    Changing World of LNG Trading and Marketing

    Panel Gas Finance/Trading/Risk Management

    The LNG industry has gone through a number of significant changes in its relatively short history. While demand has more than tripled in the last 20 years, more subtle structural changes have facilitated market developments that were hitherto unforeseen. Changes in approach to marketing, project structuring, and financing with an ever-growing spot and financial market, has meant new players often no longer fall into the simple descriptor of buyer or seller, but are referred to as aggregators, traders, or portfolio players. Spot liquidity is increasing and plans are afoot to launch market hubs. These market evolutions, new business models, and associated activities are the targets for discussion in this exciting Strategic Dialogue session.
