas to Egyptrsquos chronically short domestic market
The newbuild 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Hoegh Gallant has been undertaking sea trials around South Korea over the last few months amid reports of ongoing delays to its potential employment as the planned Egyp-tian import terminal and uncertainty over contract details
The vessel was originally due to be deliv-ered into Egyptrsquos Ain Sokhna in August but this was later put back to December Hoegh
said it is considering how it could utilise the vessel as an LNG carrier before it is delivered to the Egyptian port
Hoegh said the FSRU contract is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA (earn-ings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) of $40m This would equate to a daily fee of around $110000 based on a 365-dayyear utilisation of the vessel However with additional operating costs estimated to be $20000day according to one ship analyst the total charter hire would be closer to $130000day
The media has been full of reports of ru-moured LNG supply deals into Egypt A story from the local press on 1 November cited a government official saying previous agree-ments with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Algeriarsquos Sonatrach were not binding Stories appear
almost daily from Egypt over the cuts in gas supply to the power grid and to industrial users
LNG exports from the countryrsquos two lique-faction plants have all but ceased due to the lack of available feedgas
Ongoing negotiations over how to develop further import infrastructure are focused on pipe links to the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan gas fields
Hoegh on 4 November also said it was awarded an FSRU contract by Colombian Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) for a new LNG import terminal in Cartagena on the Atlantic coast
The contract is subject to SPEC obtain-ing necessary environmental licenses for the project which is expected to start operations mid-2016 Hoegh said Edward Cox

Final investment was initially planned to be reached in late 2014 as the PETRONAS-led project has publicly placed pressure
on the BC provincial government to pass favourable terms on a separate LNG royalty tax
Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman is scheduled to meet with PETRONAS chief executive officer Tan Sri Datorsquo Shamsul Azhar Abbas for the next in a series of negotiations to enable the project to reach a final investment commitment Ruth Liao

Indian-Japanese joint buyers consider swapsA joint LNG purchasing agreement between Indiarsquos GAIL and Japanese utility Chubu Electric could include LNG swaps between the compa-nies GAIL managing director Bhuwan Chan-dra Tripathi said on 6 November The two firms are now in ldquoadvanced stages of discussionsrdquo regarding the memorandum of understanding they entered into in March 2014 Tripathi said during a panel discussion at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
A joint venture would allow them to ne-gotiate prices with LNG producers as a team and allow for swapping cargoes to better meet demand obligations Tripathi said
LNG buyers across Asia are exploring joint buying of gas as a way to possibly cut procurement costs Chubu Electric besides the GAIL alliance talks is also talking to Singapore-based Pavilion Energy
Although such a strategy might work for buyers in one market ndash such as the buying alliance Chubu and Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) announced last month ndash LNG alliances join-ing buyers in different countries with different domestic market conditions would have less chance for success said Jonathan Stern senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies ldquoI can understand the case for the Japanese but find it difficult to understand one for two end-users in two different marketsrdquo
Osaka Gas Japanrsquos second-largest natural gas utility said on 5 November it also is in talks to join the fuel buyersrsquo alliance TEPCO and Chubu Electric formed last month local media reported
Osaka Gas is the latest Japanese company to seek a joint venture to buy LNG in the world market It would add its demand to the alliance which would already be the worldrsquos largest Ben Lefebvre

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors
NGLs are separated at natural gas pro-cessing plants As a valuable feedstock for

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

The persistent lack of higher winter demand profiles from LNG importers con-tributed to a major drop in spot prices this week with key December and January import markets falling to below $1200MMBtu
The results of an Australian sell tender brought greater price transparency to the falling market
Buying interest from the markets of Ja-pan South Korea and China are weak with the situation similar in South America amid reports of a vessel being diverted away from Argentina due to low demand
The ICIS East Asia Index (EAX) for Decem-ber fell to $11725MMBtu by 6 November a loss of $180MMBtu over the week and with Januaryrsquos premium fading to just $0113MMBtu Compared to this time last year the December price is down by $600MMBtu and is almost $200MMBtu below 2012
In both those years the EAX had risen to above $2000MMBtu for March delivery towards the end of the east Asian winter period Current supplydemand fundamen-tals indicate that a repeat of this trend looks unlikely
Pockets of demand emerged including Israel and Turkey but these do not represent major selling opportunities
Caught in the middle of the downturn were Spanish sellers with high domestic LNG stocks and falling margins
One factor potentially stemming the downturn was the limited regional availability of shipping
In the charter market the supply imbal-ance between Atlantic and Pacific basins underpinned the difference in geographical charter rate spreads with the former holding a clear premium in the short-term market
But the bearish LNG supply tone remained clear with much cheaper prices also heard on a free on board (FOB) basis especially from Trinidad A number of Qatari cargoes were heard to be on offer too
Amid the weakness the market awaits the start-up of Australian liquefaction in 2015 with BGrsquos QCLNG plant due to start produc-tion in December
In the background Brent crude prices continued to dip sitting more consistently below $8500bbl over the week The last three-month front-month average is now close to $95bbl down by almost $15bbl from the preceding three-month average
Looking further ahead Dominican Re-public power generator AES Dominicana was understood to have completed the purchase of four cargoes for delivery in 2015 following a recently-closed tender
Prices were pegged within a $1200-1400MMBtu range with one cargo to be delivered each quarter The company has pre-viously bought from majors BP and Shell

NWS volumes add pressure Australiarsquos NWS was understood to have been awarded a free on board (FOB) price this week for late November at $1050MMBtu and a delivered ex-ship (DES) cargo of $1150MMBtu for mid-to-late December
The lack of buying interest from end-users triggered the expectation that sellers or port-folio participants would most likely be the successful parties in the tender award Mar-ket sources said London-headed EDFT was a potential winner but this was not confirmed
The fall in near-month spot prices led some sellers to talk as far forward as March in terms of trying to set up deals Little was cur-rently achievable into Japan South Korea and China although in the last-named market private gas distributor ENN was heard to have secured a cargo for late December
With the exception of an upward price rally in September the tone of the market has predominantly been weak over the second half of the year and even before Steady pro-duction and adequate stocks have cut buyer motivation to enter the spot market
Bids that would previously have been ruled out are now closer to market value This includes interest from India where gas network operator GAIL was understood to be probing the spot market for December cargoes at prices between $1000-1100MMBtu
Falling FOB The step-change down in the market became gradually clearer over the course of the week with further feedback on falling FOB prices from Trinidad A cargo was heard to have been sold at below $1100MMBtu ndash and potentially much lower
While weaker Asian markets have taken the headlines demand is also muted from South America with Brazil considered the only likely spot buyer at present But even Petrobras has seen improved access to com-peting fuels amid lower crude oil prices rising domestic gas output and rising hydro-electricity output
Falling prices have hit achievable netback prices although the lack of demand makes most calculations currently irrelevant Accord-ing to ICIS assessments the more efficient tri-fuel diesel electric (TFDE) vessels could permit an FOB price in the mid- to upper-$1000sMMBtu from Qatar into east Asian markets for prompt loading
israel issues tender Turkey active Mediterranean buyers ndash often at the edge of events within the global market ndash came to the fore this week
State-run Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) was understood to have tendered a cargo for delivery for next February with a deadline of 18 November
The 151000 Expedient is the countryrsquos current floating storage and regasifica-
tion unit following the departure of the 138000cbm Excellence in September
IEC last received a cargo in August from BP aboard the 151000cbm British Diamond from Trinidad Israel requires lean gas rather than richer specifications from providers such as Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria
Price spreads between all LNG importing markets narrowed in the past week Most Euro-pean countries saw falling domestic hub prices despite rising seasonal temperatures and had no need to try and secure cargoes Turkey was to receive its second November cargo late in the month shipping data showed
State buyer BOTAS expects the arrival of the 155000cbm Arctic Aurora at Aliaga on 27 November following the berthing of the 140000cbm Arctic Voyager at Aliaga on 9 November ship data indicates Some sources suggest one of the cargoes could represent a back-to-back trade between Statoil and Gunvor with the Swiss trader then selling to BOTAS to backfill a short position
Qatargas is expected to provide a string of cargoes to Turkey this winter alongside BP
Turkey and Greece could benefit from the falling global market should the price trend continue
Spain is sinking High LNG stocks and falling delivered prices put Spanish sellers in an increasingly difficult position this week with FOB prices from the Mediterranean country sliding and likely to fall further
Latest system operator data from Enagas showed a line up of eight reloads provisionally booked from Spanish terminals in December including four from Huelva Debate continued over the value of in-tank LNG a key element behind the viability of reload prices
The terminal at Barcelona is still to receive two vessels this month and with no reloads booked until the end of the year it looks likely to approach near full capacity
Given falling DES prices in Asia and South America any fresh back-to-back prompt re-load spot trade would have to be concluded at much lower prices with end users unlikely to be in the market in the short term at least
Elsewhere in Europe the UKrsquos Grain LNG terminal performed a first cool-down op-eration as capacity holder Centrica delivered LNG into the 125000cbm Wilgas this week
Centrica is understood to have chartered the vessel in the $30000sday for a 65-day round-trip voyage The vessel is expected to pick up volumes from another European port before heading east through Suez
regional charter imbalance The regional supply imbalance between available prompt vessels in the Atlantic and Pacific is continuing to underpin geographical charter spreads
There is effectively zero availability in the Atlantic Basin until the second
The NWS FOB price for late November
was heard at $1050MMBtu

half of November shipbrokers said The 160000cbm Lobito is still open once it dis-charges its Bonny-sourced cargo in Brazil on behalf of Total in mid-November although prospective charter interest is understood to be firming The diesel electric vessel is thought to be valued in the low-$70000sday though this could not be confirmed One of two other similar vessels open in the Atlantic in Novem-ber is being offered in the $80000sday
The Lobitorsquos sister vessel the 160000cbm Soyo is understood to shortly start a 90-day charter with UK-based BG Group The transaction is thought to have occurred around mid-October and would allow for a November cargo lifting In the meantime the 160000cbm Cubal subchartered by RWE has lifted a Spanish reload
Mid-term charter talks to set markerWest African producer Nigeria LNG (NLNG) is said to have rejected prices in its one-year charter tender above the $63000day mark
Following the close of a week-long tender window for up to five diesel electric ships on 15 October numerous shipowners have been told that ideas in the mid-$65000day were too expensive ICIS understands
Shipowners are factoring in the perceived values from security of employment over a bearish 12-month outlook However ship-owners are also aware that NLNG would be in a position to pay more than a trader on a comparable time horizon
ldquoWith NLNG there will be no idle time so they donrsquot mind paying a premium With traders sometimes you want a lower rate to compensate for idle time between bidding for volumesrdquo one shipbroker said

GAIL enters final negotiations for US Sabine Pass FOB saleindian gas network operator GAIL is understood to have short-listed three com-panies for the sale of its 1mtpa US Sabine Pass LNG volumes which are being marketed on a free on board (FOB) basis for a five-year period
Multiple parties could gain tranches of the 1mtpa on offer with an award likely between the end of November and mid-December Germany-headquartered utility EON a trading house and an Asian company have all made it onto the shortlist ICIS un-derstands
Several participants including two Switzerland-based trading houses and Rus-siarsquos Gazprom were understood to have had advanced sales discussions with GAIL although Gazprom would not have made it to the final three
The value of the entire 1mtpa volumes for the five-year period is estimated at $25bn
The potential bid level from market par-ticipants for the Sabine Pass volumes was previously understood to be $100-150MMBtu above GAILrsquos contract price However the exact bid price could not be confirmed with GAIL
The remaining 25mtpa Sabine Pass LNG volumes will be sold to Indian companies for use in the domestic market an industry source said
GAIL secured 35mtpa of volumes through a 20-year long-term contract from US-based Chenierersquos plant in Louisiana
The Indian company agreed a purchase price of 115 of the US Henry Hub natural gas futuresrsquo price plus a $300MMBtu lique-faction fee on an FOB basis
The construction of the Sabine Pass plantrsquos train 4 is 50 completed and volumes from this are likely to start flowing in the first quar-ter of 2018 a market source said
Cheniere had estimated that the Sabine Pass plantrsquos trains 3 and 4 which are con-tracted to South Korearsquos KOGAS and GAIL respectively would come on line sometime between 2016 and 2017 Trains 1 and 2 are marketed to UK-based BG Group and Spainrsquos Gas Natural Fenosa
GAIL is still planning to set up an LNG trading desk in Singapore by 2017 before the Sabine Pass volumes start flowing
ldquoFOB volumes from US projects will be actively traded from Singaporerdquo a source close to the process said Ranjana Kaushal
Shellrsquos LNG Canada finalises electricity rate with BC Hydro Shellrsquos planned 12mtpa LNG Canada ex-port project in British Columbia has secured electricity rates with the province-run BC Hydro the province announced on 4 Novem-ber
This gives Shell a first-mover advantage in a province still determining how to provide adequate supply to the proposed export projects Royal Dutch Shell is the operator of the proposed Kitimat project along with Chinarsquos PetroChina South Korean gas com-pany KOGAS and Japanese trading company Mitsubishi
BC Hydro set the rate with the Shell-led consortium at (Canadian) $8302megawatt hour (MWh) before taxes
The rate for LNG customers will then increase by 2 each year until 2024 after which the rate will stay constant In compari-son the average rate for a non-LNG industrial user will be $5434MWh which will stay constant until a gradual ramp-up after the expansion costs are covered
BC Hydro forecast that 3000GWyear of electricity would be required for the proposed LNG projects although the utility has not ac-counted for a set number of projects given that none of the planned Western Canadian projects have reached final investment
The announcement by BC Hydro is anoth-er step forward for western Canadian project participants to determine costs
However BC Hydro would likely have to acquire new generation should another LNG project commit to a rate with the utility Min-ister of Mines and Energy Bill Bennett told members of the press on 4 November
Projects proposed in the Prince Rupert area would be even more pressed to secure
electricity from BC Hydro given that there would not be sufficient transmission in place
LNG projects could use internal gas-fired generation for electricity use or come up with an array of renewable energy other than hy-dro such as wind
Shellrsquos benefit in securing BC Hydro rates early on will likely cascade to the projectrsquos overall target to reduce emissions The prov-ince also recently established in late October strict carbon emission targets for the export project of 016 carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) tonnes per tonne of LNG produced Globally LNG facilities have emissions intensi-ties of 018CO2eLNG tonne and 027CO2eLNG tonne the province estimated
Local PNW stakeholders hold back Aside from securing electricity planning western Canadian export projects must still gain acceptance among the First Nations in the province in order to gain full right-of-way passage Some projects such as Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS and its Pacific NorthWest LNG venture have faced more difficult approvals from First Nations due to initial site designs and use of the marine channels near the site on Lelu Island
On 5 November a consortium of First Nations issued a statement condemning the proposed 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest LNG project citing concerns in potential damage to salmon habitats and being left out of the consultation process
The statement represented the Wetrsquosuwetrsquoen Gitanyow First Nation Lake Babine Nation and Gitxsan Nation

The marketing consortium for Chilersquos Quintero LNG import terminal has issued an open season call-of-interest round for companies seeking to take new capacity made available through a terminal expansion programme
GNL Chile the consortium which repre-sents the Quintero terminalrsquos existing three offtakers ndash power generator Endesa Chile Chilean state refiner ENAP and local gas dis-tributor Metrogas ndash announced the launch of the open season on 4 November
The company expects the process to last approximately a year with the aim of finalis-ing new offtake contracts by the end of 2015
Work is then expected to begin on the expansion project in 2016 enabling the start of new contracts in 2019 a source within Chile told ICIS
The installation of a new storage tank at the facility and a fourth vaporising unit is ex-pected to add 5 million cubic metres (mcm)day in additional capacity taking total send out capacity to 20mcmday (just over 5mtpa) by 2019 A total of 32mcmday in regasifica-tion capacity will be made available through the open season round
Companies based both in Chile and internationally will be able to make offers in the open season although Quinterorsquos current offtakers will not be able to participate said a source within Chile
Offers will be considered based on the commitment to take a minimum of 06mcmday Contract terms of 10 15 and 20 years will be considered through the open season round ICIS understands
An additional 18mcmday in capacity made available through the expansion stage has been reserved by GNL Chile and can be offered either to the existing offtakers or new entrants outside the open season process at a later date
Government supportThe 32mcmday offered through the open season represents the amount Chilersquos government promised to make available to new market entrants through its latest energy policy announced in May this year
Energy minister Maximo Pacheco an-nounced that the government would seek to extend the use of imported natural gas through the country enforcing open access
rights at the countryrsquos existing two terminals ndash Quintero and Mejillones in the north ndash as well as promoting the development of a third regasification facility in the south of the country
Managers at the Quintero terminal have also been focused on finalising the installa-tion of a new vaporising unit at the terminal which will expand capacity from 10mcmday to 15mcmday from early next year
Capacity will remain divided between the three current offtakers when the first expan-sion stage comes online
Power generators on Chilersquos SIC power grid such as Colbun and AES Gener are expected to lead domestic interest in the open season tender The companies currently purchase regasified LNG volumes from the terminalrsquos existing offtakers and in 2012 announced plans to build a second import terminal in the Quintero bay region
The parties awarded a contract for the provision of a floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) to Norwegian shipbuilder Hoegh in September 2012 however pro-gress on the project has since ground to a halt

Turkey could establish a thriving LNG-for-trucks business as the country is in the process of expanding its existing capacities and export volumes to neighbouring Greece and Bulgaria a source at the Turkish gas in-cumbent BOTAS told ICIS
Turkeyrsquos current capacity at the privately owned Aliaga LNG terminal is 50 trucksday and approximately 75 trucks at the BOTAS-operated Marmara LNG terminal Hizir Hakan Unal gas specialist at BOTAS said
However their combined capacities could increase to 200 trucksday with each truck able to carry almost 60 cubic metres of lique-fied natural gas
Unal who has recently published a report titled ldquoThird Party Access to Turkeyrsquos natural gas transmission system 2007-2013rdquo said Turkish gas companies were interested in this niche business not only for the domestic market but also for exports to Greece and Bulgaria
The two EU countries could be ideal mar-kets for Turkey given the existence of a num-ber of industries currently using heating oil propane or gasoil as feedstock that would benefit from switching to cheaper and more
environmentally friendly natural gas Industries that are isolated from natural
gas pipelines are increasingly turning to trucked LNG across all four corners of Europe
The wider trucking industry itself is emerging as a new source of demand with recent developments promoting LNG as a transportation fuel
The European Commission has proposed that by 2020 LNG refuelling stations for trucks are to be installed every 400km along roads of the Trans European Core Network Two such arteries run up to the border that Turkey shares with Greece and Bulgaria
In an interview with ICIS Michael Thomadakis a member of the board at the Greek regulator RAE said there was no legal obstacle to such a trade as far as Greece was concerned
He said RAE had been on the verge of granting a license to a company which had asked to import LNG in trucks from Turkey but the application was unsuccessful because the applicant could not prove its financial vi-ability
ldquoThere is no problem to import gas on trucks or otherwise from Turkey ❯❯ Page 13
Keppel signs 1mtpa HoA with PetronasSingapore-based Keppel Gas a fully-owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings has signed a 10-year 1mtpa heads of agreement (HoA) purchase deal with Malaysiarsquos incumbent oil and gas producer Petronas the company said on 4 November
The agreement would supplement two existing pipeline gas deals under which Kep-pel purchases gas from Malaysia
It is contingent on Keppel Gas receiving an LNG import license and regulatory approv-al from Singaporersquos Energy Market Authority
The LNG supplies will be sourced from Petronasrsquo global portfolio
ldquoThis is another of many steps that Kep-pel has committed over the last decade and more to support our governmentrsquos efforts to improve the competitiveness of energy sup-plies to Singaporerdquo said Ong Tiong Guan the CEO of Keppel Infrastructure
Industry sources in Singapore said the deal is likely to be indexed to crude oil One source added that the price of LNG is likely to be above what Keppel Gas pays for pipeline deliveries from Malaysia
Keppel Infrastructure operates a 1300MW combined cycle gas fired power plant in Jurong Island in Singapore
The company signed a gas supply agree-ment with Petronas back in 2005 Under that agreement up to 115 million cubic feet (33 million cubic metres)day of natural gas are delivered to Singapore for a period of ap-proximately 18 years starting mid-2006
Additional gas sales from Petronas to Singapore could mean that Keppel expects to see additional domestic demand or has found downstream customers for the volumes The pipeline delivering gas from Malaysia is also connected with Indonesia This could poten-tially allow Keppel and Petronas to balance their LNG contract via pipeline gas
Keppel Gas has also a gas supply contract with US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil which started in 2009 Under this contract Keppel delivers gas to ExxonMobilrsquos petro-chemical complex in Jurong Island Roman Kazmin
Decision delays for Rosneftrsquos Pechora LNG plant in NenetsThe proposed 52 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Pechora LNG project in the Nenets autonomous district of Russia will not have a finalised commercial structure until the end of 2014 ICIS understands
The project is operated by independent Russian oil and gas holding Alltech which in May signed an agreement with Russiarsquos incumbent oil producer Rosneft to create a joint venture
The structure was supposed to be final-ised on 1 September 2014 according to a statement issued in May by Rosneft
Pechora LNG was not granted an LNG export license in a decision by the Russian government that came after the initial May announcement It could still export LNG on the basis of a license held by Rosneft How-ever Rosneft has gained a strong bargaining position with Alltech group on the back of the legislative decision
Rosneft has faced sanctions from the United States on the back of Russiarsquos involve-ment in the conflict in Ukraine
This has left the company with limited op-tions of raising finance It has turned to the Russian government for assistance request-ing a loan from the National Wealth Fund
The cost of Pechora LNG is estimated at $53bn-66bn
Rosneftrsquos limited capacity to raise finance on certain markets could have led the compa-ny to reconsider its priorities It is developing the Far East LNG project on Russiarsquos Sakhalin island together with the US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil
The capital-intensive project is further advanced than Pechora LNG as its resource base is already producing sufficient volumes of gas
ldquoPechora LNG is still in the very early stages The location of the project is also chal-lenging I think that Rosneft has other priori-ties particularly with recent softness on crude marketsrdquo an industry source in Russia said
Rosneft which relies primarily on profits driven by crude exports from Russia is facing a dramatically different economic environ-ment compared with May
Brent crude has fallen to below $85bbl compared to over $100bbl earlier this year
Coupled with ongoing sanctions Rosneft could choose to delay the project until the economics become more viable both in terms of crude-indexed LNG sales and the cost of financing Roman Kazmin

Colbun has instead focused on taking ca-pacity at the existing terminal firstly through negotiations with the current offtakers in 2013 and then through a possible capacity lending agreement with ENAP in 2014
Discussions between the parties for 045mtpa in capacity ground to halt in September with Colbun instead signing an agreement to buy 900mcm of natural gas from Metrogas between 2015 and 2019 (see GLM 4 September 2014) James Fowler

Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021
divert volumes to the south west for LNG ex-portsrdquo Pemex gas and petrochemical director Alejandro Martinez told ICIS
Pemexrsquos original plans focused on the use of floating LNG technology(see GLM 16 July 2014) However the company is now leaning towards the construction of an onshore facil-ity Martinez added
PartnersPemex is unlikely to be able to develop the project on its own sources close to the development told ICIS previously and is open to keeping only a minority stake in the venture Conversations over a future partnership have already been held with at least one existing global LNG supplier ICIS understands
Plans for a tolling mechanism for offtak-ers could be announced as early as next year according to De la Huerta Prices at which gas will be sold by Pemex will likely be regulated by Mexicorsquos energy regulatory commission CRE under regulations established through Mexicorsquos new energy reforms
Several other export projects have been proposed for Mexicorsquos Pacific coast US-based utility Sempra has spoken previously about its desire to convert its existing Costa Azul LNG terminal on the Baja California peninsula into a liquefaction facility with the aim of sending US-produced shale gas into northeast Asian markets
Sempra is currently conducting gas stud-ies to consider the size structure and eco-nomics of a potential export facility Semprarsquos chief executive officer Debra Reed said during the third-quarter 2014 earnings presentation on 4 November
The company has received strong interest from potential offtakers for Costa Azul Reed added although the impact on contracts with Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE must also still be considered The import contract ndash which ends in 2028 ndash brings in about $150m in cash flow a year Reed said
ldquoWe should have a better sense of these factors and potential timing in the first half of next yearrdquo Reed said James Fowler Ruth Liao
Hoegh EGAS sign 2015 time charter contractNorwegian-based ship owner Hoegh LNG said on Monday it had signed a five-year time charter contract with Egyptrsquos EGAS that will start by the end of the first quarter of 2015
The contract refers to the delivery of a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) vessel which would help deliver gas to Egyptrsquos chronically short domestic market
The newbuild 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Hoegh Gallant has been undertaking sea trials around South Korea over the last few months amid reports of ongoing delays to its potential employment as the planned Egyp-tian import terminal and uncertainty over contract details
The vessel was originally due to be deliv-ered into Egyptrsquos Ain Sokhna in August but this was later put back to December Hoegh
said it is considering how it could utilise the vessel as an LNG carrier before it is delivered to the Egyptian port
Hoegh said the FSRU contract is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA (earn-ings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) of $40m This would equate to a daily fee of around $110000 based on a 365-dayyear utilisation of the vessel However with additional operating costs estimated to be $20000day according to one ship analyst the total charter hire would be closer to $130000day
The media has been full of reports of ru-moured LNG supply deals into Egypt A story from the local press on 1 November cited a government official saying previous agree-ments with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Algeriarsquos Sonatrach were not binding Stories appear
almost daily from Egypt over the cuts in gas supply to the power grid and to industrial users
LNG exports from the countryrsquos two lique-faction plants have all but ceased due to the lack of available feedgas
Ongoing negotiations over how to develop further import infrastructure are focused on pipe links to the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan gas fields
Hoegh on 4 November also said it was awarded an FSRU contract by Colombian Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) for a new LNG import terminal in Cartagena on the Atlantic coast
The contract is subject to SPEC obtain-ing necessary environmental licenses for the project which is expected to start operations mid-2016 Hoegh said Edward Cox

Indian-Japanese joint buyers consider swapsA joint LNG purchasing agreement between Indiarsquos GAIL and Japanese utility Chubu Electric could include LNG swaps between the compa-nies GAIL managing director Bhuwan Chan-dra Tripathi said on 6 November The two firms are now in ldquoadvanced stages of discussionsrdquo regarding the memorandum of understanding they entered into in March 2014 Tripathi said during a panel discussion at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
A joint venture would allow them to ne-gotiate prices with LNG producers as a team and allow for swapping cargoes to better meet demand obligations Tripathi said
LNG buyers across Asia are exploring joint buying of gas as a way to possibly cut procurement costs Chubu Electric besides the GAIL alliance talks is also talking to Singapore-based Pavilion Energy
Although such a strategy might work for buyers in one market ndash such as the buying alliance Chubu and Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) announced last month ndash LNG alliances join-ing buyers in different countries with different domestic market conditions would have less chance for success said Jonathan Stern senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies ldquoI can understand the case for the Japanese but find it difficult to understand one for two end-users in two different marketsrdquo
Osaka Gas Japanrsquos second-largest natural gas utility said on 5 November it also is in talks to join the fuel buyersrsquo alliance TEPCO and Chubu Electric formed last month local media reported
Osaka Gas is the latest Japanese company to seek a joint venture to buy LNG in the world market It would add its demand to the alliance which would already be the worldrsquos largest Ben Lefebvre

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

NWS volumes add pressure Australiarsquos NWS was understood to have been awarded a free on board (FOB) price this week for late November at $1050MMBtu and a delivered ex-ship (DES) cargo of $1150MMBtu for mid-to-late December
The lack of buying interest from end-users triggered the expectation that sellers or port-folio participants would most likely be the successful parties in the tender award Mar-ket sources said London-headed EDFT was a potential winner but this was not confirmed
The fall in near-month spot prices led some sellers to talk as far forward as March in terms of trying to set up deals Little was cur-rently achievable into Japan South Korea and China although in the last-named market private gas distributor ENN was heard to have secured a cargo for late December
With the exception of an upward price rally in September the tone of the market has predominantly been weak over the second half of the year and even before Steady pro-duction and adequate stocks have cut buyer motivation to enter the spot market
Bids that would previously have been ruled out are now closer to market value This includes interest from India where gas network operator GAIL was understood to be probing the spot market for December cargoes at prices between $1000-1100MMBtu
Falling FOB The step-change down in the market became gradually clearer over the course of the week with further feedback on falling FOB prices from Trinidad A cargo was heard to have been sold at below $1100MMBtu ndash and potentially much lower
While weaker Asian markets have taken the headlines demand is also muted from South America with Brazil considered the only likely spot buyer at present But even Petrobras has seen improved access to com-peting fuels amid lower crude oil prices rising domestic gas output and rising hydro-electricity output
Falling prices have hit achievable netback prices although the lack of demand makes most calculations currently irrelevant Accord-ing to ICIS assessments the more efficient tri-fuel diesel electric (TFDE) vessels could permit an FOB price in the mid- to upper-$1000sMMBtu from Qatar into east Asian markets for prompt loading
israel issues tender Turkey active Mediterranean buyers ndash often at the edge of events within the global market ndash came to the fore this week
State-run Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) was understood to have tendered a cargo for delivery for next February with a deadline of 18 November
The 151000 Expedient is the countryrsquos current floating storage and regasifica-
tion unit following the departure of the 138000cbm Excellence in September
IEC last received a cargo in August from BP aboard the 151000cbm British Diamond from Trinidad Israel requires lean gas rather than richer specifications from providers such as Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria
Price spreads between all LNG importing markets narrowed in the past week Most Euro-pean countries saw falling domestic hub prices despite rising seasonal temperatures and had no need to try and secure cargoes Turkey was to receive its second November cargo late in the month shipping data showed
State buyer BOTAS expects the arrival of the 155000cbm Arctic Aurora at Aliaga on 27 November following the berthing of the 140000cbm Arctic Voyager at Aliaga on 9 November ship data indicates Some sources suggest one of the cargoes could represent a back-to-back trade between Statoil and Gunvor with the Swiss trader then selling to BOTAS to backfill a short position
Qatargas is expected to provide a string of cargoes to Turkey this winter alongside BP
Turkey and Greece could benefit from the falling global market should the price trend continue
Spain is sinking High LNG stocks and falling delivered prices put Spanish sellers in an increasingly difficult position this week with FOB prices from the Mediterranean country sliding and likely to fall further
Latest system operator data from Enagas showed a line up of eight reloads provisionally booked from Spanish terminals in December including four from Huelva Debate continued over the value of in-tank LNG a key element behind the viability of reload prices
The terminal at Barcelona is still to receive two vessels this month and with no reloads booked until the end of the year it looks likely to approach near full capacity
Given falling DES prices in Asia and South America any fresh back-to-back prompt re-load spot trade would have to be concluded at much lower prices with end users unlikely to be in the market in the short term at least
Elsewhere in Europe the UKrsquos Grain LNG terminal performed a first cool-down op-eration as capacity holder Centrica delivered LNG into the 125000cbm Wilgas this week
Centrica is understood to have chartered the vessel in the $30000sday for a 65-day round-trip voyage The vessel is expected to pick up volumes from another European port before heading east through Suez
regional charter imbalance The regional supply imbalance between available prompt vessels in the Atlantic and Pacific is continuing to underpin geographical charter spreads
There is effectively zero availability in the Atlantic Basin until the second
The NWS FOB price for late November
was heard at $1050MMBtu

half of November shipbrokers said The 160000cbm Lobito is still open once it dis-charges its Bonny-sourced cargo in Brazil on behalf of Total in mid-November although prospective charter interest is understood to be firming The diesel electric vessel is thought to be valued in the low-$70000sday though this could not be confirmed One of two other similar vessels open in the Atlantic in Novem-ber is being offered in the $80000sday
The Lobitorsquos sister vessel the 160000cbm Soyo is understood to shortly start a 90-day charter with UK-based BG Group The transaction is thought to have occurred around mid-October and would allow for a November cargo lifting In the meantime the 160000cbm Cubal subchartered by RWE has lifted a Spanish reload
Mid-term charter talks to set markerWest African producer Nigeria LNG (NLNG) is said to have rejected prices in its one-year charter tender above the $63000day mark
Following the close of a week-long tender window for up to five diesel electric ships on 15 October numerous shipowners have been told that ideas in the mid-$65000day were too expensive ICIS understands
Shipowners are factoring in the perceived values from security of employment over a bearish 12-month outlook However ship-owners are also aware that NLNG would be in a position to pay more than a trader on a comparable time horizon
ldquoWith NLNG there will be no idle time so they donrsquot mind paying a premium With traders sometimes you want a lower rate to compensate for idle time between bidding for volumesrdquo one shipbroker said

GAIL enters final negotiations for US Sabine Pass FOB saleindian gas network operator GAIL is understood to have short-listed three com-panies for the sale of its 1mtpa US Sabine Pass LNG volumes which are being marketed on a free on board (FOB) basis for a five-year period
Multiple parties could gain tranches of the 1mtpa on offer with an award likely between the end of November and mid-December Germany-headquartered utility EON a trading house and an Asian company have all made it onto the shortlist ICIS un-derstands
Several participants including two Switzerland-based trading houses and Rus-siarsquos Gazprom were understood to have had advanced sales discussions with GAIL although Gazprom would not have made it to the final three
The value of the entire 1mtpa volumes for the five-year period is estimated at $25bn
The potential bid level from market par-ticipants for the Sabine Pass volumes was previously understood to be $100-150MMBtu above GAILrsquos contract price However the exact bid price could not be confirmed with GAIL
The remaining 25mtpa Sabine Pass LNG volumes will be sold to Indian companies for use in the domestic market an industry source said
GAIL secured 35mtpa of volumes through a 20-year long-term contract from US-based Chenierersquos plant in Louisiana
The Indian company agreed a purchase price of 115 of the US Henry Hub natural gas futuresrsquo price plus a $300MMBtu lique-faction fee on an FOB basis
The construction of the Sabine Pass plantrsquos train 4 is 50 completed and volumes from this are likely to start flowing in the first quar-ter of 2018 a market source said
Cheniere had estimated that the Sabine Pass plantrsquos trains 3 and 4 which are con-tracted to South Korearsquos KOGAS and GAIL respectively would come on line sometime between 2016 and 2017 Trains 1 and 2 are marketed to UK-based BG Group and Spainrsquos Gas Natural Fenosa
GAIL is still planning to set up an LNG trading desk in Singapore by 2017 before the Sabine Pass volumes start flowing
ldquoFOB volumes from US projects will be actively traded from Singaporerdquo a source close to the process said Ranjana Kaushal
Shellrsquos LNG Canada finalises electricity rate with BC Hydro Shellrsquos planned 12mtpa LNG Canada ex-port project in British Columbia has secured electricity rates with the province-run BC Hydro the province announced on 4 Novem-ber
This gives Shell a first-mover advantage in a province still determining how to provide adequate supply to the proposed export projects Royal Dutch Shell is the operator of the proposed Kitimat project along with Chinarsquos PetroChina South Korean gas com-pany KOGAS and Japanese trading company Mitsubishi
BC Hydro set the rate with the Shell-led consortium at (Canadian) $8302megawatt hour (MWh) before taxes
The rate for LNG customers will then increase by 2 each year until 2024 after which the rate will stay constant In compari-son the average rate for a non-LNG industrial user will be $5434MWh which will stay constant until a gradual ramp-up after the expansion costs are covered
BC Hydro forecast that 3000GWyear of electricity would be required for the proposed LNG projects although the utility has not ac-counted for a set number of projects given that none of the planned Western Canadian projects have reached final investment
The announcement by BC Hydro is anoth-er step forward for western Canadian project participants to determine costs
However BC Hydro would likely have to acquire new generation should another LNG project commit to a rate with the utility Min-ister of Mines and Energy Bill Bennett told members of the press on 4 November
Projects proposed in the Prince Rupert area would be even more pressed to secure
electricity from BC Hydro given that there would not be sufficient transmission in place
LNG projects could use internal gas-fired generation for electricity use or come up with an array of renewable energy other than hy-dro such as wind
Shellrsquos benefit in securing BC Hydro rates early on will likely cascade to the projectrsquos overall target to reduce emissions The prov-ince also recently established in late October strict carbon emission targets for the export project of 016 carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) tonnes per tonne of LNG produced Globally LNG facilities have emissions intensi-ties of 018CO2eLNG tonne and 027CO2eLNG tonne the province estimated
Local PNW stakeholders hold back Aside from securing electricity planning western Canadian export projects must still gain acceptance among the First Nations in the province in order to gain full right-of-way passage Some projects such as Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS and its Pacific NorthWest LNG venture have faced more difficult approvals from First Nations due to initial site designs and use of the marine channels near the site on Lelu Island
On 5 November a consortium of First Nations issued a statement condemning the proposed 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest LNG project citing concerns in potential damage to salmon habitats and being left out of the consultation process
The statement represented the Wetrsquosuwetrsquoen Gitanyow First Nation Lake Babine Nation and Gitxsan Nation

The marketing consortium for Chilersquos Quintero LNG import terminal has issued an open season call-of-interest round for companies seeking to take new capacity made available through a terminal expansion programme
GNL Chile the consortium which repre-sents the Quintero terminalrsquos existing three offtakers ndash power generator Endesa Chile Chilean state refiner ENAP and local gas dis-tributor Metrogas ndash announced the launch of the open season on 4 November
The company expects the process to last approximately a year with the aim of finalis-ing new offtake contracts by the end of 2015
Work is then expected to begin on the expansion project in 2016 enabling the start of new contracts in 2019 a source within Chile told ICIS
The installation of a new storage tank at the facility and a fourth vaporising unit is ex-pected to add 5 million cubic metres (mcm)day in additional capacity taking total send out capacity to 20mcmday (just over 5mtpa) by 2019 A total of 32mcmday in regasifica-tion capacity will be made available through the open season round
Companies based both in Chile and internationally will be able to make offers in the open season although Quinterorsquos current offtakers will not be able to participate said a source within Chile
Offers will be considered based on the commitment to take a minimum of 06mcmday Contract terms of 10 15 and 20 years will be considered through the open season round ICIS understands
An additional 18mcmday in capacity made available through the expansion stage has been reserved by GNL Chile and can be offered either to the existing offtakers or new entrants outside the open season process at a later date
Government supportThe 32mcmday offered through the open season represents the amount Chilersquos government promised to make available to new market entrants through its latest energy policy announced in May this year
Energy minister Maximo Pacheco an-nounced that the government would seek to extend the use of imported natural gas through the country enforcing open access
rights at the countryrsquos existing two terminals ndash Quintero and Mejillones in the north ndash as well as promoting the development of a third regasification facility in the south of the country
Managers at the Quintero terminal have also been focused on finalising the installa-tion of a new vaporising unit at the terminal which will expand capacity from 10mcmday to 15mcmday from early next year
Capacity will remain divided between the three current offtakers when the first expan-sion stage comes online
Power generators on Chilersquos SIC power grid such as Colbun and AES Gener are expected to lead domestic interest in the open season tender The companies currently purchase regasified LNG volumes from the terminalrsquos existing offtakers and in 2012 announced plans to build a second import terminal in the Quintero bay region
The parties awarded a contract for the provision of a floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) to Norwegian shipbuilder Hoegh in September 2012 however pro-gress on the project has since ground to a halt

Turkey could establish a thriving LNG-for-trucks business as the country is in the process of expanding its existing capacities and export volumes to neighbouring Greece and Bulgaria a source at the Turkish gas in-cumbent BOTAS told ICIS
Turkeyrsquos current capacity at the privately owned Aliaga LNG terminal is 50 trucksday and approximately 75 trucks at the BOTAS-operated Marmara LNG terminal Hizir Hakan Unal gas specialist at BOTAS said
However their combined capacities could increase to 200 trucksday with each truck able to carry almost 60 cubic metres of lique-fied natural gas
Unal who has recently published a report titled ldquoThird Party Access to Turkeyrsquos natural gas transmission system 2007-2013rdquo said Turkish gas companies were interested in this niche business not only for the domestic market but also for exports to Greece and Bulgaria
The two EU countries could be ideal mar-kets for Turkey given the existence of a num-ber of industries currently using heating oil propane or gasoil as feedstock that would benefit from switching to cheaper and more
environmentally friendly natural gas Industries that are isolated from natural
gas pipelines are increasingly turning to trucked LNG across all four corners of Europe
The wider trucking industry itself is emerging as a new source of demand with recent developments promoting LNG as a transportation fuel
The European Commission has proposed that by 2020 LNG refuelling stations for trucks are to be installed every 400km along roads of the Trans European Core Network Two such arteries run up to the border that Turkey shares with Greece and Bulgaria
In an interview with ICIS Michael Thomadakis a member of the board at the Greek regulator RAE said there was no legal obstacle to such a trade as far as Greece was concerned
He said RAE had been on the verge of granting a license to a company which had asked to import LNG in trucks from Turkey but the application was unsuccessful because the applicant could not prove its financial vi-ability

Keppel signs 1mtpa HoA with PetronasSingapore-based Keppel Gas a fully-owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings has signed a 10-year 1mtpa heads of agreement (HoA) purchase deal with Malaysiarsquos incumbent oil and gas producer Petronas the company said on 4 November
The agreement would supplement two existing pipeline gas deals under which Kep-pel purchases gas from Malaysia
It is contingent on Keppel Gas receiving an LNG import license and regulatory approv-al from Singaporersquos Energy Market Authority
The LNG supplies will be sourced from Petronasrsquo global portfolio
ldquoThis is another of many steps that Kep-pel has committed over the last decade and more to support our governmentrsquos efforts to improve the competitiveness of energy sup-plies to Singaporerdquo said Ong Tiong Guan the CEO of Keppel Infrastructure
Industry sources in Singapore said the deal is likely to be indexed to crude oil One source added that the price of LNG is likely to be above what Keppel Gas pays for pipeline deliveries from Malaysia
Keppel Infrastructure operates a 1300MW combined cycle gas fired power plant in Jurong Island in Singapore
The company signed a gas supply agree-ment with Petronas back in 2005 Under that agreement up to 115 million cubic feet (33 million cubic metres)day of natural gas are delivered to Singapore for a period of ap-proximately 18 years starting mid-2006
Additional gas sales from Petronas to Singapore could mean that Keppel expects to see additional domestic demand or has found downstream customers for the volumes The pipeline delivering gas from Malaysia is also connected with Indonesia This could poten-tially allow Keppel and Petronas to balance their LNG contract via pipeline gas
Keppel Gas has also a gas supply contract with US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil which started in 2009 Under this contract Keppel delivers gas to ExxonMobilrsquos petro-chemical complex in Jurong Island Roman Kazmin
Decision delays for Rosneftrsquos Pechora LNG plant in NenetsThe proposed 52 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Pechora LNG project in the Nenets autonomous district of Russia will not have a finalised commercial structure until the end of 2014 ICIS understands
The project is operated by independent Russian oil and gas holding Alltech which in May signed an agreement with Russiarsquos incumbent oil producer Rosneft to create a joint venture
The structure was supposed to be final-ised on 1 September 2014 according to a statement issued in May by Rosneft
Pechora LNG was not granted an LNG export license in a decision by the Russian government that came after the initial May announcement It could still export LNG on the basis of a license held by Rosneft How-ever Rosneft has gained a strong bargaining position with Alltech group on the back of the legislative decision
Rosneft has faced sanctions from the United States on the back of Russiarsquos involve-ment in the conflict in Ukraine
This has left the company with limited op-tions of raising finance It has turned to the Russian government for assistance request-ing a loan from the National Wealth Fund
The cost of Pechora LNG is estimated at $53bn-66bn
Rosneftrsquos limited capacity to raise finance on certain markets could have led the compa-ny to reconsider its priorities It is developing the Far East LNG project on Russiarsquos Sakhalin island together with the US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil
The capital-intensive project is further advanced than Pechora LNG as its resource base is already producing sufficient volumes of gas
ldquoPechora LNG is still in the very early stages The location of the project is also chal-lenging I think that Rosneft has other priori-ties particularly with recent softness on crude marketsrdquo an industry source in Russia said
Rosneft which relies primarily on profits driven by crude exports from Russia is facing a dramatically different economic environ-ment compared with May
Brent crude has fallen to below $85bbl compared to over $100bbl earlier this year
Coupled with ongoing sanctions Rosneft could choose to delay the project until the economics become more viable both in terms of crude-indexed LNG sales and the cost of financing Roman Kazmin

Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021
divert volumes to the south west for LNG ex-portsrdquo Pemex gas and petrochemical director Alejandro Martinez told ICIS
Pemexrsquos original plans focused on the use of floating LNG technology(see GLM 16 July 2014) However the company is now leaning towards the construction of an onshore facil-ity Martinez added
PartnersPemex is unlikely to be able to develop the project on its own sources close to the development told ICIS previously and is open to keeping only a minority stake in the venture Conversations over a future partnership have already been held with at least one existing global LNG supplier ICIS understands
Plans for a tolling mechanism for offtak-ers could be announced as early as next year according to De la Huerta Prices at which gas will be sold by Pemex will likely be regulated by Mexicorsquos energy regulatory commission CRE under regulations established through Mexicorsquos new energy reforms
Several other export projects have been proposed for Mexicorsquos Pacific coast US-based utility Sempra has spoken previously about its desire to convert its existing Costa Azul LNG terminal on the Baja California peninsula into a liquefaction facility with the aim of sending US-produced shale gas into northeast Asian markets
Sempra is currently conducting gas stud-ies to consider the size structure and eco-nomics of a potential export facility Semprarsquos chief executive officer Debra Reed said during the third-quarter 2014 earnings presentation on 4 November
The company has received strong interest from potential offtakers for Costa Azul Reed added although the impact on contracts with Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE must also still be considered The import contract ndash which ends in 2028 ndash brings in about $150m in cash flow a year Reed said
ldquoWe should have a better sense of these factors and potential timing in the first half of next yearrdquo Reed said James Fowler Ruth Liao
Hoegh EGAS sign 2015 time charter contractNorwegian-based ship owner Hoegh LNG said on Monday it had signed a five-year time charter contract with Egyptrsquos EGAS that will start by the end of the first quarter of 2015
The contract refers to the delivery of a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) vessel which would help deliver gas to Egyptrsquos chronically short domestic market
The newbuild 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Hoegh Gallant has been undertaking sea trials around South Korea over the last few months amid reports of ongoing delays to its potential employment as the planned Egyp-tian import terminal and uncertainty over contract details
The vessel was originally due to be deliv-ered into Egyptrsquos Ain Sokhna in August but this was later put back to December Hoegh
said it is considering how it could utilise the vessel as an LNG carrier before it is delivered to the Egyptian port
Hoegh said the FSRU contract is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA (earn-ings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) of $40m This would equate to a daily fee of around $110000 based on a 365-dayyear utilisation of the vessel However with additional operating costs estimated to be $20000day according to one ship analyst the total charter hire would be closer to $130000day
The media has been full of reports of ru-moured LNG supply deals into Egypt A story from the local press on 1 November cited a government official saying previous agree-ments with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Algeriarsquos Sonatrach were not binding Stories appear
almost daily from Egypt over the cuts in gas supply to the power grid and to industrial users
LNG exports from the countryrsquos two lique-faction plants have all but ceased due to the lack of available feedgas
Ongoing negotiations over how to develop further import infrastructure are focused on pipe links to the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan gas fields
Hoegh on 4 November also said it was awarded an FSRU contract by Colombian Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) for a new LNG import terminal in Cartagena on the Atlantic coast
The contract is subject to SPEC obtain-ing necessary environmental licenses for the project which is expected to start operations mid-2016 Hoegh said Edward Cox

Final investment was initially planned to be reached in late 2014 as the PETRONAS-led project has publicly placed pressure
on the BC provincial government to pass favourable terms on a separate LNG royalty tax
Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman is scheduled to meet with PETRONAS chief executive officer Tan Sri Datorsquo Shamsul Azhar Abbas for the next in a series of negotiations to enable the project to reach a final investment commitment Ruth Liao

Indian-Japanese joint buyers consider swapsA joint LNG purchasing agreement between Indiarsquos GAIL and Japanese utility Chubu Electric could include LNG swaps between the compa-nies GAIL managing director Bhuwan Chan-dra Tripathi said on 6 November The two firms are now in ldquoadvanced stages of discussionsrdquo regarding the memorandum of understanding they entered into in March 2014 Tripathi said during a panel discussion at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
A joint venture would allow them to ne-gotiate prices with LNG producers as a team and allow for swapping cargoes to better meet demand obligations Tripathi said
LNG buyers across Asia are exploring joint buying of gas as a way to possibly cut procurement costs Chubu Electric besides the GAIL alliance talks is also talking to Singapore-based Pavilion Energy
Although such a strategy might work for buyers in one market ndash such as the buying alliance Chubu and Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) announced last month ndash LNG alliances join-ing buyers in different countries with different domestic market conditions would have less chance for success said Jonathan Stern senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies ldquoI can understand the case for the Japanese but find it difficult to understand one for two end-users in two different marketsrdquo
Osaka Gas Japanrsquos second-largest natural gas utility said on 5 November it also is in talks to join the fuel buyersrsquo alliance TEPCO and Chubu Electric formed last month local media reported
Osaka Gas is the latest Japanese company to seek a joint venture to buy LNG in the world market It would add its demand to the alliance which would already be the worldrsquos largest Ben Lefebvre

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors
NGLs are separated at natural gas pro-cessing plants As a valuable feedstock for

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

half of November shipbrokers said The 160000cbm Lobito is still open once it dis-charges its Bonny-sourced cargo in Brazil on behalf of Total in mid-November although prospective charter interest is understood to be firming The diesel electric vessel is thought to be valued in the low-$70000sday though this could not be confirmed One of two other similar vessels open in the Atlantic in Novem-ber is being offered in the $80000sday
The Lobitorsquos sister vessel the 160000cbm Soyo is understood to shortly start a 90-day charter with UK-based BG Group The transaction is thought to have occurred around mid-October and would allow for a November cargo lifting In the meantime the 160000cbm Cubal subchartered by RWE has lifted a Spanish reload
Mid-term charter talks to set markerWest African producer Nigeria LNG (NLNG) is said to have rejected prices in its one-year charter tender above the $63000day mark
Following the close of a week-long tender window for up to five diesel electric ships on 15 October numerous shipowners have been told that ideas in the mid-$65000day were too expensive ICIS understands
Shipowners are factoring in the perceived values from security of employment over a bearish 12-month outlook However ship-owners are also aware that NLNG would be in a position to pay more than a trader on a comparable time horizon
ldquoWith NLNG there will be no idle time so they donrsquot mind paying a premium With traders sometimes you want a lower rate to compensate for idle time between bidding for volumesrdquo one shipbroker said

GAIL enters final negotiations for US Sabine Pass FOB saleindian gas network operator GAIL is understood to have short-listed three com-panies for the sale of its 1mtpa US Sabine Pass LNG volumes which are being marketed on a free on board (FOB) basis for a five-year period
Multiple parties could gain tranches of the 1mtpa on offer with an award likely between the end of November and mid-December Germany-headquartered utility EON a trading house and an Asian company have all made it onto the shortlist ICIS un-derstands
Several participants including two Switzerland-based trading houses and Rus-siarsquos Gazprom were understood to have had advanced sales discussions with GAIL although Gazprom would not have made it to the final three
The value of the entire 1mtpa volumes for the five-year period is estimated at $25bn
The potential bid level from market par-ticipants for the Sabine Pass volumes was previously understood to be $100-150MMBtu above GAILrsquos contract price However the exact bid price could not be confirmed with GAIL
The remaining 25mtpa Sabine Pass LNG volumes will be sold to Indian companies for use in the domestic market an industry source said
GAIL secured 35mtpa of volumes through a 20-year long-term contract from US-based Chenierersquos plant in Louisiana
The Indian company agreed a purchase price of 115 of the US Henry Hub natural gas futuresrsquo price plus a $300MMBtu lique-faction fee on an FOB basis
The construction of the Sabine Pass plantrsquos train 4 is 50 completed and volumes from this are likely to start flowing in the first quar-ter of 2018 a market source said
Cheniere had estimated that the Sabine Pass plantrsquos trains 3 and 4 which are con-tracted to South Korearsquos KOGAS and GAIL respectively would come on line sometime between 2016 and 2017 Trains 1 and 2 are marketed to UK-based BG Group and Spainrsquos Gas Natural Fenosa
GAIL is still planning to set up an LNG trading desk in Singapore by 2017 before the Sabine Pass volumes start flowing
ldquoFOB volumes from US projects will be actively traded from Singaporerdquo a source close to the process said Ranjana Kaushal
Shellrsquos LNG Canada finalises electricity rate with BC Hydro Shellrsquos planned 12mtpa LNG Canada ex-port project in British Columbia has secured electricity rates with the province-run BC Hydro the province announced on 4 Novem-ber
This gives Shell a first-mover advantage in a province still determining how to provide adequate supply to the proposed export projects Royal Dutch Shell is the operator of the proposed Kitimat project along with Chinarsquos PetroChina South Korean gas com-pany KOGAS and Japanese trading company Mitsubishi
BC Hydro set the rate with the Shell-led consortium at (Canadian) $8302megawatt hour (MWh) before taxes
The rate for LNG customers will then increase by 2 each year until 2024 after which the rate will stay constant In compari-son the average rate for a non-LNG industrial user will be $5434MWh which will stay constant until a gradual ramp-up after the expansion costs are covered
BC Hydro forecast that 3000GWyear of electricity would be required for the proposed LNG projects although the utility has not ac-counted for a set number of projects given that none of the planned Western Canadian projects have reached final investment
The announcement by BC Hydro is anoth-er step forward for western Canadian project participants to determine costs
However BC Hydro would likely have to acquire new generation should another LNG project commit to a rate with the utility Min-ister of Mines and Energy Bill Bennett told members of the press on 4 November
Projects proposed in the Prince Rupert area would be even more pressed to secure
electricity from BC Hydro given that there would not be sufficient transmission in place
LNG projects could use internal gas-fired generation for electricity use or come up with an array of renewable energy other than hy-dro such as wind
Shellrsquos benefit in securing BC Hydro rates early on will likely cascade to the projectrsquos overall target to reduce emissions The prov-ince also recently established in late October strict carbon emission targets for the export project of 016 carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) tonnes per tonne of LNG produced Globally LNG facilities have emissions intensi-ties of 018CO2eLNG tonne and 027CO2eLNG tonne the province estimated
Local PNW stakeholders hold back Aside from securing electricity planning western Canadian export projects must still gain acceptance among the First Nations in the province in order to gain full right-of-way passage Some projects such as Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS and its Pacific NorthWest LNG venture have faced more difficult approvals from First Nations due to initial site designs and use of the marine channels near the site on Lelu Island
On 5 November a consortium of First Nations issued a statement condemning the proposed 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest LNG project citing concerns in potential damage to salmon habitats and being left out of the consultation process
The statement represented the Wetrsquosuwetrsquoen Gitanyow First Nation Lake Babine Nation and Gitxsan Nation

The marketing consortium for Chilersquos Quintero LNG import terminal has issued an open season call-of-interest round for companies seeking to take new capacity made available through a terminal expansion programme
GNL Chile the consortium which repre-sents the Quintero terminalrsquos existing three offtakers ndash power generator Endesa Chile Chilean state refiner ENAP and local gas dis-tributor Metrogas ndash announced the launch of the open season on 4 November
The company expects the process to last approximately a year with the aim of finalis-ing new offtake contracts by the end of 2015
Work is then expected to begin on the expansion project in 2016 enabling the start of new contracts in 2019 a source within Chile told ICIS
The installation of a new storage tank at the facility and a fourth vaporising unit is ex-pected to add 5 million cubic metres (mcm)day in additional capacity taking total send out capacity to 20mcmday (just over 5mtpa) by 2019 A total of 32mcmday in regasifica-tion capacity will be made available through the open season round
Companies based both in Chile and internationally will be able to make offers in the open season although Quinterorsquos current offtakers will not be able to participate said a source within Chile
Offers will be considered based on the commitment to take a minimum of 06mcmday Contract terms of 10 15 and 20 years will be considered through the open season round ICIS understands
An additional 18mcmday in capacity made available through the expansion stage has been reserved by GNL Chile and can be offered either to the existing offtakers or new entrants outside the open season process at a later date
Government supportThe 32mcmday offered through the open season represents the amount Chilersquos government promised to make available to new market entrants through its latest energy policy announced in May this year
Energy minister Maximo Pacheco an-nounced that the government would seek to extend the use of imported natural gas through the country enforcing open access
rights at the countryrsquos existing two terminals ndash Quintero and Mejillones in the north ndash as well as promoting the development of a third regasification facility in the south of the country
Managers at the Quintero terminal have also been focused on finalising the installa-tion of a new vaporising unit at the terminal which will expand capacity from 10mcmday to 15mcmday from early next year
Capacity will remain divided between the three current offtakers when the first expan-sion stage comes online
Power generators on Chilersquos SIC power grid such as Colbun and AES Gener are expected to lead domestic interest in the open season tender The companies currently purchase regasified LNG volumes from the terminalrsquos existing offtakers and in 2012 announced plans to build a second import terminal in the Quintero bay region
The parties awarded a contract for the provision of a floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) to Norwegian shipbuilder Hoegh in September 2012 however pro-gress on the project has since ground to a halt

Turkey could establish a thriving LNG-for-trucks business as the country is in the process of expanding its existing capacities and export volumes to neighbouring Greece and Bulgaria a source at the Turkish gas in-cumbent BOTAS told ICIS
Turkeyrsquos current capacity at the privately owned Aliaga LNG terminal is 50 trucksday and approximately 75 trucks at the BOTAS-operated Marmara LNG terminal Hizir Hakan Unal gas specialist at BOTAS said
However their combined capacities could increase to 200 trucksday with each truck able to carry almost 60 cubic metres of lique-fied natural gas
Unal who has recently published a report titled ldquoThird Party Access to Turkeyrsquos natural gas transmission system 2007-2013rdquo said Turkish gas companies were interested in this niche business not only for the domestic market but also for exports to Greece and Bulgaria
The two EU countries could be ideal mar-kets for Turkey given the existence of a num-ber of industries currently using heating oil propane or gasoil as feedstock that would benefit from switching to cheaper and more
environmentally friendly natural gas Industries that are isolated from natural
gas pipelines are increasingly turning to trucked LNG across all four corners of Europe
The wider trucking industry itself is emerging as a new source of demand with recent developments promoting LNG as a transportation fuel
The European Commission has proposed that by 2020 LNG refuelling stations for trucks are to be installed every 400km along roads of the Trans European Core Network Two such arteries run up to the border that Turkey shares with Greece and Bulgaria
In an interview with ICIS Michael Thomadakis a member of the board at the Greek regulator RAE said there was no legal obstacle to such a trade as far as Greece was concerned
He said RAE had been on the verge of granting a license to a company which had asked to import LNG in trucks from Turkey but the application was unsuccessful because the applicant could not prove its financial vi-ability
ldquoThere is no problem to import gas on trucks or otherwise from Turkey ❯❯ Page 13
Keppel signs 1mtpa HoA with PetronasSingapore-based Keppel Gas a fully-owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings has signed a 10-year 1mtpa heads of agreement (HoA) purchase deal with Malaysiarsquos incumbent oil and gas producer Petronas the company said on 4 November
The agreement would supplement two existing pipeline gas deals under which Kep-pel purchases gas from Malaysia
It is contingent on Keppel Gas receiving an LNG import license and regulatory approv-al from Singaporersquos Energy Market Authority
The LNG supplies will be sourced from Petronasrsquo global portfolio
ldquoThis is another of many steps that Kep-pel has committed over the last decade and more to support our governmentrsquos efforts to improve the competitiveness of energy sup-plies to Singaporerdquo said Ong Tiong Guan the CEO of Keppel Infrastructure
Industry sources in Singapore said the deal is likely to be indexed to crude oil One source added that the price of LNG is likely to be above what Keppel Gas pays for pipeline deliveries from Malaysia
Keppel Infrastructure operates a 1300MW combined cycle gas fired power plant in Jurong Island in Singapore
The company signed a gas supply agree-ment with Petronas back in 2005 Under that agreement up to 115 million cubic feet (33 million cubic metres)day of natural gas are delivered to Singapore for a period of ap-proximately 18 years starting mid-2006
Additional gas sales from Petronas to Singapore could mean that Keppel expects to see additional domestic demand or has found downstream customers for the volumes The pipeline delivering gas from Malaysia is also connected with Indonesia This could poten-tially allow Keppel and Petronas to balance their LNG contract via pipeline gas
Keppel Gas has also a gas supply contract with US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil which started in 2009 Under this contract Keppel delivers gas to ExxonMobilrsquos petro-chemical complex in Jurong Island Roman Kazmin
Decision delays for Rosneftrsquos Pechora LNG plant in NenetsThe proposed 52 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Pechora LNG project in the Nenets autonomous district of Russia will not have a finalised commercial structure until the end of 2014 ICIS understands
The project is operated by independent Russian oil and gas holding Alltech which in May signed an agreement with Russiarsquos incumbent oil producer Rosneft to create a joint venture
The structure was supposed to be final-ised on 1 September 2014 according to a statement issued in May by Rosneft
Pechora LNG was not granted an LNG export license in a decision by the Russian government that came after the initial May announcement It could still export LNG on the basis of a license held by Rosneft How-ever Rosneft has gained a strong bargaining position with Alltech group on the back of the legislative decision
Rosneft has faced sanctions from the United States on the back of Russiarsquos involve-ment in the conflict in Ukraine
This has left the company with limited op-tions of raising finance It has turned to the Russian government for assistance request-ing a loan from the National Wealth Fund
The cost of Pechora LNG is estimated at $53bn-66bn
Rosneftrsquos limited capacity to raise finance on certain markets could have led the compa-ny to reconsider its priorities It is developing the Far East LNG project on Russiarsquos Sakhalin island together with the US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil
The capital-intensive project is further advanced than Pechora LNG as its resource base is already producing sufficient volumes of gas
ldquoPechora LNG is still in the very early stages The location of the project is also chal-lenging I think that Rosneft has other priori-ties particularly with recent softness on crude marketsrdquo an industry source in Russia said
Rosneft which relies primarily on profits driven by crude exports from Russia is facing a dramatically different economic environ-ment compared with May
Brent crude has fallen to below $85bbl compared to over $100bbl earlier this year
Coupled with ongoing sanctions Rosneft could choose to delay the project until the economics become more viable both in terms of crude-indexed LNG sales and the cost of financing Roman Kazmin

Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021
divert volumes to the south west for LNG ex-portsrdquo Pemex gas and petrochemical director Alejandro Martinez told ICIS
Pemexrsquos original plans focused on the use of floating LNG technology(see GLM 16 July 2014) However the company is now leaning towards the construction of an onshore facil-ity Martinez added
PartnersPemex is unlikely to be able to develop the project on its own sources close to the development told ICIS previously and is open to keeping only a minority stake in the venture Conversations over a future partnership have already been held with at least one existing global LNG supplier ICIS understands
Plans for a tolling mechanism for offtak-ers could be announced as early as next year according to De la Huerta Prices at which gas will be sold by Pemex will likely be regulated by Mexicorsquos energy regulatory commission CRE under regulations established through Mexicorsquos new energy reforms
Several other export projects have been proposed for Mexicorsquos Pacific coast US-based utility Sempra has spoken previously about its desire to convert its existing Costa Azul LNG terminal on the Baja California peninsula into a liquefaction facility with the aim of sending US-produced shale gas into northeast Asian markets
Sempra is currently conducting gas stud-ies to consider the size structure and eco-nomics of a potential export facility Semprarsquos chief executive officer Debra Reed said during the third-quarter 2014 earnings presentation on 4 November
The company has received strong interest from potential offtakers for Costa Azul Reed added although the impact on contracts with Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE must also still be considered The import contract ndash which ends in 2028 ndash brings in about $150m in cash flow a year Reed said
ldquoWe should have a better sense of these factors and potential timing in the first half of next yearrdquo Reed said James Fowler Ruth Liao
Hoegh EGAS sign 2015 time charter contractNorwegian-based ship owner Hoegh LNG said on Monday it had signed a five-year time charter contract with Egyptrsquos EGAS that will start by the end of the first quarter of 2015
The contract refers to the delivery of a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) vessel which would help deliver gas to Egyptrsquos chronically short domestic market
The newbuild 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Hoegh Gallant has been undertaking sea trials around South Korea over the last few months amid reports of ongoing delays to its potential employment as the planned Egyp-tian import terminal and uncertainty over contract details
The vessel was originally due to be deliv-ered into Egyptrsquos Ain Sokhna in August but this was later put back to December Hoegh
said it is considering how it could utilise the vessel as an LNG carrier before it is delivered to the Egyptian port
Hoegh said the FSRU contract is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA (earn-ings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) of $40m This would equate to a daily fee of around $110000 based on a 365-dayyear utilisation of the vessel However with additional operating costs estimated to be $20000day according to one ship analyst the total charter hire would be closer to $130000day
The media has been full of reports of ru-moured LNG supply deals into Egypt A story from the local press on 1 November cited a government official saying previous agree-ments with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Algeriarsquos Sonatrach were not binding Stories appear
almost daily from Egypt over the cuts in gas supply to the power grid and to industrial users
LNG exports from the countryrsquos two lique-faction plants have all but ceased due to the lack of available feedgas
Ongoing negotiations over how to develop further import infrastructure are focused on pipe links to the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan gas fields
Hoegh on 4 November also said it was awarded an FSRU contract by Colombian Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) for a new LNG import terminal in Cartagena on the Atlantic coast
The contract is subject to SPEC obtain-ing necessary environmental licenses for the project which is expected to start operations mid-2016 Hoegh said Edward Cox

Final investment was initially planned to be reached in late 2014 as the PETRONAS-led project has publicly placed pressure
on the BC provincial government to pass favourable terms on a separate LNG royalty tax
Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman is scheduled to meet with PETRONAS chief executive officer Tan Sri Datorsquo Shamsul Azhar Abbas for the next in a series of negotiations to enable the project to reach a final investment commitment Ruth Liao

Indian-Japanese joint buyers consider swapsA joint LNG purchasing agreement between Indiarsquos GAIL and Japanese utility Chubu Electric could include LNG swaps between the compa-nies GAIL managing director Bhuwan Chan-dra Tripathi said on 6 November The two firms are now in ldquoadvanced stages of discussionsrdquo regarding the memorandum of understanding they entered into in March 2014 Tripathi said during a panel discussion at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
A joint venture would allow them to ne-gotiate prices with LNG producers as a team and allow for swapping cargoes to better meet demand obligations Tripathi said
LNG buyers across Asia are exploring joint buying of gas as a way to possibly cut procurement costs Chubu Electric besides the GAIL alliance talks is also talking to Singapore-based Pavilion Energy
Although such a strategy might work for buyers in one market ndash such as the buying alliance Chubu and Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) announced last month ndash LNG alliances join-ing buyers in different countries with different domestic market conditions would have less chance for success said Jonathan Stern senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies ldquoI can understand the case for the Japanese but find it difficult to understand one for two end-users in two different marketsrdquo
Osaka Gas Japanrsquos second-largest natural gas utility said on 5 November it also is in talks to join the fuel buyersrsquo alliance TEPCO and Chubu Electric formed last month local media reported
Osaka Gas is the latest Japanese company to seek a joint venture to buy LNG in the world market It would add its demand to the alliance which would already be the worldrsquos largest Ben Lefebvre

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy

Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors
NGLs are separated at natural gas pro-cessing plants As a valuable feedstock for

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

half of November shipbrokers said The 160000cbm Lobito is still open once it dis-charges its Bonny-sourced cargo in Brazil on behalf of Total in mid-November although prospective charter interest is understood to be firming The diesel electric vessel is thought to be valued in the low-$70000sday though this could not be confirmed One of two other similar vessels open in the Atlantic in Novem-ber is being offered in the $80000sday
The Lobitorsquos sister vessel the 160000cbm Soyo is understood to shortly start a 90-day charter with UK-based BG Group The transaction is thought to have occurred around mid-October and would allow for a November cargo lifting In the meantime the 160000cbm Cubal subchartered by RWE has lifted a Spanish reload
Mid-term charter talks to set markerWest African producer Nigeria LNG (NLNG) is said to have rejected prices in its one-year charter tender above the $63000day mark
Following the close of a week-long tender window for up to five diesel electric ships on 15 October numerous shipowners have been told that ideas in the mid-$65000day were too expensive ICIS understands
Shipowners are factoring in the perceived values from security of employment over a bearish 12-month outlook However ship-owners are also aware that NLNG would be in a position to pay more than a trader on a comparable time horizon
ldquoWith NLNG there will be no idle time so they donrsquot mind paying a premium With traders sometimes you want a lower rate to compensate for idle time between bidding for volumesrdquo one shipbroker said

GAIL enters final negotiations for US Sabine Pass FOB saleindian gas network operator GAIL is understood to have short-listed three com-panies for the sale of its 1mtpa US Sabine Pass LNG volumes which are being marketed on a free on board (FOB) basis for a five-year period
Multiple parties could gain tranches of the 1mtpa on offer with an award likely between the end of November and mid-December Germany-headquartered utility EON a trading house and an Asian company have all made it onto the shortlist ICIS un-derstands
Several participants including two Switzerland-based trading houses and Rus-siarsquos Gazprom were understood to have had advanced sales discussions with GAIL although Gazprom would not have made it to the final three
The value of the entire 1mtpa volumes for the five-year period is estimated at $25bn
The potential bid level from market par-ticipants for the Sabine Pass volumes was previously understood to be $100-150MMBtu above GAILrsquos contract price However the exact bid price could not be confirmed with GAIL
The remaining 25mtpa Sabine Pass LNG volumes will be sold to Indian companies for use in the domestic market an industry source said
GAIL secured 35mtpa of volumes through a 20-year long-term contract from US-based Chenierersquos plant in Louisiana
The Indian company agreed a purchase price of 115 of the US Henry Hub natural gas futuresrsquo price plus a $300MMBtu lique-faction fee on an FOB basis
The construction of the Sabine Pass plantrsquos train 4 is 50 completed and volumes from this are likely to start flowing in the first quar-ter of 2018 a market source said
Cheniere had estimated that the Sabine Pass plantrsquos trains 3 and 4 which are con-tracted to South Korearsquos KOGAS and GAIL respectively would come on line sometime between 2016 and 2017 Trains 1 and 2 are marketed to UK-based BG Group and Spainrsquos Gas Natural Fenosa
GAIL is still planning to set up an LNG trading desk in Singapore by 2017 before the Sabine Pass volumes start flowing
ldquoFOB volumes from US projects will be actively traded from Singaporerdquo a source close to the process said Ranjana Kaushal
Shellrsquos LNG Canada finalises electricity rate with BC Hydro Shellrsquos planned 12mtpa LNG Canada ex-port project in British Columbia has secured electricity rates with the province-run BC Hydro the province announced on 4 Novem-ber
This gives Shell a first-mover advantage in a province still determining how to provide adequate supply to the proposed export projects Royal Dutch Shell is the operator of the proposed Kitimat project along with Chinarsquos PetroChina South Korean gas com-pany KOGAS and Japanese trading company Mitsubishi
BC Hydro set the rate with the Shell-led consortium at (Canadian) $8302megawatt hour (MWh) before taxes
The rate for LNG customers will then increase by 2 each year until 2024 after which the rate will stay constant In compari-son the average rate for a non-LNG industrial user will be $5434MWh which will stay constant until a gradual ramp-up after the expansion costs are covered
BC Hydro forecast that 3000GWyear of electricity would be required for the proposed LNG projects although the utility has not ac-counted for a set number of projects given that none of the planned Western Canadian projects have reached final investment
The announcement by BC Hydro is anoth-er step forward for western Canadian project participants to determine costs
However BC Hydro would likely have to acquire new generation should another LNG project commit to a rate with the utility Min-ister of Mines and Energy Bill Bennett told members of the press on 4 November
Projects proposed in the Prince Rupert area would be even more pressed to secure
electricity from BC Hydro given that there would not be sufficient transmission in place
LNG projects could use internal gas-fired generation for electricity use or come up with an array of renewable energy other than hy-dro such as wind
Shellrsquos benefit in securing BC Hydro rates early on will likely cascade to the projectrsquos overall target to reduce emissions The prov-ince also recently established in late October strict carbon emission targets for the export project of 016 carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) tonnes per tonne of LNG produced Globally LNG facilities have emissions intensi-ties of 018CO2eLNG tonne and 027CO2eLNG tonne the province estimated
Local PNW stakeholders hold back Aside from securing electricity planning western Canadian export projects must still gain acceptance among the First Nations in the province in order to gain full right-of-way passage Some projects such as Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS and its Pacific NorthWest LNG venture have faced more difficult approvals from First Nations due to initial site designs and use of the marine channels near the site on Lelu Island
On 5 November a consortium of First Nations issued a statement condemning the proposed 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest LNG project citing concerns in potential damage to salmon habitats and being left out of the consultation process
The statement represented the Wetrsquosuwetrsquoen Gitanyow First Nation Lake Babine Nation and Gitxsan Nation

The marketing consortium for Chilersquos Quintero LNG import terminal has issued an open season call-of-interest round for companies seeking to take new capacity made available through a terminal expansion programme
GNL Chile the consortium which repre-sents the Quintero terminalrsquos existing three offtakers ndash power generator Endesa Chile Chilean state refiner ENAP and local gas dis-tributor Metrogas ndash announced the launch of the open season on 4 November
The company expects the process to last approximately a year with the aim of finalis-ing new offtake contracts by the end of 2015
Work is then expected to begin on the expansion project in 2016 enabling the start of new contracts in 2019 a source within Chile told ICIS
The installation of a new storage tank at the facility and a fourth vaporising unit is ex-pected to add 5 million cubic metres (mcm)day in additional capacity taking total send out capacity to 20mcmday (just over 5mtpa) by 2019 A total of 32mcmday in regasifica-tion capacity will be made available through the open season round
Companies based both in Chile and internationally will be able to make offers in the open season although Quinterorsquos current offtakers will not be able to participate said a source within Chile
Offers will be considered based on the commitment to take a minimum of 06mcmday Contract terms of 10 15 and 20 years will be considered through the open season round ICIS understands
An additional 18mcmday in capacity made available through the expansion stage has been reserved by GNL Chile and can be offered either to the existing offtakers or new entrants outside the open season process at a later date
Government supportThe 32mcmday offered through the open season represents the amount Chilersquos government promised to make available to new market entrants through its latest energy policy announced in May this year
Energy minister Maximo Pacheco an-nounced that the government would seek to extend the use of imported natural gas through the country enforcing open access
rights at the countryrsquos existing two terminals ndash Quintero and Mejillones in the north ndash as well as promoting the development of a third regasification facility in the south of the country
Managers at the Quintero terminal have also been focused on finalising the installa-tion of a new vaporising unit at the terminal which will expand capacity from 10mcmday to 15mcmday from early next year
Capacity will remain divided between the three current offtakers when the first expan-sion stage comes online
Power generators on Chilersquos SIC power grid such as Colbun and AES Gener are expected to lead domestic interest in the open season tender The companies currently purchase regasified LNG volumes from the terminalrsquos existing offtakers and in 2012 announced plans to build a second import terminal in the Quintero bay region
The parties awarded a contract for the provision of a floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) to Norwegian shipbuilder Hoegh in September 2012 however pro-gress on the project has since ground to a halt

Turkey could establish a thriving LNG-for-trucks business as the country is in the process of expanding its existing capacities and export volumes to neighbouring Greece and Bulgaria a source at the Turkish gas in-cumbent BOTAS told ICIS
Turkeyrsquos current capacity at the privately owned Aliaga LNG terminal is 50 trucksday and approximately 75 trucks at the BOTAS-operated Marmara LNG terminal Hizir Hakan Unal gas specialist at BOTAS said
However their combined capacities could increase to 200 trucksday with each truck able to carry almost 60 cubic metres of lique-fied natural gas
Unal who has recently published a report titled ldquoThird Party Access to Turkeyrsquos natural gas transmission system 2007-2013rdquo said Turkish gas companies were interested in this niche business not only for the domestic market but also for exports to Greece and Bulgaria
The two EU countries could be ideal mar-kets for Turkey given the existence of a num-ber of industries currently using heating oil propane or gasoil as feedstock that would benefit from switching to cheaper and more
environmentally friendly natural gas Industries that are isolated from natural
gas pipelines are increasingly turning to trucked LNG across all four corners of Europe
The wider trucking industry itself is emerging as a new source of demand with recent developments promoting LNG as a transportation fuel
The European Commission has proposed that by 2020 LNG refuelling stations for trucks are to be installed every 400km along roads of the Trans European Core Network Two such arteries run up to the border that Turkey shares with Greece and Bulgaria
In an interview with ICIS Michael Thomadakis a member of the board at the Greek regulator RAE said there was no legal obstacle to such a trade as far as Greece was concerned
He said RAE had been on the verge of granting a license to a company which had asked to import LNG in trucks from Turkey but the application was unsuccessful because the applicant could not prove its financial vi-ability

Keppel signs 1mtpa HoA with PetronasSingapore-based Keppel Gas a fully-owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings has signed a 10-year 1mtpa heads of agreement (HoA) purchase deal with Malaysiarsquos incumbent oil and gas producer Petronas the company said on 4 November
The agreement would supplement two existing pipeline gas deals under which Kep-pel purchases gas from Malaysia
It is contingent on Keppel Gas receiving an LNG import license and regulatory approv-al from Singaporersquos Energy Market Authority
The LNG supplies will be sourced from Petronasrsquo global portfolio
ldquoThis is another of many steps that Kep-pel has committed over the last decade and more to support our governmentrsquos efforts to improve the competitiveness of energy sup-plies to Singaporerdquo said Ong Tiong Guan the CEO of Keppel Infrastructure
Industry sources in Singapore said the deal is likely to be indexed to crude oil One source added that the price of LNG is likely to be above what Keppel Gas pays for pipeline deliveries from Malaysia
Keppel Infrastructure operates a 1300MW combined cycle gas fired power plant in Jurong Island in Singapore
The company signed a gas supply agree-ment with Petronas back in 2005 Under that agreement up to 115 million cubic feet (33 million cubic metres)day of natural gas are delivered to Singapore for a period of ap-proximately 18 years starting mid-2006
Additional gas sales from Petronas to Singapore could mean that Keppel expects to see additional domestic demand or has found downstream customers for the volumes The pipeline delivering gas from Malaysia is also connected with Indonesia This could poten-tially allow Keppel and Petronas to balance their LNG contract via pipeline gas
Keppel Gas has also a gas supply contract with US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil which started in 2009 Under this contract Keppel delivers gas to ExxonMobilrsquos petro-chemical complex in Jurong Island Roman Kazmin
Decision delays for Rosneftrsquos Pechora LNG plant in NenetsThe proposed 52 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Pechora LNG project in the Nenets autonomous district of Russia will not have a finalised commercial structure until the end of 2014 ICIS understands
The project is operated by independent Russian oil and gas holding Alltech which in May signed an agreement with Russiarsquos incumbent oil producer Rosneft to create a joint venture
The structure was supposed to be final-ised on 1 September 2014 according to a statement issued in May by Rosneft
Pechora LNG was not granted an LNG export license in a decision by the Russian government that came after the initial May announcement It could still export LNG on the basis of a license held by Rosneft How-ever Rosneft has gained a strong bargaining position with Alltech group on the back of the legislative decision
Rosneft has faced sanctions from the United States on the back of Russiarsquos involve-ment in the conflict in Ukraine
This has left the company with limited op-tions of raising finance It has turned to the Russian government for assistance request-ing a loan from the National Wealth Fund
The cost of Pechora LNG is estimated at $53bn-66bn
Rosneftrsquos limited capacity to raise finance on certain markets could have led the compa-ny to reconsider its priorities It is developing the Far East LNG project on Russiarsquos Sakhalin island together with the US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil
The capital-intensive project is further advanced than Pechora LNG as its resource base is already producing sufficient volumes of gas
ldquoPechora LNG is still in the very early stages The location of the project is also chal-lenging I think that Rosneft has other priori-ties particularly with recent softness on crude marketsrdquo an industry source in Russia said
Rosneft which relies primarily on profits driven by crude exports from Russia is facing a dramatically different economic environ-ment compared with May
Brent crude has fallen to below $85bbl compared to over $100bbl earlier this year
Coupled with ongoing sanctions Rosneft could choose to delay the project until the economics become more viable both in terms of crude-indexed LNG sales and the cost of financing Roman Kazmin

Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021
divert volumes to the south west for LNG ex-portsrdquo Pemex gas and petrochemical director Alejandro Martinez told ICIS
Pemexrsquos original plans focused on the use of floating LNG technology(see GLM 16 July 2014) However the company is now leaning towards the construction of an onshore facil-ity Martinez added
PartnersPemex is unlikely to be able to develop the project on its own sources close to the development told ICIS previously and is open to keeping only a minority stake in the venture Conversations over a future partnership have already been held with at least one existing global LNG supplier ICIS understands
Plans for a tolling mechanism for offtak-ers could be announced as early as next year according to De la Huerta Prices at which gas will be sold by Pemex will likely be regulated by Mexicorsquos energy regulatory commission CRE under regulations established through Mexicorsquos new energy reforms
Several other export projects have been proposed for Mexicorsquos Pacific coast US-based utility Sempra has spoken previously about its desire to convert its existing Costa Azul LNG terminal on the Baja California peninsula into a liquefaction facility with the aim of sending US-produced shale gas into northeast Asian markets
Sempra is currently conducting gas stud-ies to consider the size structure and eco-nomics of a potential export facility Semprarsquos chief executive officer Debra Reed said during the third-quarter 2014 earnings presentation on 4 November
The company has received strong interest from potential offtakers for Costa Azul Reed added although the impact on contracts with Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE must also still be considered The import contract ndash which ends in 2028 ndash brings in about $150m in cash flow a year Reed said
ldquoWe should have a better sense of these factors and potential timing in the first half of next yearrdquo Reed said James Fowler Ruth Liao
Hoegh EGAS sign 2015 time charter contractNorwegian-based ship owner Hoegh LNG said on Monday it had signed a five-year time charter contract with Egyptrsquos EGAS that will start by the end of the first quarter of 2015
The contract refers to the delivery of a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) vessel which would help deliver gas to Egyptrsquos chronically short domestic market
The newbuild 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Hoegh Gallant has been undertaking sea trials around South Korea over the last few months amid reports of ongoing delays to its potential employment as the planned Egyp-tian import terminal and uncertainty over contract details
The vessel was originally due to be deliv-ered into Egyptrsquos Ain Sokhna in August but this was later put back to December Hoegh
said it is considering how it could utilise the vessel as an LNG carrier before it is delivered to the Egyptian port
Hoegh said the FSRU contract is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA (earn-ings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) of $40m This would equate to a daily fee of around $110000 based on a 365-dayyear utilisation of the vessel However with additional operating costs estimated to be $20000day according to one ship analyst the total charter hire would be closer to $130000day
The media has been full of reports of ru-moured LNG supply deals into Egypt A story from the local press on 1 November cited a government official saying previous agree-ments with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Algeriarsquos Sonatrach were not binding Stories appear
almost daily from Egypt over the cuts in gas supply to the power grid and to industrial users
LNG exports from the countryrsquos two lique-faction plants have all but ceased due to the lack of available feedgas
Ongoing negotiations over how to develop further import infrastructure are focused on pipe links to the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan gas fields
Hoegh on 4 November also said it was awarded an FSRU contract by Colombian Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) for a new LNG import terminal in Cartagena on the Atlantic coast
The contract is subject to SPEC obtain-ing necessary environmental licenses for the project which is expected to start operations mid-2016 Hoegh said Edward Cox

Final investment was initially planned to be reached in late 2014 as the PETRONAS-led project has publicly placed pressure
on the BC provincial government to pass favourable terms on a separate LNG royalty tax
Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman is scheduled to meet with PETRONAS chief executive officer Tan Sri Datorsquo Shamsul Azhar Abbas for the next in a series of negotiations to enable the project to reach a final investment commitment Ruth Liao

Indian-Japanese joint buyers consider swapsA joint LNG purchasing agreement between Indiarsquos GAIL and Japanese utility Chubu Electric could include LNG swaps between the compa-nies GAIL managing director Bhuwan Chan-dra Tripathi said on 6 November The two firms are now in ldquoadvanced stages of discussionsrdquo regarding the memorandum of understanding they entered into in March 2014 Tripathi said during a panel discussion at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
A joint venture would allow them to ne-gotiate prices with LNG producers as a team and allow for swapping cargoes to better meet demand obligations Tripathi said
LNG buyers across Asia are exploring joint buying of gas as a way to possibly cut procurement costs Chubu Electric besides the GAIL alliance talks is also talking to Singapore-based Pavilion Energy
Although such a strategy might work for buyers in one market ndash such as the buying alliance Chubu and Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) announced last month ndash LNG alliances join-ing buyers in different countries with different domestic market conditions would have less chance for success said Jonathan Stern senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies ldquoI can understand the case for the Japanese but find it difficult to understand one for two end-users in two different marketsrdquo
Osaka Gas Japanrsquos second-largest natural gas utility said on 5 November it also is in talks to join the fuel buyersrsquo alliance TEPCO and Chubu Electric formed last month local media reported
Osaka Gas is the latest Japanese company to seek a joint venture to buy LNG in the world market It would add its demand to the alliance which would already be the worldrsquos largest Ben Lefebvre

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors
NGLs are separated at natural gas pro-cessing plants As a valuable feedstock for

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

GAIL enters final negotiations for US Sabine Pass FOB saleindian gas network operator GAIL is understood to have short-listed three com-panies for the sale of its 1mtpa US Sabine Pass LNG volumes which are being marketed on a free on board (FOB) basis for a five-year period
Multiple parties could gain tranches of the 1mtpa on offer with an award likely between the end of November and mid-December Germany-headquartered utility EON a trading house and an Asian company have all made it onto the shortlist ICIS un-derstands
Several participants including two Switzerland-based trading houses and Rus-siarsquos Gazprom were understood to have had advanced sales discussions with GAIL although Gazprom would not have made it to the final three
The value of the entire 1mtpa volumes for the five-year period is estimated at $25bn
The potential bid level from market par-ticipants for the Sabine Pass volumes was previously understood to be $100-150MMBtu above GAILrsquos contract price However the exact bid price could not be confirmed with GAIL
The remaining 25mtpa Sabine Pass LNG volumes will be sold to Indian companies for use in the domestic market an industry source said
GAIL secured 35mtpa of volumes through a 20-year long-term contract from US-based Chenierersquos plant in Louisiana
The Indian company agreed a purchase price of 115 of the US Henry Hub natural gas futuresrsquo price plus a $300MMBtu lique-faction fee on an FOB basis
The construction of the Sabine Pass plantrsquos train 4 is 50 completed and volumes from this are likely to start flowing in the first quar-ter of 2018 a market source said
Cheniere had estimated that the Sabine Pass plantrsquos trains 3 and 4 which are con-tracted to South Korearsquos KOGAS and GAIL respectively would come on line sometime between 2016 and 2017 Trains 1 and 2 are marketed to UK-based BG Group and Spainrsquos Gas Natural Fenosa
GAIL is still planning to set up an LNG trading desk in Singapore by 2017 before the Sabine Pass volumes start flowing
ldquoFOB volumes from US projects will be actively traded from Singaporerdquo a source close to the process said Ranjana Kaushal
Shellrsquos LNG Canada finalises electricity rate with BC Hydro Shellrsquos planned 12mtpa LNG Canada ex-port project in British Columbia has secured electricity rates with the province-run BC Hydro the province announced on 4 Novem-ber
This gives Shell a first-mover advantage in a province still determining how to provide adequate supply to the proposed export projects Royal Dutch Shell is the operator of the proposed Kitimat project along with Chinarsquos PetroChina South Korean gas com-pany KOGAS and Japanese trading company Mitsubishi
BC Hydro set the rate with the Shell-led consortium at (Canadian) $8302megawatt hour (MWh) before taxes
The rate for LNG customers will then increase by 2 each year until 2024 after which the rate will stay constant In compari-son the average rate for a non-LNG industrial user will be $5434MWh which will stay constant until a gradual ramp-up after the expansion costs are covered
BC Hydro forecast that 3000GWyear of electricity would be required for the proposed LNG projects although the utility has not ac-counted for a set number of projects given that none of the planned Western Canadian projects have reached final investment
The announcement by BC Hydro is anoth-er step forward for western Canadian project participants to determine costs
However BC Hydro would likely have to acquire new generation should another LNG project commit to a rate with the utility Min-ister of Mines and Energy Bill Bennett told members of the press on 4 November
Projects proposed in the Prince Rupert area would be even more pressed to secure
electricity from BC Hydro given that there would not be sufficient transmission in place
LNG projects could use internal gas-fired generation for electricity use or come up with an array of renewable energy other than hy-dro such as wind
Shellrsquos benefit in securing BC Hydro rates early on will likely cascade to the projectrsquos overall target to reduce emissions The prov-ince also recently established in late October strict carbon emission targets for the export project of 016 carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) tonnes per tonne of LNG produced Globally LNG facilities have emissions intensi-ties of 018CO2eLNG tonne and 027CO2eLNG tonne the province estimated
Local PNW stakeholders hold back Aside from securing electricity planning western Canadian export projects must still gain acceptance among the First Nations in the province in order to gain full right-of-way passage Some projects such as Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS and its Pacific NorthWest LNG venture have faced more difficult approvals from First Nations due to initial site designs and use of the marine channels near the site on Lelu Island
On 5 November a consortium of First Nations issued a statement condemning the proposed 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest LNG project citing concerns in potential damage to salmon habitats and being left out of the consultation process
The statement represented the Wetrsquosuwetrsquoen Gitanyow First Nation Lake Babine Nation and Gitxsan Nation

The marketing consortium for Chilersquos Quintero LNG import terminal has issued an open season call-of-interest round for companies seeking to take new capacity made available through a terminal expansion programme
GNL Chile the consortium which repre-sents the Quintero terminalrsquos existing three offtakers ndash power generator Endesa Chile Chilean state refiner ENAP and local gas dis-tributor Metrogas ndash announced the launch of the open season on 4 November
The company expects the process to last approximately a year with the aim of finalis-ing new offtake contracts by the end of 2015
Work is then expected to begin on the expansion project in 2016 enabling the start of new contracts in 2019 a source within Chile told ICIS
The installation of a new storage tank at the facility and a fourth vaporising unit is ex-pected to add 5 million cubic metres (mcm)day in additional capacity taking total send out capacity to 20mcmday (just over 5mtpa) by 2019 A total of 32mcmday in regasifica-tion capacity will be made available through the open season round
Companies based both in Chile and internationally will be able to make offers in the open season although Quinterorsquos current offtakers will not be able to participate said a source within Chile
Offers will be considered based on the commitment to take a minimum of 06mcmday Contract terms of 10 15 and 20 years will be considered through the open season round ICIS understands
An additional 18mcmday in capacity made available through the expansion stage has been reserved by GNL Chile and can be offered either to the existing offtakers or new entrants outside the open season process at a later date
Government supportThe 32mcmday offered through the open season represents the amount Chilersquos government promised to make available to new market entrants through its latest energy policy announced in May this year
Energy minister Maximo Pacheco an-nounced that the government would seek to extend the use of imported natural gas through the country enforcing open access
rights at the countryrsquos existing two terminals ndash Quintero and Mejillones in the north ndash as well as promoting the development of a third regasification facility in the south of the country
Managers at the Quintero terminal have also been focused on finalising the installa-tion of a new vaporising unit at the terminal which will expand capacity from 10mcmday to 15mcmday from early next year
Capacity will remain divided between the three current offtakers when the first expan-sion stage comes online
Power generators on Chilersquos SIC power grid such as Colbun and AES Gener are expected to lead domestic interest in the open season tender The companies currently purchase regasified LNG volumes from the terminalrsquos existing offtakers and in 2012 announced plans to build a second import terminal in the Quintero bay region
The parties awarded a contract for the provision of a floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) to Norwegian shipbuilder Hoegh in September 2012 however pro-gress on the project has since ground to a halt

Turkey could establish a thriving LNG-for-trucks business as the country is in the process of expanding its existing capacities and export volumes to neighbouring Greece and Bulgaria a source at the Turkish gas in-cumbent BOTAS told ICIS
Turkeyrsquos current capacity at the privately owned Aliaga LNG terminal is 50 trucksday and approximately 75 trucks at the BOTAS-operated Marmara LNG terminal Hizir Hakan Unal gas specialist at BOTAS said
However their combined capacities could increase to 200 trucksday with each truck able to carry almost 60 cubic metres of lique-fied natural gas
Unal who has recently published a report titled ldquoThird Party Access to Turkeyrsquos natural gas transmission system 2007-2013rdquo said Turkish gas companies were interested in this niche business not only for the domestic market but also for exports to Greece and Bulgaria
The two EU countries could be ideal mar-kets for Turkey given the existence of a num-ber of industries currently using heating oil propane or gasoil as feedstock that would benefit from switching to cheaper and more
environmentally friendly natural gas Industries that are isolated from natural
gas pipelines are increasingly turning to trucked LNG across all four corners of Europe
The wider trucking industry itself is emerging as a new source of demand with recent developments promoting LNG as a transportation fuel
The European Commission has proposed that by 2020 LNG refuelling stations for trucks are to be installed every 400km along roads of the Trans European Core Network Two such arteries run up to the border that Turkey shares with Greece and Bulgaria
In an interview with ICIS Michael Thomadakis a member of the board at the Greek regulator RAE said there was no legal obstacle to such a trade as far as Greece was concerned
He said RAE had been on the verge of granting a license to a company which had asked to import LNG in trucks from Turkey but the application was unsuccessful because the applicant could not prove its financial vi-ability
ldquoThere is no problem to import gas on trucks or otherwise from Turkey ❯❯ Page 13
Keppel signs 1mtpa HoA with PetronasSingapore-based Keppel Gas a fully-owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings has signed a 10-year 1mtpa heads of agreement (HoA) purchase deal with Malaysiarsquos incumbent oil and gas producer Petronas the company said on 4 November
The agreement would supplement two existing pipeline gas deals under which Kep-pel purchases gas from Malaysia
It is contingent on Keppel Gas receiving an LNG import license and regulatory approv-al from Singaporersquos Energy Market Authority
The LNG supplies will be sourced from Petronasrsquo global portfolio
ldquoThis is another of many steps that Kep-pel has committed over the last decade and more to support our governmentrsquos efforts to improve the competitiveness of energy sup-plies to Singaporerdquo said Ong Tiong Guan the CEO of Keppel Infrastructure
Industry sources in Singapore said the deal is likely to be indexed to crude oil One source added that the price of LNG is likely to be above what Keppel Gas pays for pipeline deliveries from Malaysia
Keppel Infrastructure operates a 1300MW combined cycle gas fired power plant in Jurong Island in Singapore
The company signed a gas supply agree-ment with Petronas back in 2005 Under that agreement up to 115 million cubic feet (33 million cubic metres)day of natural gas are delivered to Singapore for a period of ap-proximately 18 years starting mid-2006
Additional gas sales from Petronas to Singapore could mean that Keppel expects to see additional domestic demand or has found downstream customers for the volumes The pipeline delivering gas from Malaysia is also connected with Indonesia This could poten-tially allow Keppel and Petronas to balance their LNG contract via pipeline gas
Keppel Gas has also a gas supply contract with US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil which started in 2009 Under this contract Keppel delivers gas to ExxonMobilrsquos petro-chemical complex in Jurong Island Roman Kazmin
Decision delays for Rosneftrsquos Pechora LNG plant in NenetsThe proposed 52 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Pechora LNG project in the Nenets autonomous district of Russia will not have a finalised commercial structure until the end of 2014 ICIS understands
The project is operated by independent Russian oil and gas holding Alltech which in May signed an agreement with Russiarsquos incumbent oil producer Rosneft to create a joint venture
The structure was supposed to be final-ised on 1 September 2014 according to a statement issued in May by Rosneft
Pechora LNG was not granted an LNG export license in a decision by the Russian government that came after the initial May announcement It could still export LNG on the basis of a license held by Rosneft How-ever Rosneft has gained a strong bargaining position with Alltech group on the back of the legislative decision
Rosneft has faced sanctions from the United States on the back of Russiarsquos involve-ment in the conflict in Ukraine
This has left the company with limited op-tions of raising finance It has turned to the Russian government for assistance request-ing a loan from the National Wealth Fund
The cost of Pechora LNG is estimated at $53bn-66bn
Rosneftrsquos limited capacity to raise finance on certain markets could have led the compa-ny to reconsider its priorities It is developing the Far East LNG project on Russiarsquos Sakhalin island together with the US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil
The capital-intensive project is further advanced than Pechora LNG as its resource base is already producing sufficient volumes of gas
ldquoPechora LNG is still in the very early stages The location of the project is also chal-lenging I think that Rosneft has other priori-ties particularly with recent softness on crude marketsrdquo an industry source in Russia said
Rosneft which relies primarily on profits driven by crude exports from Russia is facing a dramatically different economic environ-ment compared with May
Brent crude has fallen to below $85bbl compared to over $100bbl earlier this year
Coupled with ongoing sanctions Rosneft could choose to delay the project until the economics become more viable both in terms of crude-indexed LNG sales and the cost of financing Roman Kazmin

Colbun has instead focused on taking ca-pacity at the existing terminal firstly through negotiations with the current offtakers in 2013 and then through a possible capacity lending agreement with ENAP in 2014

Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021
divert volumes to the south west for LNG ex-portsrdquo Pemex gas and petrochemical director Alejandro Martinez told ICIS
Pemexrsquos original plans focused on the use of floating LNG technology(see GLM 16 July 2014) However the company is now leaning towards the construction of an onshore facil-ity Martinez added
PartnersPemex is unlikely to be able to develop the project on its own sources close to the development told ICIS previously and is open to keeping only a minority stake in the venture Conversations over a future partnership have already been held with at least one existing global LNG supplier ICIS understands
Plans for a tolling mechanism for offtak-ers could be announced as early as next year according to De la Huerta Prices at which gas will be sold by Pemex will likely be regulated by Mexicorsquos energy regulatory commission CRE under regulations established through Mexicorsquos new energy reforms
Several other export projects have been proposed for Mexicorsquos Pacific coast US-based utility Sempra has spoken previously about its desire to convert its existing Costa Azul LNG terminal on the Baja California peninsula into a liquefaction facility with the aim of sending US-produced shale gas into northeast Asian markets
Sempra is currently conducting gas stud-ies to consider the size structure and eco-nomics of a potential export facility Semprarsquos chief executive officer Debra Reed said during the third-quarter 2014 earnings presentation on 4 November
The company has received strong interest from potential offtakers for Costa Azul Reed added although the impact on contracts with Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE must also still be considered The import contract ndash which ends in 2028 ndash brings in about $150m in cash flow a year Reed said
ldquoWe should have a better sense of these factors and potential timing in the first half of next yearrdquo Reed said James Fowler Ruth Liao
Hoegh EGAS sign 2015 time charter contractNorwegian-based ship owner Hoegh LNG said on Monday it had signed a five-year time charter contract with Egyptrsquos EGAS that will start by the end of the first quarter of 2015
The contract refers to the delivery of a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) vessel which would help deliver gas to Egyptrsquos chronically short domestic market
The newbuild 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Hoegh Gallant has been undertaking sea trials around South Korea over the last few months amid reports of ongoing delays to its potential employment as the planned Egyp-tian import terminal and uncertainty over contract details
The vessel was originally due to be deliv-ered into Egyptrsquos Ain Sokhna in August but this was later put back to December Hoegh
said it is considering how it could utilise the vessel as an LNG carrier before it is delivered to the Egyptian port
Hoegh said the FSRU contract is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA (earn-ings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) of $40m This would equate to a daily fee of around $110000 based on a 365-dayyear utilisation of the vessel However with additional operating costs estimated to be $20000day according to one ship analyst the total charter hire would be closer to $130000day
The media has been full of reports of ru-moured LNG supply deals into Egypt A story from the local press on 1 November cited a government official saying previous agree-ments with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Algeriarsquos Sonatrach were not binding Stories appear
almost daily from Egypt over the cuts in gas supply to the power grid and to industrial users
LNG exports from the countryrsquos two lique-faction plants have all but ceased due to the lack of available feedgas
Ongoing negotiations over how to develop further import infrastructure are focused on pipe links to the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan gas fields
Hoegh on 4 November also said it was awarded an FSRU contract by Colombian Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) for a new LNG import terminal in Cartagena on the Atlantic coast
The contract is subject to SPEC obtain-ing necessary environmental licenses for the project which is expected to start operations mid-2016 Hoegh said Edward Cox

Final investment was initially planned to be reached in late 2014 as the PETRONAS-led project has publicly placed pressure
on the BC provincial government to pass favourable terms on a separate LNG royalty tax
Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman is scheduled to meet with PETRONAS chief executive officer Tan Sri Datorsquo Shamsul Azhar Abbas for the next in a series of negotiations to enable the project to reach a final investment commitment Ruth Liao

Indian-Japanese joint buyers consider swapsA joint LNG purchasing agreement between Indiarsquos GAIL and Japanese utility Chubu Electric could include LNG swaps between the compa-nies GAIL managing director Bhuwan Chan-dra Tripathi said on 6 November The two firms are now in ldquoadvanced stages of discussionsrdquo regarding the memorandum of understanding they entered into in March 2014 Tripathi said during a panel discussion at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
A joint venture would allow them to ne-gotiate prices with LNG producers as a team and allow for swapping cargoes to better meet demand obligations Tripathi said
LNG buyers across Asia are exploring joint buying of gas as a way to possibly cut procurement costs Chubu Electric besides the GAIL alliance talks is also talking to Singapore-based Pavilion Energy
Although such a strategy might work for buyers in one market ndash such as the buying alliance Chubu and Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) announced last month ndash LNG alliances join-ing buyers in different countries with different domestic market conditions would have less chance for success said Jonathan Stern senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies ldquoI can understand the case for the Japanese but find it difficult to understand one for two end-users in two different marketsrdquo
Osaka Gas Japanrsquos second-largest natural gas utility said on 5 November it also is in talks to join the fuel buyersrsquo alliance TEPCO and Chubu Electric formed last month local media reported
Osaka Gas is the latest Japanese company to seek a joint venture to buy LNG in the world market It would add its demand to the alliance which would already be the worldrsquos largest Ben Lefebvre

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

GAIL enters final negotiations for US Sabine Pass FOB saleindian gas network operator GAIL is understood to have short-listed three com-panies for the sale of its 1mtpa US Sabine Pass LNG volumes which are being marketed on a free on board (FOB) basis for a five-year period
Multiple parties could gain tranches of the 1mtpa on offer with an award likely between the end of November and mid-December Germany-headquartered utility EON a trading house and an Asian company have all made it onto the shortlist ICIS un-derstands
Several participants including two Switzerland-based trading houses and Rus-siarsquos Gazprom were understood to have had advanced sales discussions with GAIL although Gazprom would not have made it to the final three
The value of the entire 1mtpa volumes for the five-year period is estimated at $25bn
The potential bid level from market par-ticipants for the Sabine Pass volumes was previously understood to be $100-150MMBtu above GAILrsquos contract price However the exact bid price could not be confirmed with GAIL
The remaining 25mtpa Sabine Pass LNG volumes will be sold to Indian companies for use in the domestic market an industry source said
GAIL secured 35mtpa of volumes through a 20-year long-term contract from US-based Chenierersquos plant in Louisiana
The Indian company agreed a purchase price of 115 of the US Henry Hub natural gas futuresrsquo price plus a $300MMBtu lique-faction fee on an FOB basis
The construction of the Sabine Pass plantrsquos train 4 is 50 completed and volumes from this are likely to start flowing in the first quar-ter of 2018 a market source said
Cheniere had estimated that the Sabine Pass plantrsquos trains 3 and 4 which are con-tracted to South Korearsquos KOGAS and GAIL respectively would come on line sometime between 2016 and 2017 Trains 1 and 2 are marketed to UK-based BG Group and Spainrsquos Gas Natural Fenosa
GAIL is still planning to set up an LNG trading desk in Singapore by 2017 before the Sabine Pass volumes start flowing
ldquoFOB volumes from US projects will be actively traded from Singaporerdquo a source close to the process said Ranjana Kaushal
Shellrsquos LNG Canada finalises electricity rate with BC Hydro Shellrsquos planned 12mtpa LNG Canada ex-port project in British Columbia has secured electricity rates with the province-run BC Hydro the province announced on 4 Novem-ber
This gives Shell a first-mover advantage in a province still determining how to provide adequate supply to the proposed export projects Royal Dutch Shell is the operator of the proposed Kitimat project along with Chinarsquos PetroChina South Korean gas com-pany KOGAS and Japanese trading company Mitsubishi
BC Hydro set the rate with the Shell-led consortium at (Canadian) $8302megawatt hour (MWh) before taxes
The rate for LNG customers will then increase by 2 each year until 2024 after which the rate will stay constant In compari-son the average rate for a non-LNG industrial user will be $5434MWh which will stay constant until a gradual ramp-up after the expansion costs are covered
BC Hydro forecast that 3000GWyear of electricity would be required for the proposed LNG projects although the utility has not ac-counted for a set number of projects given that none of the planned Western Canadian projects have reached final investment
The announcement by BC Hydro is anoth-er step forward for western Canadian project participants to determine costs
However BC Hydro would likely have to acquire new generation should another LNG project commit to a rate with the utility Min-ister of Mines and Energy Bill Bennett told members of the press on 4 November
Projects proposed in the Prince Rupert area would be even more pressed to secure
electricity from BC Hydro given that there would not be sufficient transmission in place
LNG projects could use internal gas-fired generation for electricity use or come up with an array of renewable energy other than hy-dro such as wind
Shellrsquos benefit in securing BC Hydro rates early on will likely cascade to the projectrsquos overall target to reduce emissions The prov-ince also recently established in late October strict carbon emission targets for the export project of 016 carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) tonnes per tonne of LNG produced Globally LNG facilities have emissions intensi-ties of 018CO2eLNG tonne and 027CO2eLNG tonne the province estimated
Local PNW stakeholders hold back Aside from securing electricity planning western Canadian export projects must still gain acceptance among the First Nations in the province in order to gain full right-of-way passage Some projects such as Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS and its Pacific NorthWest LNG venture have faced more difficult approvals from First Nations due to initial site designs and use of the marine channels near the site on Lelu Island
On 5 November a consortium of First Nations issued a statement condemning the proposed 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest LNG project citing concerns in potential damage to salmon habitats and being left out of the consultation process
The statement represented the Wetrsquosuwetrsquoen Gitanyow First Nation Lake Babine Nation and Gitxsan Nation

The marketing consortium for Chilersquos Quintero LNG import terminal has issued an open season call-of-interest round for companies seeking to take new capacity made available through a terminal expansion programme
GNL Chile the consortium which repre-sents the Quintero terminalrsquos existing three offtakers ndash power generator Endesa Chile Chilean state refiner ENAP and local gas dis-tributor Metrogas ndash announced the launch of the open season on 4 November
The company expects the process to last approximately a year with the aim of finalis-ing new offtake contracts by the end of 2015
Work is then expected to begin on the expansion project in 2016 enabling the start of new contracts in 2019 a source within Chile told ICIS
The installation of a new storage tank at the facility and a fourth vaporising unit is ex-pected to add 5 million cubic metres (mcm)day in additional capacity taking total send out capacity to 20mcmday (just over 5mtpa) by 2019 A total of 32mcmday in regasifica-tion capacity will be made available through the open season round
Companies based both in Chile and internationally will be able to make offers in the open season although Quinterorsquos current offtakers will not be able to participate said a source within Chile
Offers will be considered based on the commitment to take a minimum of 06mcmday Contract terms of 10 15 and 20 years will be considered through the open season round ICIS understands
An additional 18mcmday in capacity made available through the expansion stage has been reserved by GNL Chile and can be offered either to the existing offtakers or new entrants outside the open season process at a later date
Government supportThe 32mcmday offered through the open season represents the amount Chilersquos government promised to make available to new market entrants through its latest energy policy announced in May this year
Energy minister Maximo Pacheco an-nounced that the government would seek to extend the use of imported natural gas through the country enforcing open access
rights at the countryrsquos existing two terminals ndash Quintero and Mejillones in the north ndash as well as promoting the development of a third regasification facility in the south of the country
Managers at the Quintero terminal have also been focused on finalising the installa-tion of a new vaporising unit at the terminal which will expand capacity from 10mcmday to 15mcmday from early next year
Capacity will remain divided between the three current offtakers when the first expan-sion stage comes online
Power generators on Chilersquos SIC power grid such as Colbun and AES Gener are expected to lead domestic interest in the open season tender The companies currently purchase regasified LNG volumes from the terminalrsquos existing offtakers and in 2012 announced plans to build a second import terminal in the Quintero bay region
The parties awarded a contract for the provision of a floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) to Norwegian shipbuilder Hoegh in September 2012 however pro-gress on the project has since ground to a halt

Turkey could establish a thriving LNG-for-trucks business as the country is in the process of expanding its existing capacities and export volumes to neighbouring Greece and Bulgaria a source at the Turkish gas in-cumbent BOTAS told ICIS
Turkeyrsquos current capacity at the privately owned Aliaga LNG terminal is 50 trucksday and approximately 75 trucks at the BOTAS-operated Marmara LNG terminal Hizir Hakan Unal gas specialist at BOTAS said
However their combined capacities could increase to 200 trucksday with each truck able to carry almost 60 cubic metres of lique-fied natural gas
Unal who has recently published a report titled ldquoThird Party Access to Turkeyrsquos natural gas transmission system 2007-2013rdquo said Turkish gas companies were interested in this niche business not only for the domestic market but also for exports to Greece and Bulgaria
The two EU countries could be ideal mar-kets for Turkey given the existence of a num-ber of industries currently using heating oil propane or gasoil as feedstock that would benefit from switching to cheaper and more
environmentally friendly natural gas Industries that are isolated from natural
gas pipelines are increasingly turning to trucked LNG across all four corners of Europe
The wider trucking industry itself is emerging as a new source of demand with recent developments promoting LNG as a transportation fuel
The European Commission has proposed that by 2020 LNG refuelling stations for trucks are to be installed every 400km along roads of the Trans European Core Network Two such arteries run up to the border that Turkey shares with Greece and Bulgaria
In an interview with ICIS Michael Thomadakis a member of the board at the Greek regulator RAE said there was no legal obstacle to such a trade as far as Greece was concerned
He said RAE had been on the verge of granting a license to a company which had asked to import LNG in trucks from Turkey but the application was unsuccessful because the applicant could not prove its financial vi-ability

Keppel signs 1mtpa HoA with PetronasSingapore-based Keppel Gas a fully-owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings has signed a 10-year 1mtpa heads of agreement (HoA) purchase deal with Malaysiarsquos incumbent oil and gas producer Petronas the company said on 4 November
The agreement would supplement two existing pipeline gas deals under which Kep-pel purchases gas from Malaysia
It is contingent on Keppel Gas receiving an LNG import license and regulatory approv-al from Singaporersquos Energy Market Authority
The LNG supplies will be sourced from Petronasrsquo global portfolio
ldquoThis is another of many steps that Kep-pel has committed over the last decade and more to support our governmentrsquos efforts to improve the competitiveness of energy sup-plies to Singaporerdquo said Ong Tiong Guan the CEO of Keppel Infrastructure
Industry sources in Singapore said the deal is likely to be indexed to crude oil One source added that the price of LNG is likely to be above what Keppel Gas pays for pipeline deliveries from Malaysia
Keppel Infrastructure operates a 1300MW combined cycle gas fired power plant in Jurong Island in Singapore
The company signed a gas supply agree-ment with Petronas back in 2005 Under that agreement up to 115 million cubic feet (33 million cubic metres)day of natural gas are delivered to Singapore for a period of ap-proximately 18 years starting mid-2006
Additional gas sales from Petronas to Singapore could mean that Keppel expects to see additional domestic demand or has found downstream customers for the volumes The pipeline delivering gas from Malaysia is also connected with Indonesia This could poten-tially allow Keppel and Petronas to balance their LNG contract via pipeline gas
Keppel Gas has also a gas supply contract with US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil which started in 2009 Under this contract Keppel delivers gas to ExxonMobilrsquos petro-chemical complex in Jurong Island Roman Kazmin
Decision delays for Rosneftrsquos Pechora LNG plant in NenetsThe proposed 52 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Pechora LNG project in the Nenets autonomous district of Russia will not have a finalised commercial structure until the end of 2014 ICIS understands
The project is operated by independent Russian oil and gas holding Alltech which in May signed an agreement with Russiarsquos incumbent oil producer Rosneft to create a joint venture
The structure was supposed to be final-ised on 1 September 2014 according to a statement issued in May by Rosneft
Pechora LNG was not granted an LNG export license in a decision by the Russian government that came after the initial May announcement It could still export LNG on the basis of a license held by Rosneft How-ever Rosneft has gained a strong bargaining position with Alltech group on the back of the legislative decision
Rosneft has faced sanctions from the United States on the back of Russiarsquos involve-ment in the conflict in Ukraine
This has left the company with limited op-tions of raising finance It has turned to the Russian government for assistance request-ing a loan from the National Wealth Fund
The cost of Pechora LNG is estimated at $53bn-66bn
Rosneftrsquos limited capacity to raise finance on certain markets could have led the compa-ny to reconsider its priorities It is developing the Far East LNG project on Russiarsquos Sakhalin island together with the US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil
The capital-intensive project is further advanced than Pechora LNG as its resource base is already producing sufficient volumes of gas
ldquoPechora LNG is still in the very early stages The location of the project is also chal-lenging I think that Rosneft has other priori-ties particularly with recent softness on crude marketsrdquo an industry source in Russia said
Rosneft which relies primarily on profits driven by crude exports from Russia is facing a dramatically different economic environ-ment compared with May
Brent crude has fallen to below $85bbl compared to over $100bbl earlier this year
Coupled with ongoing sanctions Rosneft could choose to delay the project until the economics become more viable both in terms of crude-indexed LNG sales and the cost of financing Roman Kazmin

Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021
divert volumes to the south west for LNG ex-portsrdquo Pemex gas and petrochemical director Alejandro Martinez told ICIS
Pemexrsquos original plans focused on the use of floating LNG technology(see GLM 16 July 2014) However the company is now leaning towards the construction of an onshore facil-ity Martinez added
PartnersPemex is unlikely to be able to develop the project on its own sources close to the development told ICIS previously and is open to keeping only a minority stake in the venture Conversations over a future partnership have already been held with at least one existing global LNG supplier ICIS understands
Plans for a tolling mechanism for offtak-ers could be announced as early as next year according to De la Huerta Prices at which gas will be sold by Pemex will likely be regulated by Mexicorsquos energy regulatory commission CRE under regulations established through Mexicorsquos new energy reforms
Several other export projects have been proposed for Mexicorsquos Pacific coast US-based utility Sempra has spoken previously about its desire to convert its existing Costa Azul LNG terminal on the Baja California peninsula into a liquefaction facility with the aim of sending US-produced shale gas into northeast Asian markets
Sempra is currently conducting gas stud-ies to consider the size structure and eco-nomics of a potential export facility Semprarsquos chief executive officer Debra Reed said during the third-quarter 2014 earnings presentation on 4 November
The company has received strong interest from potential offtakers for Costa Azul Reed added although the impact on contracts with Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE must also still be considered The import contract ndash which ends in 2028 ndash brings in about $150m in cash flow a year Reed said
ldquoWe should have a better sense of these factors and potential timing in the first half of next yearrdquo Reed said James Fowler Ruth Liao
Hoegh EGAS sign 2015 time charter contractNorwegian-based ship owner Hoegh LNG said on Monday it had signed a five-year time charter contract with Egyptrsquos EGAS that will start by the end of the first quarter of 2015
The contract refers to the delivery of a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) vessel which would help deliver gas to Egyptrsquos chronically short domestic market
The newbuild 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Hoegh Gallant has been undertaking sea trials around South Korea over the last few months amid reports of ongoing delays to its potential employment as the planned Egyp-tian import terminal and uncertainty over contract details
The vessel was originally due to be deliv-ered into Egyptrsquos Ain Sokhna in August but this was later put back to December Hoegh
said it is considering how it could utilise the vessel as an LNG carrier before it is delivered to the Egyptian port
Hoegh said the FSRU contract is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA (earn-ings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) of $40m This would equate to a daily fee of around $110000 based on a 365-dayyear utilisation of the vessel However with additional operating costs estimated to be $20000day according to one ship analyst the total charter hire would be closer to $130000day
The media has been full of reports of ru-moured LNG supply deals into Egypt A story from the local press on 1 November cited a government official saying previous agree-ments with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Algeriarsquos Sonatrach were not binding Stories appear
almost daily from Egypt over the cuts in gas supply to the power grid and to industrial users
LNG exports from the countryrsquos two lique-faction plants have all but ceased due to the lack of available feedgas
Ongoing negotiations over how to develop further import infrastructure are focused on pipe links to the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan gas fields
Hoegh on 4 November also said it was awarded an FSRU contract by Colombian Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) for a new LNG import terminal in Cartagena on the Atlantic coast
The contract is subject to SPEC obtain-ing necessary environmental licenses for the project which is expected to start operations mid-2016 Hoegh said Edward Cox

Final investment was initially planned to be reached in late 2014 as the PETRONAS-led project has publicly placed pressure
on the BC provincial government to pass favourable terms on a separate LNG royalty tax
Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman is scheduled to meet with PETRONAS chief executive officer Tan Sri Datorsquo Shamsul Azhar Abbas for the next in a series of negotiations to enable the project to reach a final investment commitment Ruth Liao

Indian-Japanese joint buyers consider swapsA joint LNG purchasing agreement between Indiarsquos GAIL and Japanese utility Chubu Electric could include LNG swaps between the compa-nies GAIL managing director Bhuwan Chan-dra Tripathi said on 6 November The two firms are now in ldquoadvanced stages of discussionsrdquo regarding the memorandum of understanding they entered into in March 2014 Tripathi said during a panel discussion at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
A joint venture would allow them to ne-gotiate prices with LNG producers as a team and allow for swapping cargoes to better meet demand obligations Tripathi said
LNG buyers across Asia are exploring joint buying of gas as a way to possibly cut procurement costs Chubu Electric besides the GAIL alliance talks is also talking to Singapore-based Pavilion Energy
Although such a strategy might work for buyers in one market ndash such as the buying alliance Chubu and Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) announced last month ndash LNG alliances join-ing buyers in different countries with different domestic market conditions would have less chance for success said Jonathan Stern senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies ldquoI can understand the case for the Japanese but find it difficult to understand one for two end-users in two different marketsrdquo
Osaka Gas Japanrsquos second-largest natural gas utility said on 5 November it also is in talks to join the fuel buyersrsquo alliance TEPCO and Chubu Electric formed last month local media reported
Osaka Gas is the latest Japanese company to seek a joint venture to buy LNG in the world market It would add its demand to the alliance which would already be the worldrsquos largest Ben Lefebvre

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors
NGLs are separated at natural gas pro-cessing plants As a valuable feedstock for

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

GAIL enters final negotiations for US Sabine Pass FOB saleindian gas network operator GAIL is understood to have short-listed three com-panies for the sale of its 1mtpa US Sabine Pass LNG volumes which are being marketed on a free on board (FOB) basis for a five-year period
Multiple parties could gain tranches of the 1mtpa on offer with an award likely between the end of November and mid-December Germany-headquartered utility EON a trading house and an Asian company have all made it onto the shortlist ICIS un-derstands
Several participants including two Switzerland-based trading houses and Rus-siarsquos Gazprom were understood to have had advanced sales discussions with GAIL although Gazprom would not have made it to the final three
The value of the entire 1mtpa volumes for the five-year period is estimated at $25bn
The potential bid level from market par-ticipants for the Sabine Pass volumes was previously understood to be $100-150MMBtu above GAILrsquos contract price However the exact bid price could not be confirmed with GAIL
The remaining 25mtpa Sabine Pass LNG volumes will be sold to Indian companies for use in the domestic market an industry source said
GAIL secured 35mtpa of volumes through a 20-year long-term contract from US-based Chenierersquos plant in Louisiana
The Indian company agreed a purchase price of 115 of the US Henry Hub natural gas futuresrsquo price plus a $300MMBtu lique-faction fee on an FOB basis
The construction of the Sabine Pass plantrsquos train 4 is 50 completed and volumes from this are likely to start flowing in the first quar-ter of 2018 a market source said
Cheniere had estimated that the Sabine Pass plantrsquos trains 3 and 4 which are con-tracted to South Korearsquos KOGAS and GAIL respectively would come on line sometime between 2016 and 2017 Trains 1 and 2 are marketed to UK-based BG Group and Spainrsquos Gas Natural Fenosa
GAIL is still planning to set up an LNG trading desk in Singapore by 2017 before the Sabine Pass volumes start flowing
ldquoFOB volumes from US projects will be actively traded from Singaporerdquo a source close to the process said Ranjana Kaushal
Shellrsquos LNG Canada finalises electricity rate with BC Hydro Shellrsquos planned 12mtpa LNG Canada ex-port project in British Columbia has secured electricity rates with the province-run BC Hydro the province announced on 4 Novem-ber
This gives Shell a first-mover advantage in a province still determining how to provide adequate supply to the proposed export projects Royal Dutch Shell is the operator of the proposed Kitimat project along with Chinarsquos PetroChina South Korean gas com-pany KOGAS and Japanese trading company Mitsubishi
BC Hydro set the rate with the Shell-led consortium at (Canadian) $8302megawatt hour (MWh) before taxes
The rate for LNG customers will then increase by 2 each year until 2024 after which the rate will stay constant In compari-son the average rate for a non-LNG industrial user will be $5434MWh which will stay constant until a gradual ramp-up after the expansion costs are covered
BC Hydro forecast that 3000GWyear of electricity would be required for the proposed LNG projects although the utility has not ac-counted for a set number of projects given that none of the planned Western Canadian projects have reached final investment
The announcement by BC Hydro is anoth-er step forward for western Canadian project participants to determine costs
However BC Hydro would likely have to acquire new generation should another LNG project commit to a rate with the utility Min-ister of Mines and Energy Bill Bennett told members of the press on 4 November
Projects proposed in the Prince Rupert area would be even more pressed to secure
electricity from BC Hydro given that there would not be sufficient transmission in place
LNG projects could use internal gas-fired generation for electricity use or come up with an array of renewable energy other than hy-dro such as wind
Shellrsquos benefit in securing BC Hydro rates early on will likely cascade to the projectrsquos overall target to reduce emissions The prov-ince also recently established in late October strict carbon emission targets for the export project of 016 carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) tonnes per tonne of LNG produced Globally LNG facilities have emissions intensi-ties of 018CO2eLNG tonne and 027CO2eLNG tonne the province estimated
Local PNW stakeholders hold back Aside from securing electricity planning western Canadian export projects must still gain acceptance among the First Nations in the province in order to gain full right-of-way passage Some projects such as Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS and its Pacific NorthWest LNG venture have faced more difficult approvals from First Nations due to initial site designs and use of the marine channels near the site on Lelu Island
On 5 November a consortium of First Nations issued a statement condemning the proposed 12mtpa Pacific NorthWest LNG project citing concerns in potential damage to salmon habitats and being left out of the consultation process

The marketing consortium for Chilersquos Quintero LNG import terminal has issued an open season call-of-interest round for companies seeking to take new capacity made available through a terminal expansion programme
GNL Chile the consortium which repre-sents the Quintero terminalrsquos existing three offtakers ndash power generator Endesa Chile Chilean state refiner ENAP and local gas dis-tributor Metrogas ndash announced the launch of the open season on 4 November
The company expects the process to last approximately a year with the aim of finalis-ing new offtake contracts by the end of 2015
Work is then expected to begin on the expansion project in 2016 enabling the start of new contracts in 2019 a source within Chile told ICIS
The installation of a new storage tank at the facility and a fourth vaporising unit is ex-pected to add 5 million cubic metres (mcm)day in additional capacity taking total send out capacity to 20mcmday (just over 5mtpa) by 2019 A total of 32mcmday in regasifica-tion capacity will be made available through the open season round
Companies based both in Chile and internationally will be able to make offers in the open season although Quinterorsquos current offtakers will not be able to participate said a source within Chile
Offers will be considered based on the commitment to take a minimum of 06mcmday Contract terms of 10 15 and 20 years will be considered through the open season round ICIS understands
An additional 18mcmday in capacity made available through the expansion stage has been reserved by GNL Chile and can be offered either to the existing offtakers or new entrants outside the open season process at a later date
Government supportThe 32mcmday offered through the open season represents the amount Chilersquos government promised to make available to new market entrants through its latest energy policy announced in May this year
Energy minister Maximo Pacheco an-nounced that the government would seek to extend the use of imported natural gas through the country enforcing open access
rights at the countryrsquos existing two terminals ndash Quintero and Mejillones in the north ndash as well as promoting the development of a third regasification facility in the south of the country
Managers at the Quintero terminal have also been focused on finalising the installa-tion of a new vaporising unit at the terminal which will expand capacity from 10mcmday to 15mcmday from early next year
Capacity will remain divided between the three current offtakers when the first expan-sion stage comes online
Power generators on Chilersquos SIC power grid such as Colbun and AES Gener are expected to lead domestic interest in the open season tender The companies currently purchase regasified LNG volumes from the terminalrsquos existing offtakers and in 2012 announced plans to build a second import terminal in the Quintero bay region
The parties awarded a contract for the provision of a floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) to Norwegian shipbuilder Hoegh in September 2012 however pro-gress on the project has since ground to a halt

Turkey could establish a thriving LNG-for-trucks business as the country is in the process of expanding its existing capacities and export volumes to neighbouring Greece and Bulgaria a source at the Turkish gas in-cumbent BOTAS told ICIS
Turkeyrsquos current capacity at the privately owned Aliaga LNG terminal is 50 trucksday and approximately 75 trucks at the BOTAS-operated Marmara LNG terminal Hizir Hakan Unal gas specialist at BOTAS said
However their combined capacities could increase to 200 trucksday with each truck able to carry almost 60 cubic metres of lique-fied natural gas
Unal who has recently published a report titled ldquoThird Party Access to Turkeyrsquos natural gas transmission system 2007-2013rdquo said Turkish gas companies were interested in this niche business not only for the domestic market but also for exports to Greece and Bulgaria
The two EU countries could be ideal mar-kets for Turkey given the existence of a num-ber of industries currently using heating oil propane or gasoil as feedstock that would benefit from switching to cheaper and more
environmentally friendly natural gas Industries that are isolated from natural
gas pipelines are increasingly turning to trucked LNG across all four corners of Europe
The wider trucking industry itself is emerging as a new source of demand with recent developments promoting LNG as a transportation fuel
The European Commission has proposed that by 2020 LNG refuelling stations for trucks are to be installed every 400km along roads of the Trans European Core Network Two such arteries run up to the border that Turkey shares with Greece and Bulgaria
In an interview with ICIS Michael Thomadakis a member of the board at the Greek regulator RAE said there was no legal obstacle to such a trade as far as Greece was concerned
He said RAE had been on the verge of granting a license to a company which had asked to import LNG in trucks from Turkey but the application was unsuccessful because the applicant could not prove its financial vi-ability
ldquoThere is no problem to import gas on trucks or otherwise from Turkey ❯❯ Page 13
Keppel signs 1mtpa HoA with PetronasSingapore-based Keppel Gas a fully-owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings has signed a 10-year 1mtpa heads of agreement (HoA) purchase deal with Malaysiarsquos incumbent oil and gas producer Petronas the company said on 4 November
The agreement would supplement two existing pipeline gas deals under which Kep-pel purchases gas from Malaysia
It is contingent on Keppel Gas receiving an LNG import license and regulatory approv-al from Singaporersquos Energy Market Authority
The LNG supplies will be sourced from Petronasrsquo global portfolio
ldquoThis is another of many steps that Kep-pel has committed over the last decade and more to support our governmentrsquos efforts to improve the competitiveness of energy sup-plies to Singaporerdquo said Ong Tiong Guan the CEO of Keppel Infrastructure
Industry sources in Singapore said the deal is likely to be indexed to crude oil One source added that the price of LNG is likely to be above what Keppel Gas pays for pipeline deliveries from Malaysia
Keppel Infrastructure operates a 1300MW combined cycle gas fired power plant in Jurong Island in Singapore
The company signed a gas supply agree-ment with Petronas back in 2005 Under that agreement up to 115 million cubic feet (33 million cubic metres)day of natural gas are delivered to Singapore for a period of ap-proximately 18 years starting mid-2006
Additional gas sales from Petronas to Singapore could mean that Keppel expects to see additional domestic demand or has found downstream customers for the volumes The pipeline delivering gas from Malaysia is also connected with Indonesia This could poten-tially allow Keppel and Petronas to balance their LNG contract via pipeline gas
Keppel Gas has also a gas supply contract with US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil which started in 2009 Under this contract Keppel delivers gas to ExxonMobilrsquos petro-chemical complex in Jurong Island Roman Kazmin
Decision delays for Rosneftrsquos Pechora LNG plant in NenetsThe proposed 52 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Pechora LNG project in the Nenets autonomous district of Russia will not have a finalised commercial structure until the end of 2014 ICIS understands
The project is operated by independent Russian oil and gas holding Alltech which in May signed an agreement with Russiarsquos incumbent oil producer Rosneft to create a joint venture
The structure was supposed to be final-ised on 1 September 2014 according to a statement issued in May by Rosneft
Pechora LNG was not granted an LNG export license in a decision by the Russian government that came after the initial May announcement It could still export LNG on the basis of a license held by Rosneft How-ever Rosneft has gained a strong bargaining position with Alltech group on the back of the legislative decision
Rosneft has faced sanctions from the United States on the back of Russiarsquos involve-ment in the conflict in Ukraine
This has left the company with limited op-tions of raising finance It has turned to the Russian government for assistance request-ing a loan from the National Wealth Fund
The cost of Pechora LNG is estimated at $53bn-66bn
Rosneftrsquos limited capacity to raise finance on certain markets could have led the compa-ny to reconsider its priorities It is developing the Far East LNG project on Russiarsquos Sakhalin island together with the US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil
The capital-intensive project is further advanced than Pechora LNG as its resource base is already producing sufficient volumes of gas
ldquoPechora LNG is still in the very early stages The location of the project is also chal-lenging I think that Rosneft has other priori-ties particularly with recent softness on crude marketsrdquo an industry source in Russia said
Rosneft which relies primarily on profits driven by crude exports from Russia is facing a dramatically different economic environ-ment compared with May
Brent crude has fallen to below $85bbl compared to over $100bbl earlier this year
Coupled with ongoing sanctions Rosneft could choose to delay the project until the economics become more viable both in terms of crude-indexed LNG sales and the cost of financing Roman Kazmin

Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021
divert volumes to the south west for LNG ex-portsrdquo Pemex gas and petrochemical director Alejandro Martinez told ICIS
Pemexrsquos original plans focused on the use of floating LNG technology(see GLM 16 July 2014) However the company is now leaning towards the construction of an onshore facil-ity Martinez added
PartnersPemex is unlikely to be able to develop the project on its own sources close to the development told ICIS previously and is open to keeping only a minority stake in the venture Conversations over a future partnership have already been held with at least one existing global LNG supplier ICIS understands
Plans for a tolling mechanism for offtak-ers could be announced as early as next year according to De la Huerta Prices at which gas will be sold by Pemex will likely be regulated by Mexicorsquos energy regulatory commission CRE under regulations established through Mexicorsquos new energy reforms
Several other export projects have been proposed for Mexicorsquos Pacific coast US-based utility Sempra has spoken previously about its desire to convert its existing Costa Azul LNG terminal on the Baja California peninsula into a liquefaction facility with the aim of sending US-produced shale gas into northeast Asian markets
Sempra is currently conducting gas stud-ies to consider the size structure and eco-nomics of a potential export facility Semprarsquos chief executive officer Debra Reed said during the third-quarter 2014 earnings presentation on 4 November
The company has received strong interest from potential offtakers for Costa Azul Reed added although the impact on contracts with Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE must also still be considered The import contract ndash which ends in 2028 ndash brings in about $150m in cash flow a year Reed said
ldquoWe should have a better sense of these factors and potential timing in the first half of next yearrdquo Reed said James Fowler Ruth Liao
Hoegh EGAS sign 2015 time charter contractNorwegian-based ship owner Hoegh LNG said on Monday it had signed a five-year time charter contract with Egyptrsquos EGAS that will start by the end of the first quarter of 2015
The contract refers to the delivery of a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) vessel which would help deliver gas to Egyptrsquos chronically short domestic market
The newbuild 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Hoegh Gallant has been undertaking sea trials around South Korea over the last few months amid reports of ongoing delays to its potential employment as the planned Egyp-tian import terminal and uncertainty over contract details
The vessel was originally due to be deliv-ered into Egyptrsquos Ain Sokhna in August but this was later put back to December Hoegh
said it is considering how it could utilise the vessel as an LNG carrier before it is delivered to the Egyptian port
Hoegh said the FSRU contract is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA (earn-ings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) of $40m This would equate to a daily fee of around $110000 based on a 365-dayyear utilisation of the vessel However with additional operating costs estimated to be $20000day according to one ship analyst the total charter hire would be closer to $130000day
The media has been full of reports of ru-moured LNG supply deals into Egypt A story from the local press on 1 November cited a government official saying previous agree-ments with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Algeriarsquos Sonatrach were not binding Stories appear
almost daily from Egypt over the cuts in gas supply to the power grid and to industrial users
LNG exports from the countryrsquos two lique-faction plants have all but ceased due to the lack of available feedgas
Ongoing negotiations over how to develop further import infrastructure are focused on pipe links to the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan gas fields
Hoegh on 4 November also said it was awarded an FSRU contract by Colombian Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) for a new LNG import terminal in Cartagena on the Atlantic coast
The contract is subject to SPEC obtain-ing necessary environmental licenses for the project which is expected to start operations mid-2016 Hoegh said Edward Cox

Final investment was initially planned to be reached in late 2014 as the PETRONAS-led project has publicly placed pressure
on the BC provincial government to pass favourable terms on a separate LNG royalty tax
Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman is scheduled to meet with PETRONAS chief executive officer Tan Sri Datorsquo Shamsul Azhar Abbas for the next in a series of negotiations to enable the project to reach a final investment commitment Ruth Liao
Shellrsquos LNG Canada finalises electricity rate
Indian-Japanese joint buyers consider swapsA joint LNG purchasing agreement between Indiarsquos GAIL and Japanese utility Chubu Electric could include LNG swaps between the compa-nies GAIL managing director Bhuwan Chan-dra Tripathi said on 6 November The two firms are now in ldquoadvanced stages of discussionsrdquo regarding the memorandum of understanding they entered into in March 2014 Tripathi said during a panel discussion at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
A joint venture would allow them to ne-gotiate prices with LNG producers as a team and allow for swapping cargoes to better meet demand obligations Tripathi said
LNG buyers across Asia are exploring joint buying of gas as a way to possibly cut procurement costs Chubu Electric besides the GAIL alliance talks is also talking to Singapore-based Pavilion Energy
Although such a strategy might work for buyers in one market ndash such as the buying alliance Chubu and Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) announced last month ndash LNG alliances join-ing buyers in different countries with different domestic market conditions would have less chance for success said Jonathan Stern senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies ldquoI can understand the case for the Japanese but find it difficult to understand one for two end-users in two different marketsrdquo
Osaka Gas Japanrsquos second-largest natural gas utility said on 5 November it also is in talks to join the fuel buyersrsquo alliance TEPCO and Chubu Electric formed last month local media reported
Osaka Gas is the latest Japanese company to seek a joint venture to buy LNG in the world market It would add its demand to the alliance which would already be the worldrsquos largest Ben Lefebvre

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley

Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors
NGLs are separated at natural gas pro-cessing plants As a valuable feedstock for

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

GAIL enters final negotiations for US Sabine Pass FOB saleindian gas network operator GAIL is understood to have short-listed three com-panies for the sale of its 1mtpa US Sabine Pass LNG volumes which are being marketed on a free on board (FOB) basis for a five-year period
Multiple parties could gain tranches of the 1mtpa on offer with an award likely between the end of November and mid-December Germany-headquartered utility EON a trading house and an Asian company have all made it onto the shortlist ICIS un-derstands
Several participants including two Switzerland-based trading houses and Rus-siarsquos Gazprom were understood to have had advanced sales discussions with GAIL although Gazprom would not have made it to the final three
The value of the entire 1mtpa volumes for the five-year period is estimated at $25bn
The potential bid level from market par-ticipants for the Sabine Pass volumes was previously understood to be $100-150MMBtu above GAILrsquos contract price However the exact bid price could not be confirmed with GAIL
The remaining 25mtpa Sabine Pass LNG volumes will be sold to Indian companies for use in the domestic market an industry source said
GAIL secured 35mtpa of volumes through a 20-year long-term contract from US-based Chenierersquos plant in Louisiana
The Indian company agreed a purchase price of 115 of the US Henry Hub natural gas futuresrsquo price plus a $300MMBtu lique-faction fee on an FOB basis
The construction of the Sabine Pass plantrsquos train 4 is 50 completed and volumes from this are likely to start flowing in the first quar-ter of 2018 a market source said
Cheniere had estimated that the Sabine Pass plantrsquos trains 3 and 4 which are con-tracted to South Korearsquos KOGAS and GAIL respectively would come on line sometime between 2016 and 2017 Trains 1 and 2 are marketed to UK-based BG Group and Spainrsquos Gas Natural Fenosa
GAIL is still planning to set up an LNG trading desk in Singapore by 2017 before the Sabine Pass volumes start flowing
ldquoFOB volumes from US projects will be actively traded from Singaporerdquo a source close to the process said Ranjana Kaushal
Shellrsquos LNG Canada finalises electricity rate with BC Hydro Shellrsquos planned 12mtpa LNG Canada ex-port project in British Columbia has secured electricity rates with the province-run BC Hydro the province announced on 4 Novem-ber
This gives Shell a first-mover advantage in a province still determining how to provide adequate supply to the proposed export projects Royal Dutch Shell is the operator of the proposed Kitimat project along with Chinarsquos PetroChina South Korean gas com-pany KOGAS and Japanese trading company Mitsubishi
BC Hydro set the rate with the Shell-led consortium at (Canadian) $8302megawatt hour (MWh) before taxes
The rate for LNG customers will then increase by 2 each year until 2024 after which the rate will stay constant In compari-son the average rate for a non-LNG industrial user will be $5434MWh which will stay constant until a gradual ramp-up after the expansion costs are covered
BC Hydro forecast that 3000GWyear of electricity would be required for the proposed LNG projects although the utility has not ac-counted for a set number of projects given that none of the planned Western Canadian projects have reached final investment
The announcement by BC Hydro is anoth-er step forward for western Canadian project participants to determine costs
However BC Hydro would likely have to acquire new generation should another LNG project commit to a rate with the utility Min-ister of Mines and Energy Bill Bennett told members of the press on 4 November
Projects proposed in the Prince Rupert area would be even more pressed to secure
electricity from BC Hydro given that there would not be sufficient transmission in place
LNG projects could use internal gas-fired generation for electricity use or come up with an array of renewable energy other than hy-dro such as wind
Shellrsquos benefit in securing BC Hydro rates early on will likely cascade to the projectrsquos overall target to reduce emissions The prov-ince also recently established in late October strict carbon emission targets for the export project of 016 carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) tonnes per tonne of LNG produced Globally LNG facilities have emissions intensi-ties of 018CO2eLNG tonne and 027CO2eLNG tonne the province estimated
Local PNW stakeholders hold back Aside from securing electricity planning western Canadian export projects must still gain acceptance among the First Nations in the province in order to gain full right-of-way passage Some projects such as Malaysiarsquos PETRONAS and its Pacific NorthWest LNG venture have faced more difficult approvals from First Nations due to initial site designs and use of the marine channels near the site on Lelu Island

The marketing consortium for Chilersquos Quintero LNG import terminal has issued an open season call-of-interest round for companies seeking to take new capacity made available through a terminal expansion programme
GNL Chile the consortium which repre-sents the Quintero terminalrsquos existing three offtakers ndash power generator Endesa Chile Chilean state refiner ENAP and local gas dis-tributor Metrogas ndash announced the launch of the open season on 4 November
The company expects the process to last approximately a year with the aim of finalis-ing new offtake contracts by the end of 2015
Work is then expected to begin on the expansion project in 2016 enabling the start of new contracts in 2019 a source within Chile told ICIS
The installation of a new storage tank at the facility and a fourth vaporising unit is ex-pected to add 5 million cubic metres (mcm)day in additional capacity taking total send out capacity to 20mcmday (just over 5mtpa) by 2019 A total of 32mcmday in regasifica-tion capacity will be made available through the open season round
Companies based both in Chile and internationally will be able to make offers in the open season although Quinterorsquos current offtakers will not be able to participate said a source within Chile
Offers will be considered based on the commitment to take a minimum of 06mcmday Contract terms of 10 15 and 20 years will be considered through the open season round ICIS understands
An additional 18mcmday in capacity made available through the expansion stage has been reserved by GNL Chile and can be offered either to the existing offtakers or new entrants outside the open season process at a later date
Government supportThe 32mcmday offered through the open season represents the amount Chilersquos government promised to make available to new market entrants through its latest energy policy announced in May this year
Energy minister Maximo Pacheco an-nounced that the government would seek to extend the use of imported natural gas through the country enforcing open access
rights at the countryrsquos existing two terminals ndash Quintero and Mejillones in the north ndash as well as promoting the development of a third regasification facility in the south of the country
Managers at the Quintero terminal have also been focused on finalising the installa-tion of a new vaporising unit at the terminal which will expand capacity from 10mcmday to 15mcmday from early next year
Capacity will remain divided between the three current offtakers when the first expan-sion stage comes online
Power generators on Chilersquos SIC power grid such as Colbun and AES Gener are expected to lead domestic interest in the open season tender The companies currently purchase regasified LNG volumes from the terminalrsquos existing offtakers and in 2012 announced plans to build a second import terminal in the Quintero bay region
The parties awarded a contract for the provision of a floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) to Norwegian shipbuilder Hoegh in September 2012 however pro-gress on the project has since ground to a halt

Turkey could establish a thriving LNG-for-trucks business as the country is in the process of expanding its existing capacities and export volumes to neighbouring Greece and Bulgaria a source at the Turkish gas in-cumbent BOTAS told ICIS
Turkeyrsquos current capacity at the privately owned Aliaga LNG terminal is 50 trucksday and approximately 75 trucks at the BOTAS-operated Marmara LNG terminal Hizir Hakan Unal gas specialist at BOTAS said
However their combined capacities could increase to 200 trucksday with each truck able to carry almost 60 cubic metres of lique-fied natural gas
Unal who has recently published a report titled ldquoThird Party Access to Turkeyrsquos natural gas transmission system 2007-2013rdquo said Turkish gas companies were interested in this niche business not only for the domestic market but also for exports to Greece and Bulgaria
The two EU countries could be ideal mar-kets for Turkey given the existence of a num-ber of industries currently using heating oil propane or gasoil as feedstock that would benefit from switching to cheaper and more
environmentally friendly natural gas Industries that are isolated from natural
gas pipelines are increasingly turning to trucked LNG across all four corners of Europe
The wider trucking industry itself is emerging as a new source of demand with recent developments promoting LNG as a transportation fuel
The European Commission has proposed that by 2020 LNG refuelling stations for trucks are to be installed every 400km along roads of the Trans European Core Network Two such arteries run up to the border that Turkey shares with Greece and Bulgaria
In an interview with ICIS Michael Thomadakis a member of the board at the Greek regulator RAE said there was no legal obstacle to such a trade as far as Greece was concerned
He said RAE had been on the verge of granting a license to a company which had asked to import LNG in trucks from Turkey but the application was unsuccessful because the applicant could not prove its financial vi-ability
ldquoThere is no problem to import gas on trucks or otherwise from Turkey ❯❯ Page 13
Keppel signs 1mtpa HoA with PetronasSingapore-based Keppel Gas a fully-owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings has signed a 10-year 1mtpa heads of agreement (HoA) purchase deal with Malaysiarsquos incumbent oil and gas producer Petronas the company said on 4 November
The agreement would supplement two existing pipeline gas deals under which Kep-pel purchases gas from Malaysia
It is contingent on Keppel Gas receiving an LNG import license and regulatory approv-al from Singaporersquos Energy Market Authority
The LNG supplies will be sourced from Petronasrsquo global portfolio
ldquoThis is another of many steps that Kep-pel has committed over the last decade and more to support our governmentrsquos efforts to improve the competitiveness of energy sup-plies to Singaporerdquo said Ong Tiong Guan the CEO of Keppel Infrastructure
Industry sources in Singapore said the deal is likely to be indexed to crude oil One source added that the price of LNG is likely to be above what Keppel Gas pays for pipeline deliveries from Malaysia
Keppel Infrastructure operates a 1300MW combined cycle gas fired power plant in Jurong Island in Singapore
The company signed a gas supply agree-ment with Petronas back in 2005 Under that agreement up to 115 million cubic feet (33 million cubic metres)day of natural gas are delivered to Singapore for a period of ap-proximately 18 years starting mid-2006
Additional gas sales from Petronas to Singapore could mean that Keppel expects to see additional domestic demand or has found downstream customers for the volumes The pipeline delivering gas from Malaysia is also connected with Indonesia This could poten-tially allow Keppel and Petronas to balance their LNG contract via pipeline gas
Keppel Gas has also a gas supply contract with US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil which started in 2009 Under this contract Keppel delivers gas to ExxonMobilrsquos petro-chemical complex in Jurong Island Roman Kazmin
Decision delays for Rosneftrsquos Pechora LNG plant in NenetsThe proposed 52 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Pechora LNG project in the Nenets autonomous district of Russia will not have a finalised commercial structure until the end of 2014 ICIS understands
The project is operated by independent Russian oil and gas holding Alltech which in May signed an agreement with Russiarsquos incumbent oil producer Rosneft to create a joint venture
The structure was supposed to be final-ised on 1 September 2014 according to a statement issued in May by Rosneft
Pechora LNG was not granted an LNG export license in a decision by the Russian government that came after the initial May announcement It could still export LNG on the basis of a license held by Rosneft How-ever Rosneft has gained a strong bargaining position with Alltech group on the back of the legislative decision
Rosneft has faced sanctions from the United States on the back of Russiarsquos involve-ment in the conflict in Ukraine
This has left the company with limited op-tions of raising finance It has turned to the Russian government for assistance request-ing a loan from the National Wealth Fund
The cost of Pechora LNG is estimated at $53bn-66bn
Rosneftrsquos limited capacity to raise finance on certain markets could have led the compa-ny to reconsider its priorities It is developing the Far East LNG project on Russiarsquos Sakhalin island together with the US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil
The capital-intensive project is further advanced than Pechora LNG as its resource base is already producing sufficient volumes of gas
ldquoPechora LNG is still in the very early stages The location of the project is also chal-lenging I think that Rosneft has other priori-ties particularly with recent softness on crude marketsrdquo an industry source in Russia said
Rosneft which relies primarily on profits driven by crude exports from Russia is facing a dramatically different economic environ-ment compared with May
Brent crude has fallen to below $85bbl compared to over $100bbl earlier this year
Coupled with ongoing sanctions Rosneft could choose to delay the project until the economics become more viable both in terms of crude-indexed LNG sales and the cost of financing Roman Kazmin

Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021
divert volumes to the south west for LNG ex-portsrdquo Pemex gas and petrochemical director Alejandro Martinez told ICIS
Pemexrsquos original plans focused on the use of floating LNG technology(see GLM 16 July 2014) However the company is now leaning towards the construction of an onshore facil-ity Martinez added
PartnersPemex is unlikely to be able to develop the project on its own sources close to the development told ICIS previously and is open to keeping only a minority stake in the venture Conversations over a future partnership have already been held with at least one existing global LNG supplier ICIS understands
Plans for a tolling mechanism for offtak-ers could be announced as early as next year according to De la Huerta Prices at which gas will be sold by Pemex will likely be regulated by Mexicorsquos energy regulatory commission CRE under regulations established through Mexicorsquos new energy reforms
Several other export projects have been proposed for Mexicorsquos Pacific coast US-based utility Sempra has spoken previously about its desire to convert its existing Costa Azul LNG terminal on the Baja California peninsula into a liquefaction facility with the aim of sending US-produced shale gas into northeast Asian markets
Sempra is currently conducting gas stud-ies to consider the size structure and eco-nomics of a potential export facility Semprarsquos chief executive officer Debra Reed said during the third-quarter 2014 earnings presentation on 4 November
The company has received strong interest from potential offtakers for Costa Azul Reed added although the impact on contracts with Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE must also still be considered The import contract ndash which ends in 2028 ndash brings in about $150m in cash flow a year Reed said
ldquoWe should have a better sense of these factors and potential timing in the first half of next yearrdquo Reed said James Fowler Ruth Liao
Hoegh EGAS sign 2015 time charter contractNorwegian-based ship owner Hoegh LNG said on Monday it had signed a five-year time charter contract with Egyptrsquos EGAS that will start by the end of the first quarter of 2015
The contract refers to the delivery of a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) vessel which would help deliver gas to Egyptrsquos chronically short domestic market
The newbuild 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Hoegh Gallant has been undertaking sea trials around South Korea over the last few months amid reports of ongoing delays to its potential employment as the planned Egyp-tian import terminal and uncertainty over contract details
The vessel was originally due to be deliv-ered into Egyptrsquos Ain Sokhna in August but this was later put back to December Hoegh
said it is considering how it could utilise the vessel as an LNG carrier before it is delivered to the Egyptian port
Hoegh said the FSRU contract is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA (earn-ings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) of $40m This would equate to a daily fee of around $110000 based on a 365-dayyear utilisation of the vessel However with additional operating costs estimated to be $20000day according to one ship analyst the total charter hire would be closer to $130000day
The media has been full of reports of ru-moured LNG supply deals into Egypt A story from the local press on 1 November cited a government official saying previous agree-ments with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Algeriarsquos Sonatrach were not binding Stories appear
almost daily from Egypt over the cuts in gas supply to the power grid and to industrial users
LNG exports from the countryrsquos two lique-faction plants have all but ceased due to the lack of available feedgas
Ongoing negotiations over how to develop further import infrastructure are focused on pipe links to the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan gas fields
Hoegh on 4 November also said it was awarded an FSRU contract by Colombian Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) for a new LNG import terminal in Cartagena on the Atlantic coast
The contract is subject to SPEC obtain-ing necessary environmental licenses for the project which is expected to start operations mid-2016 Hoegh said Edward Cox

Final investment was initially planned to be reached in late 2014 as the PETRONAS-led project has publicly placed pressure
on the BC provincial government to pass favourable terms on a separate LNG royalty tax
Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman is scheduled to meet with PETRONAS chief executive officer Tan Sri Datorsquo Shamsul Azhar Abbas for the next in a series of negotiations to enable the project to reach a final investment commitment Ruth Liao

Indian-Japanese joint buyers consider swapsA joint LNG purchasing agreement between Indiarsquos GAIL and Japanese utility Chubu Electric could include LNG swaps between the compa-nies GAIL managing director Bhuwan Chan-dra Tripathi said on 6 November The two firms are now in ldquoadvanced stages of discussionsrdquo regarding the memorandum of understanding they entered into in March 2014 Tripathi said during a panel discussion at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
A joint venture would allow them to ne-gotiate prices with LNG producers as a team and allow for swapping cargoes to better meet demand obligations Tripathi said
LNG buyers across Asia are exploring joint buying of gas as a way to possibly cut procurement costs Chubu Electric besides the GAIL alliance talks is also talking to Singapore-based Pavilion Energy
Although such a strategy might work for buyers in one market ndash such as the buying alliance Chubu and Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) announced last month ndash LNG alliances join-ing buyers in different countries with different domestic market conditions would have less chance for success said Jonathan Stern senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies ldquoI can understand the case for the Japanese but find it difficult to understand one for two end-users in two different marketsrdquo
Osaka Gas Japanrsquos second-largest natural gas utility said on 5 November it also is in talks to join the fuel buyersrsquo alliance TEPCO and Chubu Electric formed last month local media reported
Osaka Gas is the latest Japanese company to seek a joint venture to buy LNG in the world market It would add its demand to the alliance which would already be the worldrsquos largest Ben Lefebvre

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors
NGLs are separated at natural gas pro-cessing plants As a valuable feedstock for

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

The marketing consortium for Chilersquos Quintero LNG import terminal has issued an open season call-of-interest round for companies seeking to take new capacity made available through a terminal expansion programme
GNL Chile the consortium which repre-sents the Quintero terminalrsquos existing three offtakers ndash power generator Endesa Chile Chilean state refiner ENAP and local gas dis-tributor Metrogas ndash announced the launch of the open season on 4 November
The company expects the process to last approximately a year with the aim of finalis-ing new offtake contracts by the end of 2015
Work is then expected to begin on the expansion project in 2016 enabling the start of new contracts in 2019 a source within Chile told ICIS
The installation of a new storage tank at the facility and a fourth vaporising unit is ex-pected to add 5 million cubic metres (mcm)day in additional capacity taking total send out capacity to 20mcmday (just over 5mtpa) by 2019 A total of 32mcmday in regasifica-tion capacity will be made available through the open season round
Companies based both in Chile and internationally will be able to make offers in the open season although Quinterorsquos current offtakers will not be able to participate said a source within Chile
Offers will be considered based on the commitment to take a minimum of 06mcmday Contract terms of 10 15 and 20 years will be considered through the open season round ICIS understands
An additional 18mcmday in capacity made available through the expansion stage has been reserved by GNL Chile and can be offered either to the existing offtakers or new entrants outside the open season process at a later date
Government supportThe 32mcmday offered through the open season represents the amount Chilersquos government promised to make available to new market entrants through its latest energy policy announced in May this year
Energy minister Maximo Pacheco an-nounced that the government would seek to extend the use of imported natural gas through the country enforcing open access
rights at the countryrsquos existing two terminals ndash Quintero and Mejillones in the north ndash as well as promoting the development of a third regasification facility in the south of the country
Managers at the Quintero terminal have also been focused on finalising the installa-tion of a new vaporising unit at the terminal which will expand capacity from 10mcmday to 15mcmday from early next year
Capacity will remain divided between the three current offtakers when the first expan-sion stage comes online
Power generators on Chilersquos SIC power grid such as Colbun and AES Gener are expected to lead domestic interest in the open season tender The companies currently purchase regasified LNG volumes from the terminalrsquos existing offtakers and in 2012 announced plans to build a second import terminal in the Quintero bay region
The parties awarded a contract for the provision of a floating storage and regasifi-cation unit (FSRU) to Norwegian shipbuilder Hoegh in September 2012 however pro-gress on the project has since ground to a halt

Turkey could establish a thriving LNG-for-trucks business as the country is in the process of expanding its existing capacities and export volumes to neighbouring Greece and Bulgaria a source at the Turkish gas in-cumbent BOTAS told ICIS
Turkeyrsquos current capacity at the privately owned Aliaga LNG terminal is 50 trucksday and approximately 75 trucks at the BOTAS-operated Marmara LNG terminal Hizir Hakan Unal gas specialist at BOTAS said
However their combined capacities could increase to 200 trucksday with each truck able to carry almost 60 cubic metres of lique-fied natural gas
Unal who has recently published a report titled ldquoThird Party Access to Turkeyrsquos natural gas transmission system 2007-2013rdquo said Turkish gas companies were interested in this niche business not only for the domestic market but also for exports to Greece and Bulgaria
The two EU countries could be ideal mar-kets for Turkey given the existence of a num-ber of industries currently using heating oil propane or gasoil as feedstock that would benefit from switching to cheaper and more
environmentally friendly natural gas Industries that are isolated from natural
gas pipelines are increasingly turning to trucked LNG across all four corners of Europe
The wider trucking industry itself is emerging as a new source of demand with recent developments promoting LNG as a transportation fuel
The European Commission has proposed that by 2020 LNG refuelling stations for trucks are to be installed every 400km along roads of the Trans European Core Network Two such arteries run up to the border that Turkey shares with Greece and Bulgaria
In an interview with ICIS Michael Thomadakis a member of the board at the Greek regulator RAE said there was no legal obstacle to such a trade as far as Greece was concerned
He said RAE had been on the verge of granting a license to a company which had asked to import LNG in trucks from Turkey but the application was unsuccessful because the applicant could not prove its financial vi-ability

Keppel signs 1mtpa HoA with PetronasSingapore-based Keppel Gas a fully-owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings has signed a 10-year 1mtpa heads of agreement (HoA) purchase deal with Malaysiarsquos incumbent oil and gas producer Petronas the company said on 4 November
The agreement would supplement two existing pipeline gas deals under which Kep-pel purchases gas from Malaysia
It is contingent on Keppel Gas receiving an LNG import license and regulatory approv-al from Singaporersquos Energy Market Authority
The LNG supplies will be sourced from Petronasrsquo global portfolio
ldquoThis is another of many steps that Kep-pel has committed over the last decade and more to support our governmentrsquos efforts to improve the competitiveness of energy sup-plies to Singaporerdquo said Ong Tiong Guan the CEO of Keppel Infrastructure
Industry sources in Singapore said the deal is likely to be indexed to crude oil One source added that the price of LNG is likely to be above what Keppel Gas pays for pipeline deliveries from Malaysia
Keppel Infrastructure operates a 1300MW combined cycle gas fired power plant in Jurong Island in Singapore
The company signed a gas supply agree-ment with Petronas back in 2005 Under that agreement up to 115 million cubic feet (33 million cubic metres)day of natural gas are delivered to Singapore for a period of ap-proximately 18 years starting mid-2006
Additional gas sales from Petronas to Singapore could mean that Keppel expects to see additional domestic demand or has found downstream customers for the volumes The pipeline delivering gas from Malaysia is also connected with Indonesia This could poten-tially allow Keppel and Petronas to balance their LNG contract via pipeline gas
Keppel Gas has also a gas supply contract with US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil which started in 2009 Under this contract Keppel delivers gas to ExxonMobilrsquos petro-chemical complex in Jurong Island Roman Kazmin
Decision delays for Rosneftrsquos Pechora LNG plant in NenetsThe proposed 52 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Pechora LNG project in the Nenets autonomous district of Russia will not have a finalised commercial structure until the end of 2014 ICIS understands
The project is operated by independent Russian oil and gas holding Alltech which in May signed an agreement with Russiarsquos incumbent oil producer Rosneft to create a joint venture
The structure was supposed to be final-ised on 1 September 2014 according to a statement issued in May by Rosneft
Pechora LNG was not granted an LNG export license in a decision by the Russian government that came after the initial May announcement It could still export LNG on the basis of a license held by Rosneft How-ever Rosneft has gained a strong bargaining position with Alltech group on the back of the legislative decision
Rosneft has faced sanctions from the United States on the back of Russiarsquos involve-ment in the conflict in Ukraine
This has left the company with limited op-tions of raising finance It has turned to the Russian government for assistance request-ing a loan from the National Wealth Fund
The cost of Pechora LNG is estimated at $53bn-66bn
Rosneftrsquos limited capacity to raise finance on certain markets could have led the compa-ny to reconsider its priorities It is developing the Far East LNG project on Russiarsquos Sakhalin island together with the US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil
The capital-intensive project is further advanced than Pechora LNG as its resource base is already producing sufficient volumes of gas
ldquoPechora LNG is still in the very early stages The location of the project is also chal-lenging I think that Rosneft has other priori-ties particularly with recent softness on crude marketsrdquo an industry source in Russia said
Rosneft which relies primarily on profits driven by crude exports from Russia is facing a dramatically different economic environ-ment compared with May
Brent crude has fallen to below $85bbl compared to over $100bbl earlier this year
Coupled with ongoing sanctions Rosneft could choose to delay the project until the economics become more viable both in terms of crude-indexed LNG sales and the cost of financing Roman Kazmin

Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021
divert volumes to the south west for LNG ex-portsrdquo Pemex gas and petrochemical director Alejandro Martinez told ICIS
Pemexrsquos original plans focused on the use of floating LNG technology(see GLM 16 July 2014) However the company is now leaning towards the construction of an onshore facil-ity Martinez added
PartnersPemex is unlikely to be able to develop the project on its own sources close to the development told ICIS previously and is open to keeping only a minority stake in the venture Conversations over a future partnership have already been held with at least one existing global LNG supplier ICIS understands
Plans for a tolling mechanism for offtak-ers could be announced as early as next year according to De la Huerta Prices at which gas will be sold by Pemex will likely be regulated by Mexicorsquos energy regulatory commission CRE under regulations established through Mexicorsquos new energy reforms
Several other export projects have been proposed for Mexicorsquos Pacific coast US-based utility Sempra has spoken previously about its desire to convert its existing Costa Azul LNG terminal on the Baja California peninsula into a liquefaction facility with the aim of sending US-produced shale gas into northeast Asian markets
Sempra is currently conducting gas stud-ies to consider the size structure and eco-nomics of a potential export facility Semprarsquos chief executive officer Debra Reed said during the third-quarter 2014 earnings presentation on 4 November
The company has received strong interest from potential offtakers for Costa Azul Reed added although the impact on contracts with Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE must also still be considered The import contract ndash which ends in 2028 ndash brings in about $150m in cash flow a year Reed said
ldquoWe should have a better sense of these factors and potential timing in the first half of next yearrdquo Reed said James Fowler Ruth Liao
Hoegh EGAS sign 2015 time charter contractNorwegian-based ship owner Hoegh LNG said on Monday it had signed a five-year time charter contract with Egyptrsquos EGAS that will start by the end of the first quarter of 2015
The contract refers to the delivery of a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) vessel which would help deliver gas to Egyptrsquos chronically short domestic market
The newbuild 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Hoegh Gallant has been undertaking sea trials around South Korea over the last few months amid reports of ongoing delays to its potential employment as the planned Egyp-tian import terminal and uncertainty over contract details
The vessel was originally due to be deliv-ered into Egyptrsquos Ain Sokhna in August but this was later put back to December Hoegh
said it is considering how it could utilise the vessel as an LNG carrier before it is delivered to the Egyptian port
Hoegh said the FSRU contract is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA (earn-ings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) of $40m This would equate to a daily fee of around $110000 based on a 365-dayyear utilisation of the vessel However with additional operating costs estimated to be $20000day according to one ship analyst the total charter hire would be closer to $130000day
The media has been full of reports of ru-moured LNG supply deals into Egypt A story from the local press on 1 November cited a government official saying previous agree-ments with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Algeriarsquos Sonatrach were not binding Stories appear
almost daily from Egypt over the cuts in gas supply to the power grid and to industrial users
LNG exports from the countryrsquos two lique-faction plants have all but ceased due to the lack of available feedgas
Ongoing negotiations over how to develop further import infrastructure are focused on pipe links to the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan gas fields
Hoegh on 4 November also said it was awarded an FSRU contract by Colombian Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) for a new LNG import terminal in Cartagena on the Atlantic coast
The contract is subject to SPEC obtain-ing necessary environmental licenses for the project which is expected to start operations mid-2016 Hoegh said Edward Cox

Final investment was initially planned to be reached in late 2014 as the PETRONAS-led project has publicly placed pressure
on the BC provincial government to pass favourable terms on a separate LNG royalty tax
Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman is scheduled to meet with PETRONAS chief executive officer Tan Sri Datorsquo Shamsul Azhar Abbas for the next in a series of negotiations to enable the project to reach a final investment commitment Ruth Liao

Indian-Japanese joint buyers consider swapsA joint LNG purchasing agreement between Indiarsquos GAIL and Japanese utility Chubu Electric could include LNG swaps between the compa-nies GAIL managing director Bhuwan Chan-dra Tripathi said on 6 November The two firms are now in ldquoadvanced stages of discussionsrdquo regarding the memorandum of understanding they entered into in March 2014 Tripathi said during a panel discussion at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
A joint venture would allow them to ne-gotiate prices with LNG producers as a team and allow for swapping cargoes to better meet demand obligations Tripathi said
LNG buyers across Asia are exploring joint buying of gas as a way to possibly cut procurement costs Chubu Electric besides the GAIL alliance talks is also talking to Singapore-based Pavilion Energy
Although such a strategy might work for buyers in one market ndash such as the buying alliance Chubu and Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) announced last month ndash LNG alliances join-ing buyers in different countries with different domestic market conditions would have less chance for success said Jonathan Stern senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies ldquoI can understand the case for the Japanese but find it difficult to understand one for two end-users in two different marketsrdquo
Osaka Gas Japanrsquos second-largest natural gas utility said on 5 November it also is in talks to join the fuel buyersrsquo alliance TEPCO and Chubu Electric formed last month local media reported
Osaka Gas is the latest Japanese company to seek a joint venture to buy LNG in the world market It would add its demand to the alliance which would already be the worldrsquos largest Ben Lefebvre

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors
NGLs are separated at natural gas pro-cessing plants As a valuable feedstock for

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

Turkey could establish a thriving LNG-for-trucks business as the country is in the process of expanding its existing capacities and export volumes to neighbouring Greece and Bulgaria a source at the Turkish gas in-cumbent BOTAS told ICIS
Turkeyrsquos current capacity at the privately owned Aliaga LNG terminal is 50 trucksday and approximately 75 trucks at the BOTAS-operated Marmara LNG terminal Hizir Hakan Unal gas specialist at BOTAS said
However their combined capacities could increase to 200 trucksday with each truck able to carry almost 60 cubic metres of lique-fied natural gas
Unal who has recently published a report titled ldquoThird Party Access to Turkeyrsquos natural gas transmission system 2007-2013rdquo said Turkish gas companies were interested in this niche business not only for the domestic market but also for exports to Greece and Bulgaria
The two EU countries could be ideal mar-kets for Turkey given the existence of a num-ber of industries currently using heating oil propane or gasoil as feedstock that would benefit from switching to cheaper and more
environmentally friendly natural gas Industries that are isolated from natural
gas pipelines are increasingly turning to trucked LNG across all four corners of Europe
The wider trucking industry itself is emerging as a new source of demand with recent developments promoting LNG as a transportation fuel
The European Commission has proposed that by 2020 LNG refuelling stations for trucks are to be installed every 400km along roads of the Trans European Core Network Two such arteries run up to the border that Turkey shares with Greece and Bulgaria
In an interview with ICIS Michael Thomadakis a member of the board at the Greek regulator RAE said there was no legal obstacle to such a trade as far as Greece was concerned
He said RAE had been on the verge of granting a license to a company which had asked to import LNG in trucks from Turkey but the application was unsuccessful because the applicant could not prove its financial vi-ability
ldquoThere is no problem to import gas on trucks or otherwise from Turkey ❯❯ Page 13
Keppel signs 1mtpa HoA with PetronasSingapore-based Keppel Gas a fully-owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings has signed a 10-year 1mtpa heads of agreement (HoA) purchase deal with Malaysiarsquos incumbent oil and gas producer Petronas the company said on 4 November
The agreement would supplement two existing pipeline gas deals under which Kep-pel purchases gas from Malaysia
It is contingent on Keppel Gas receiving an LNG import license and regulatory approv-al from Singaporersquos Energy Market Authority
The LNG supplies will be sourced from Petronasrsquo global portfolio
ldquoThis is another of many steps that Kep-pel has committed over the last decade and more to support our governmentrsquos efforts to improve the competitiveness of energy sup-plies to Singaporerdquo said Ong Tiong Guan the CEO of Keppel Infrastructure
Industry sources in Singapore said the deal is likely to be indexed to crude oil One source added that the price of LNG is likely to be above what Keppel Gas pays for pipeline deliveries from Malaysia
Keppel Infrastructure operates a 1300MW combined cycle gas fired power plant in Jurong Island in Singapore
The company signed a gas supply agree-ment with Petronas back in 2005 Under that agreement up to 115 million cubic feet (33 million cubic metres)day of natural gas are delivered to Singapore for a period of ap-proximately 18 years starting mid-2006
Additional gas sales from Petronas to Singapore could mean that Keppel expects to see additional domestic demand or has found downstream customers for the volumes The pipeline delivering gas from Malaysia is also connected with Indonesia This could poten-tially allow Keppel and Petronas to balance their LNG contract via pipeline gas
Keppel Gas has also a gas supply contract with US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil which started in 2009 Under this contract Keppel delivers gas to ExxonMobilrsquos petro-chemical complex in Jurong Island Roman Kazmin
Decision delays for Rosneftrsquos Pechora LNG plant in NenetsThe proposed 52 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Pechora LNG project in the Nenets autonomous district of Russia will not have a finalised commercial structure until the end of 2014 ICIS understands
The project is operated by independent Russian oil and gas holding Alltech which in May signed an agreement with Russiarsquos incumbent oil producer Rosneft to create a joint venture
The structure was supposed to be final-ised on 1 September 2014 according to a statement issued in May by Rosneft
Pechora LNG was not granted an LNG export license in a decision by the Russian government that came after the initial May announcement It could still export LNG on the basis of a license held by Rosneft How-ever Rosneft has gained a strong bargaining position with Alltech group on the back of the legislative decision
Rosneft has faced sanctions from the United States on the back of Russiarsquos involve-ment in the conflict in Ukraine
This has left the company with limited op-tions of raising finance It has turned to the Russian government for assistance request-ing a loan from the National Wealth Fund
The cost of Pechora LNG is estimated at $53bn-66bn
Rosneftrsquos limited capacity to raise finance on certain markets could have led the compa-ny to reconsider its priorities It is developing the Far East LNG project on Russiarsquos Sakhalin island together with the US-based oil and gas major ExxonMobil
The capital-intensive project is further advanced than Pechora LNG as its resource base is already producing sufficient volumes of gas
ldquoPechora LNG is still in the very early stages The location of the project is also chal-lenging I think that Rosneft has other priori-ties particularly with recent softness on crude marketsrdquo an industry source in Russia said
Rosneft which relies primarily on profits driven by crude exports from Russia is facing a dramatically different economic environ-ment compared with May
Brent crude has fallen to below $85bbl compared to over $100bbl earlier this year
Coupled with ongoing sanctions Rosneft could choose to delay the project until the economics become more viable both in terms of crude-indexed LNG sales and the cost of financing Roman Kazmin

Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021
divert volumes to the south west for LNG ex-portsrdquo Pemex gas and petrochemical director Alejandro Martinez told ICIS
Pemexrsquos original plans focused on the use of floating LNG technology(see GLM 16 July 2014) However the company is now leaning towards the construction of an onshore facil-ity Martinez added
PartnersPemex is unlikely to be able to develop the project on its own sources close to the development told ICIS previously and is open to keeping only a minority stake in the venture Conversations over a future partnership have already been held with at least one existing global LNG supplier ICIS understands
Plans for a tolling mechanism for offtak-ers could be announced as early as next year according to De la Huerta Prices at which gas will be sold by Pemex will likely be regulated by Mexicorsquos energy regulatory commission CRE under regulations established through Mexicorsquos new energy reforms
Several other export projects have been proposed for Mexicorsquos Pacific coast US-based utility Sempra has spoken previously about its desire to convert its existing Costa Azul LNG terminal on the Baja California peninsula into a liquefaction facility with the aim of sending US-produced shale gas into northeast Asian markets
Sempra is currently conducting gas stud-ies to consider the size structure and eco-nomics of a potential export facility Semprarsquos chief executive officer Debra Reed said during the third-quarter 2014 earnings presentation on 4 November
The company has received strong interest from potential offtakers for Costa Azul Reed added although the impact on contracts with Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE must also still be considered The import contract ndash which ends in 2028 ndash brings in about $150m in cash flow a year Reed said
ldquoWe should have a better sense of these factors and potential timing in the first half of next yearrdquo Reed said James Fowler Ruth Liao
Hoegh EGAS sign 2015 time charter contractNorwegian-based ship owner Hoegh LNG said on Monday it had signed a five-year time charter contract with Egyptrsquos EGAS that will start by the end of the first quarter of 2015
The contract refers to the delivery of a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) vessel which would help deliver gas to Egyptrsquos chronically short domestic market
The newbuild 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Hoegh Gallant has been undertaking sea trials around South Korea over the last few months amid reports of ongoing delays to its potential employment as the planned Egyp-tian import terminal and uncertainty over contract details
The vessel was originally due to be deliv-ered into Egyptrsquos Ain Sokhna in August but this was later put back to December Hoegh
said it is considering how it could utilise the vessel as an LNG carrier before it is delivered to the Egyptian port
Hoegh said the FSRU contract is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA (earn-ings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) of $40m This would equate to a daily fee of around $110000 based on a 365-dayyear utilisation of the vessel However with additional operating costs estimated to be $20000day according to one ship analyst the total charter hire would be closer to $130000day
The media has been full of reports of ru-moured LNG supply deals into Egypt A story from the local press on 1 November cited a government official saying previous agree-ments with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Algeriarsquos Sonatrach were not binding Stories appear
almost daily from Egypt over the cuts in gas supply to the power grid and to industrial users
LNG exports from the countryrsquos two lique-faction plants have all but ceased due to the lack of available feedgas
Ongoing negotiations over how to develop further import infrastructure are focused on pipe links to the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan gas fields
Hoegh on 4 November also said it was awarded an FSRU contract by Colombian Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) for a new LNG import terminal in Cartagena on the Atlantic coast
The contract is subject to SPEC obtain-ing necessary environmental licenses for the project which is expected to start operations mid-2016 Hoegh said Edward Cox

Final investment was initially planned to be reached in late 2014 as the PETRONAS-led project has publicly placed pressure
on the BC provincial government to pass favourable terms on a separate LNG royalty tax

Indian-Japanese joint buyers consider swapsA joint LNG purchasing agreement between Indiarsquos GAIL and Japanese utility Chubu Electric could include LNG swaps between the compa-nies GAIL managing director Bhuwan Chan-dra Tripathi said on 6 November The two firms are now in ldquoadvanced stages of discussionsrdquo regarding the memorandum of understanding they entered into in March 2014 Tripathi said during a panel discussion at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
A joint venture would allow them to ne-gotiate prices with LNG producers as a team and allow for swapping cargoes to better meet demand obligations Tripathi said
LNG buyers across Asia are exploring joint buying of gas as a way to possibly cut procurement costs Chubu Electric besides the GAIL alliance talks is also talking to Singapore-based Pavilion Energy
Although such a strategy might work for buyers in one market ndash such as the buying alliance Chubu and Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) announced last month ndash LNG alliances join-ing buyers in different countries with different domestic market conditions would have less chance for success said Jonathan Stern senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies ldquoI can understand the case for the Japanese but find it difficult to understand one for two end-users in two different marketsrdquo
Osaka Gas Japanrsquos second-largest natural gas utility said on 5 November it also is in talks to join the fuel buyersrsquo alliance TEPCO and Chubu Electric formed last month local media reported
Osaka Gas is the latest Japanese company to seek a joint venture to buy LNG in the world market It would add its demand to the alliance which would already be the worldrsquos largest Ben Lefebvre

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

Pemex eyes switch to Mexico exports by 2021
divert volumes to the south west for LNG ex-portsrdquo Pemex gas and petrochemical director Alejandro Martinez told ICIS
Pemexrsquos original plans focused on the use of floating LNG technology(see GLM 16 July 2014) However the company is now leaning towards the construction of an onshore facil-ity Martinez added
PartnersPemex is unlikely to be able to develop the project on its own sources close to the development told ICIS previously and is open to keeping only a minority stake in the venture Conversations over a future partnership have already been held with at least one existing global LNG supplier ICIS understands
Plans for a tolling mechanism for offtak-ers could be announced as early as next year according to De la Huerta Prices at which gas will be sold by Pemex will likely be regulated by Mexicorsquos energy regulatory commission CRE under regulations established through Mexicorsquos new energy reforms
Several other export projects have been proposed for Mexicorsquos Pacific coast US-based utility Sempra has spoken previously about its desire to convert its existing Costa Azul LNG terminal on the Baja California peninsula into a liquefaction facility with the aim of sending US-produced shale gas into northeast Asian markets
Sempra is currently conducting gas stud-ies to consider the size structure and eco-nomics of a potential export facility Semprarsquos chief executive officer Debra Reed said during the third-quarter 2014 earnings presentation on 4 November
The company has received strong interest from potential offtakers for Costa Azul Reed added although the impact on contracts with Mexicorsquos state-run utility CFE must also still be considered The import contract ndash which ends in 2028 ndash brings in about $150m in cash flow a year Reed said
ldquoWe should have a better sense of these factors and potential timing in the first half of next yearrdquo Reed said James Fowler Ruth Liao
Hoegh EGAS sign 2015 time charter contractNorwegian-based ship owner Hoegh LNG said on Monday it had signed a five-year time charter contract with Egyptrsquos EGAS that will start by the end of the first quarter of 2015
The contract refers to the delivery of a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) vessel which would help deliver gas to Egyptrsquos chronically short domestic market
The newbuild 170000 cubic metre (cbm) Hoegh Gallant has been undertaking sea trials around South Korea over the last few months amid reports of ongoing delays to its potential employment as the planned Egyp-tian import terminal and uncertainty over contract details
The vessel was originally due to be deliv-ered into Egyptrsquos Ain Sokhna in August but this was later put back to December Hoegh
said it is considering how it could utilise the vessel as an LNG carrier before it is delivered to the Egyptian port
Hoegh said the FSRU contract is expected to generate an average annual EBITDA (earn-ings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) of $40m This would equate to a daily fee of around $110000 based on a 365-dayyear utilisation of the vessel However with additional operating costs estimated to be $20000day according to one ship analyst the total charter hire would be closer to $130000day
The media has been full of reports of ru-moured LNG supply deals into Egypt A story from the local press on 1 November cited a government official saying previous agree-ments with Russiarsquos Gazprom and Algeriarsquos Sonatrach were not binding Stories appear
almost daily from Egypt over the cuts in gas supply to the power grid and to industrial users
LNG exports from the countryrsquos two lique-faction plants have all but ceased due to the lack of available feedgas
Ongoing negotiations over how to develop further import infrastructure are focused on pipe links to the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan gas fields
Hoegh on 4 November also said it was awarded an FSRU contract by Colombian Sociedad Portuaria El Cayao (SPEC) for a new LNG import terminal in Cartagena on the Atlantic coast
The contract is subject to SPEC obtain-ing necessary environmental licenses for the project which is expected to start operations mid-2016 Hoegh said Edward Cox

Final investment was initially planned to be reached in late 2014 as the PETRONAS-led project has publicly placed pressure
on the BC provincial government to pass favourable terms on a separate LNG royalty tax
Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman is scheduled to meet with PETRONAS chief executive officer Tan Sri Datorsquo Shamsul Azhar Abbas for the next in a series of negotiations to enable the project to reach a final investment commitment Ruth Liao

Indian-Japanese joint buyers consider swapsA joint LNG purchasing agreement between Indiarsquos GAIL and Japanese utility Chubu Electric could include LNG swaps between the compa-nies GAIL managing director Bhuwan Chan-dra Tripathi said on 6 November The two firms are now in ldquoadvanced stages of discussionsrdquo regarding the memorandum of understanding they entered into in March 2014 Tripathi said during a panel discussion at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
A joint venture would allow them to ne-gotiate prices with LNG producers as a team and allow for swapping cargoes to better meet demand obligations Tripathi said
LNG buyers across Asia are exploring joint buying of gas as a way to possibly cut procurement costs Chubu Electric besides the GAIL alliance talks is also talking to Singapore-based Pavilion Energy
Although such a strategy might work for buyers in one market ndash such as the buying alliance Chubu and Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) announced last month ndash LNG alliances join-ing buyers in different countries with different domestic market conditions would have less chance for success said Jonathan Stern senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies ldquoI can understand the case for the Japanese but find it difficult to understand one for two end-users in two different marketsrdquo
Osaka Gas Japanrsquos second-largest natural gas utility said on 5 November it also is in talks to join the fuel buyersrsquo alliance TEPCO and Chubu Electric formed last month local media reported
Osaka Gas is the latest Japanese company to seek a joint venture to buy LNG in the world market It would add its demand to the alliance which would already be the worldrsquos largest Ben Lefebvre

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley
Turkish trucked LNG industry seeks growth in SE Europe

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors
NGLs are separated at natural gas pro-cessing plants As a valuable feedstock for

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

French regulator launches tariff consultationFrench energy regulator CRE has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to tariffs at the countryrsquos three LNG regasification terminals as well transportation tariffs on the natural gas grid
Interested parties are invited to respond by 21 November to eight questions related to the terminal tariffs andor 16 questions related to transport tariffs
The majority of questions are focused on interim market incentives within CRErsquos development plan for the creation of a single national gas hub by 2018 While the first part in a two-step merger towards a single gas trading hub would see Francersquos southern grids PEG Sud and PEG TIGF merge on 1 April 2015 the consultation is geared around mitigating physical bottlenecks between the north and south of the country between now and 2018
Despite significant premiums at PEG Sud

over recent years CRE said there has not been a single new participant sending out from the two southern French terminals of Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin In a move to address this and make Fos a more attractive place to receive and send out regasified LNG it has proposed three measures
The first is to make capacity holders at the terminals nominate their slots earlier and penalise those who do not comply
Currently capacity holders have to do so before the 25th day of the month before delivery but the proposal would now encour-age them to do so before the 1st day of the month before delivery
The second idea is to lower the regasifica-tion tariff while the third would be to prolong the send-out period to 60 days post-cargo delivery
The terminal operators had distinguished between spot and longer-term regasification
tariffs but the proposal would now eradicate this difference Proposals would see longer-term tariffs fall by half while spot tariffs would fall by a third across both Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou
As the infrastructure at Fos Tonkin is sig-nificantly older than Fos Cavaou its proposed tariffs are euro0564MWh while those proposed at Fos Cavaou are euro0884MWh
The proposal would also see fixed tariffs to receive LNG cargo at all three of Francersquos LNG terminals rise to between euro80000-100000 With only those planning to schedule smaller cargoes to be disadvantaged CRE believes this would encourage larger cargoes arriving in France
The regulator has proposed a new sepa-rate set of tariffs dedicated to the emerging small-scale LNG trade ndash for vessels capable of not holding more than 20000cbm Ludovic Aldersley

since there is nothing like an import licence in the Greek legislation If someone wants just to re-export the cargo he does not even need a license for thatrdquo he said
Unal pointed out however that the only impediment to the trade relates to customs as trucks could be held up for as long as six days for controls before they may be allowed to cross the border into Greece or Bulgaria
This could make export uneconomical as liquefied volumes need to reach their desti-nation in a certain period of time to avoid evaporation The length of time depends on the design pressure within the truckrsquos storage tanks The less pressurised the storage the quicker the LNG boils off
ldquoWith a design pressure of 3 bars the truck would start to vent the boil-off gas to the atmosphere already after one week with 7 bars it would be 2-3 weeksrdquo logistics man-ager at PrimaLNG Peter Fruhwirth said
Turkish trucked LNG distribution compa-nies with an eye on exports to Europe would therefore likely be required to invest in 7-bar storage trailers
Within the European Union countries have different regulatory limits on the total gross weight of trucks permitted on roads For some it is 40 tonnes for others it is 44 tonnes
With this including the weight of the truck the weight of net LNG cargo is effec-tively reduced to 16-19 tonnes according to another source in trucked LNG transporta-tion Aura Sabadus Ludovic Aldersley
Turkish trucked LNG industry seeks growth in SE Europe

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors
NGLs are separated at natural gas pro-cessing plants As a valuable feedstock for

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

excluding strategic stocks
Net withdrawals start across European hubsNatural gas storage stocks nudged lower in the week to Monday as cold weather boosted demand With more shippers exiting gas from tanks than injecting overall fullness levels dipped for the first time for the current winter But stocks in Europe came down by less than one percentage point from the pre-vious week Overall net withdrawals stood at 112 million cubic meters (mcm) bringing capacity to 92 fullness Currently stocks sit 10 above where they were at the same time last year with some 692 billion cubic meters in reserve
Temperatures in Europe have been drop-ping as the continent delves deeper into win-ter In some parts of Europe days have also been colder than seasonal averages leading to increased domestic demand as end-users turn on or up their heating
Even with the start of net withdraws the majority of hubs are above 90 capac-
ity with many hovering around nameplate capacity And in many of the larger markets net injections continue albeit slowly
German shippers continue to hold off on net withdrawals with the NCG at 98 full-ness and the neighbouring GASPOOL hub 2 over nameplate capacity The premium of the front month over the prompt has continued to lead shippers at these traded markets to hold of from any major reliance on gas in store
The same has been broadly true of the British NBP in which net injections were 27mcm ending at 96 capacity Despite the increase this is two percentage points lower than the same time last year
The greatest volume of gas injected over the week was in Hungary where the injection season has been again extended as Russiarsquos Gazprom builds its reserves in the country
Despite these increases the overall trend across Europe was to take gas from reserves
Italyrsquos storage levels came down with shippers removing 32mcm from tanks leaving overall fullness at 99
The Austrian and Polish hubs withdrew the most gas over the week extracting 116mcm and 98mcm respectively
Forecasts from WSI for the coming week present a mixed picture In the UK and west-ern part of Europe it is expected to be colder than average for the current time of year However further in the east temperatures could be up to 8degC above normal Thomas Rodgers
Storage levels do not include strategic stocks in Hungary Italy Poland Portugal and Spain All data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Tuesday with the exception of Britain where data refers to the start of the Gas Day on Monday The data is aggregated at a national level and market area level by ICIS

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

US natural gas stocks closed the week ended 31 October with a record-breaking injection boosting stock levels ahead of the key winter peak-demand season Natural gas stocks rose by 91 billion cubic feet or 26 billion cubic me-tres (bcm) over the week just gone the high-est ever injection recorded for the last week of October according to EIA records dating back to 1993 Milder temperatures in across high-demand regions and the central south of the country coupled with ongoing record produc-tion levels allowed big injections in both the eastern and producing sectors
The injection came in over double both the year-ago week and the five-year average Total gas in storage now sits slightly below 36 trillion cubic feet (102bcm) and equiva-lent to 92 storage capacity
Record-breaking production figures have helped stocks recover from the 11-year low levels posted earlier this year leaving inven-tories just 6 below year-ago levels and 7 below the five-year average However the re-cent below-average temperatures across the eastern half of the country since 1 November will likely limit the size of future injections James Fowler

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

News Briefs
Origin pulls out of Chile ENAP looks for partnerPlans for a new natural-gas-fired power plant in central Chile to be fed by the Quintero LNG terminal have been hit by Australian Origin Energyrsquos decision to withdraw from the project
Originrsquos decision to rescind its 70 stake in the scheme has left the countryrsquos state refiner ENAP looking for another partner for the Concon power project
ldquoWe regret the exit of Origin Energy as the projectrsquos principal developer ENAP is now searching for the best formula to carry out the project in the shortest time frame possiblerdquo ENAPrsquos gas and energy director Andres Alonso said in a statement on 4 November
The Concon power plant had been planned to supply power to ENAPrsquos Aconcagua refinery as well as the countryrsquos power grid However local opposition to the project forced ENAP to scale down the plantrsquos proposed capacity from 165MW to 77MW earlier this year
ENAP is already understood to have excess LNG supply as part of its Quintero supply con-tract with UK-based supplier BG Group Plans to sell volumes to Chilean power generator Colbun collapsed earlier this year with Colbun instead procuring volumes from another Quin-tero offtaker Metrogas
ENAP signed a memorandum of agreement with Origin Energy in November 2012 through which the parties committed to exploring future cooperation in both power generation and LNG procurement
Eastern Canada project aims to double capacity LNG Limited (LNGL) Australian developer of a Canadian export venture known as Bear Head LNG in Nova Scotia has announced its intent to double the projectrsquos planned capacity to 8mtpa
A final investment decision is targeted for late 2015 to 2016 according to LNGL Pending regulatory approval it could start exports in late 2018 to 2019
The eastern Canadian greenfield proposal is envisaged to supply potential customers in Europe South America and southeast Asia although no formal offtake agreements have been completed
LNGL is also developing the proposed 8mtpa Magnolia LNG project a US greenfield export venture in Lake Charles Louisiana The Magnolia LNG project has a number of prelimi-nary offtake agreements in place but has not yet signed a sale and purchase agreement
Finnish state increases Gasum ownershipThe Finnish state has increased its ownership in natural gas company Gasum to 75 after agreeing to buy utilities EONrsquos and Fortumrsquos stakes in the business Gasum said in a state-ment on 3 November
The state will pay euro310m to Finnish com-pany Fortum for its 31 stake and euro200m to Germanyrsquos EON for its 20 stake Parties ex-pect the transactions to be completed shortly but do not have a specific time frame
Gasum imports natural gas to Finland from Russia and transmits and supplies it for energy production industry homes and transport It currently has permission to operate the grid and sell gas despite EU directives that say these two business areas must be unbundled
Russian state-owned exporter Gazprom still owns the remaining 25 of Gasum
ldquoThe transaction is to ensure that Gasum has the capabilities to develop Finlandrsquos gas market and infrastructure in the best possible wayrdquo the Finnish prime ministerrsquos office said in a statement
Finland has been looking to diversify its supply through the development of a Baltic pipeline to Estonia and the construction of multiple LNG terminals
Last February Gasum acquired the major-ity of Norwegian LNG distribution business Skangass
Indiarsquos GAIL team ups with newcomer SOCAR Indian state-run gas network operator GAIL has signed a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijani oil and gas incumbent SOCAR for jointly pursuing LNG opportunities through capacity booking LNG procurement and pro-motion of LNG projects globally GAIL said in a statement on 3 November
ldquoBoth companies shall also cooperate in [the] optimisation of LNG marketing sourcing and shipping requirementsrdquo GAIL said
GAIL has been expanding its overseas foot-print over the past few years It has secured US long-term volumes ndash 35mtpa in a 20-year contract from Sabine Pass and 23mtpa in a 20-year term from Dominionrsquos Cove Point export project in Maryland
Azerbaijanrsquos total natural gas reserves were estimated at 31 trillion cubic feet (8778 billion cubic metres) at the end of 2013 according to the BP statistical review of world energy
GDF SUEZ signs an agreement with ShenergyParis-based integrated LNG supplier GDF SUEZ has signed a cooperation agreement with Chi-nese infrastructure company Shenergy Group to develop cooperation in the energy sector joint exploration and sharing of development opportunities in Shanghai GDF SUEZ said in a statement on 3 November
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas the energy services industry power gen-eration and related businesses mainly covering LNG decentralised energy gas to power generation low emission energy application and infrastructure projects
GDF SUEZ currently assists Shanghai Gas Group a unit of Shenergy Group with the expansion of one of its LNG terminals the statement said
The company has been actively seeking op-portunities in the Chinese market particularly following its 2011 partnership with Chinese sovereign fund CIC In parallel to the latest agreement which will focus on the Shanghai region GDF SUEZ also continues to build on a cooperation agreement it signed with Beijing Gas Group in March 2014
Japan Minister talks up US LNG imports US shale gas will constitute 20 of Japanrsquos LNG imports in the several years following the start of the US export projects Japanrsquos Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yoichi Miyazawa said on 6 November
The influx of 17mtpa of US LNG into Japan following the start of Cheniere Energyrsquos Sabine Pass export project Semprarsquos Cameron LNG project both in Louisiana and Freeport LNGrsquos project in Texas will cut Japanrsquos LNG costs by up to one-third Miyazawa said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Tokyo
ldquoPrices could be 20-30 cheaper even after taking shipping into accountrdquo Miyazawa said
Costs should also fall as Japan restarts its nuclear reactors all of which were taken off line for safety inspections and equipment upgrades after the Fukushima meltdown
Kyushu Electric is expected to restart two reactors at its Sendai nuclear plant in the next several months The combined 1GW of power from the two reactors will reduce Japanrsquos LNG imports by 1mtpa Miyazawa said
Hoegh orders fifth FSRU at HyundaiNorwegian shipowner Hoegh LNG has declared its option for a fifth floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) at the Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) shipyard in South Korea it said in a statement on 6 November
The move follows the signing of two long-term FSRU contracts on 3 November (see separate story) With customers lined up for the last two of Hoeghrsquos four FSRUs in its cur-rent expansion programme Hoegh signalled its latest order at HHI initiates its next expansion programme
The FSRU which should be delivered during the first half of 2017 is set to have full trading capability and increased regasification capacity compared to previous FSRUs ordered at the yard Hoegh expects to continue seeing strong growth in the FSRU market over the next three to four years the company said
Antwerp issues RFP for LNG bunker operator Belgiumrsquos Port of Antwerp has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for prospective operators of its proposed LNG bunkering station
Interested parties have until 5 January 2015 to submit their proposals for which the port authority will grant a five-year concession it said in a statement on 5 November
The possibility for truck-to-ship bunker-ing with LNG already exists in Antwerp but the construction of a fixed bunkering station should make LNG continuously available for barges by 2016
The port authorities of Antwerp Man-nheim Rotterdam Strasbourg and Switzerland signed a joint-venture agreement earlier this year for the introduction of LNG as a fuel for inland shipping The EU has provided a subsidy of euro40m ($501m) to support the LNG infra-structure for the Rhine-Main-Danube area

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors
NGLs are separated at natural gas pro-cessing plants As a valuable feedstock for

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

The US market is approaching the eve of LNG exports with the major frontrunner projects breaking ground and starting con-struction
The first tranche of brownfield expan-sions ndash Sabine Pass Cameron and Freeport LNG ndash will see LNG exports start from 2016 However US Gulf LNG exporters could also capitalise on other hydrocarbon products following nascent signs of US producers and refiners seeking to monetise shale oil and natural gas reserves for the global market
Interest has piqued for condensate ndash oth-erwise known as an ultra-light form of crude oil ndash and processed refined products given the proximity of a hub of existing refineries and processing facilities in the US Gulf
This potentially could give a boost to LNG sellers who are looking to package together commodities to prospective buyers
Exporting LNG and other products is not a new phenomenon for other global suppliers such as Qatargas which exports LNG lique-fied petroleum gas (LPG) and condensate as well as other gases
The 56mtpa Angola LNG consortium which is currently not producing due to tech-nical issues was built to also export LPG as well as the 22mtpa Nigeria LNG facility
Supply potential In the US an estimated 58bn barrels of shale tight oil and shale gas are technically recoverable according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) with about 665 trillion cubic feet (tcf) or about 188 trillion cubic metres in wet natural gas Shale reserves alone makes up 26 and 27 of the crude oil and gas estimates respectively
Texas and South Dakota have led much of this increase with proved reserves for crude oil and lease condensate increased year on year by 15 or about 45bn barrels accord-ing to April EIA figures
In particular the Eagle Ford play in southern Texas and the Barnett play in the Fort Worth area in the north-central part of the state could be the best supply locations for US Gulf LNG export projects From 2011 to 2012 Eagle Fordrsquos estimated reserves increased to 337bn barrels from 125bn ac-cording to the EIA
Wet natural gas production which in-cludes both dry gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) has also been a lucrative monetisation stream for gas producers and midstream NGL processors
NGLs are separated at natural gas pro-cessing plants As a valuable feedstock for

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

❯❯ petrochemical production natural gas liquids could be processed into LPGs which are pri-marily ethane butane and propane
The US is already authorised to export NGLs Its exports of LPGs to South America have rapidly turned up with the average monthly export figure in 2012 at 96m barrels more than doubling to 204m barrels in 2014 with only January-to-August figures reported
regulatory spectrumPolicies to govern exports of oil and natural gas fall under a scattershot of different US regulatory agencies and pieces of legislation
The US Department of Energy (DOE) oversees approvals for companies to export LNG both to countries that have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US and non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) nations including key importers such as Japan India and China The authority for the DOE to determine these export licenses falls under the Natural Gas Act which was first created in 1938
But the US has held a decades-old ban on the export of crude oil in the lower 48 states because the legislation was first enacted to protect domestic oil reserves and wean the US from foreign imports However the stag-gering growth in discovering shale resources coupled with the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to access these reserves has changed the argument for this policy
Three different federal laws cover the ban of US crude oil Crude oil produced in Alaskarsquos Cook Inlet or crude oil exported to Canada is permitted An agency under the Commerce Department the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) handles the determination of short-term exports
Two companies US-based Enterprise Products and Pioneer Resources received BIS approval in June to export condensate that generated much contention from other refin-ers that also sought for approvals
The first condensate cargo was exported in July by Westport Petroleum a US-based trading arm of Japanese trading company Mitsui which is also a long-term offtaker and equity stakeholder at the 12mtpa Cameron LNG project
In mid-July the oil tanker BW Zambesi loaded from Texas and arrived into Yeosu port in South Korea in September according to shipping data
However the Commerce Department has stalled on any further approvals as the number of interested companies wanting to export condensate has grown similar to how LNG export proponents soon followed Chenierersquos lead
Some companies have chosen to seek their own work-around Australian conglom-erate BHP Billiton concluded that processed condensate is eligible for export after de-termining that the produce is not crude oil under BIS regulations the company said on 5 November
ldquoBHP Billiton has worked through a ro-bust due diligence secured a dedicated sup-ply chain and has taken steps to ensure the quality of our product for exportrdquo a company spokesperson said
Comment from the Commerce Depart-ment was not returned before publication
exporters eye other commodities US-based Cheniere is developing infrastructure for its first 18mtpa of production from Sabine Pass in Cameron Parish Louisiana and is looking to finalise the regulatory approvals and reach final development for its second project the greenfield 15mtpa Corpus Christi LNG facility in south Texas
The Houston-based export developer is now eyeing the potential for a site in nearby Ingleside for exporting other products and potentially condensate ICIS understands
US-based utility Sempra in the companyrsquos third-quarter earnings call on 4 November stated its intent potentially to develop a sec-ond liquefaction venture in Port Arthur Texas
The company has a 29-acre land option in south Texas from where both LNG and crude oil imports have previously been permitted Now Sempra is looking to export LNG and possibly other liquids with plans for a pos-sible four-train liquefaction facility at Port Ar-thur The site has access to a deepwater port
At the same time Sempra is also moving ahead to develop trains four and five from Cameron LNG The three-train 12mtpa Cam-eron LNG reached final investment earlier in 2014 and broke ground for construction in October
Japanese trading companies Mitsui and Mitsubishi and Paris-based portfolio seller GDF SUEZ are equity offtakers and stakehold-ers in the initial 12mtpa brownfield expansion in Hackberry Louisiana
The Sempra consortium which includes a 502 stake to Sempra with the rest hold-ing 166 each holds advantage to expand to other liquid exports which could include condensates given the diversified positions of the stakeholders
Sempra executives said the Cameron part-ners were interested in backing the trains four and five expansion as well as advancing with the Port Arthur complex at the same time
ldquoOur goal is to complete site planning negotiate contracts and [commence with] FERC planning next yearrdquo said chief execu-tive officer Debra Reed of Sempra
Mitsui with its Tennessee-based Westport Petroleum trading arm already has an advan-tage with a US position while Mitsubishirsquos Astomos Energy is that trading companyrsquos LPG trading arm
Texas advantage with eagle Ford The appeal of the south Texas Eagle Ford basin to the port of Corpus Christi has driven up the interest in access to the waterfront according to Frank Brogan managing director of the port of Corpus Christi
A condensate splitter could also be in-stalled alongside a liquefaction plant for such an export scheme to take place
Brogan said at least six companies had either options on property or sites looking at condensate exports in the Corpus Christi area
Castleton Commodities was issued a greenhouse gas permit by the US Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) in September to build a petroleum processing facility near Corpus Christi on 15 September
The permit allows Castleton Commodities to build a 100000 barrelday condensate splitter plant and bulk petroleum terminal which would include storage tanks and barge loading operations Along with exporting product CCI would also produce refined products such as diesel jet fuel and naphtha according to EPA
US-based Buckeye Partners also signed an agreement in September with Switzerland-based commodity trading company Trafigura for an 80 interest in a midstream complex in Corpus Christi that would include a con-densate splitter and LPG storage complex as well as three crude oil and condensate gath-ering facilities in the Eagle Ford basin
According to Buckeye Trafigura would have seven- to 10-year tolling agreements and minimum throughput and storage in place The condensate splitter is expected to be completed by mid-2015
For the port of Corpus Christi waterfront access has become limited given the number of proposed projects so loading rates are now set at a minimum threshold ndash at least 30000bblhour ndash in order to maximise efficiency A distinction is even drawn between barges and other vessels given that barge loading can be five or six times slower than a vessel loading ldquoWersquore trying to preserve as many opportuni-ties as we canrdquo Brogan said
Brogan said the initial real estate inter-est in developing condensate splitters in the south Texas area has softened slightly likely a result of the regulatory stalemate from the Commerce Department However how the US government determines how to rule on crude oil exports and condensate will shape formative decisions on investing in the ancil-lary infrastructure
ldquoIf they were to lift the ban on exporting crude oil it would seriously decrease the in-terest in splitter projectsrdquo Brogan said Ruth Liao
Policies to govern exports of oil and gas fall
under different US regulatory agencies

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley

Nigeria LNGrsquos stopgap reorganisation of its fleet ndash if its goes ahead as planned ndash should create positive externalities for nearly everyoneThe tender launched by Nigeria LNG (NLNG) for up to five modern diesel electric vessels this month was a newbuild ship-ownerrsquos dream
In one fell swoop those with uncommit-ted tonnage coming out of shipyards could lock in security of employment and the all-important associated cash flows over what many expect to be a difficult period
Basic fundamentals point to a bearish charter outlook quite simply because without new LNG production there are not enough cargoes to supply all the ships
It does not matter that year on year there will be fewer newbuilds in 2015 that had been ordered speculatively The overriding factor is that project vessels are lining up to arrive before projects are ready
US-based Chevron is a case in point with part of its Gorgon fleet due out already in the first quarter
So with the delayed and slow ramp-up of new LNG volumes set to come to market the decision by NLNG to consider retiring part of its existing fleet in favour of a modern up-grade is a saving grace for shipowners
Even for those who are not awarded the removal of five ships from the competitive shipping market would be very welcome Charter rates would almost certainly not sink as fast or as deep as they would otherwise
Some might say any support even in a falling market would not favour LNG traders as prospective charterers But the reality is that bottlenecks in the supply of new more technologically advanced ships would not favour anyone
That few charterers are able to accom-modate the additional logistical costs of inte-grating newbuilds into the operational global fleet is one reason why charter rates have not seen a sustained fall A diesel electric owner is currently offering a ship on the prompt above
$80000day in the Atlantic ndash significantly above summer lows ndash and this comes in spite of shipyards having delivered 35 newbuilds over the last 12 months in clockwork fashion
Bottlenecks of idle fuel-efficient modern tonnage waiting for virgin ship inspection reports are good news for no-one But the real issue is the continued use of inefficient tonnage
Globally across all industries there are few ships on the water as old as those in the LNG market
In some respect the durability of 1970s-built LNG ships is only natural given the non-corrosive nature of LNG in storage tanks but technological improvements regarding boil-off rate fuel efficiency and simply the cargo-carrying size cannot be ignored
The efficiency and monetary gains at stake are large So large that charter rates on all old ships have to drop to stay competitive And in the case of ships built pre-1990 the best commercial decision may be to simply send them to the scrap heap
Would that be bad news for the old ship-owners Not really old ships are depreciated assets and have outperformed their initial work specs
Many owners were close to retiring old vessels before 2011rsquos Fukushima disaster And now the LNG market has entered its post-Fukushima phase it only seems appro-priate that NLNG is considering the future of its six oldest ships from 1977 to 1984
NLNG has long recognised the need to upgrade its fleet It went to the shipyard itself to place newbuild orders But with these only set to come out in 2016 and a pool of other newbuilds available before them why wait
The benefits of tapping the charter mar-ket and taking modern diesel electric vessels under $65000day will significantly decrease NLNGrsquos shipping costs Ludovic Aldersley
