The LNG Industry in 2012

Editorial
The 2011 catastrophic tsunami in Japan continued its grip on LNG flows throughout 2012, causing massive shifts eastwards of Atlantic Basin and Middle East-sourced cargoes to satisfy the strong demand of Japans power industry. Its commercial effects are likely to continue beyond the current year as well as beyond a mere diversion of product flows. On the production side, capacity additions have been below expectations and insufficient to make up for the higher loss of capacity due to planned shutdowns and unscheduled production interruptions, mainly resulting from a shortfall of feed-gas. As a result, in 2012, LNG trade has seen the first decline (minus 1.9%) in the past thirty years. The strong growth in spot and short term trade seen in recent years (up by 110% from 2009 to 2011) is no longer there, primarily, but not solely, in line with the lack of new supplies. Undoubtedly, the conversion of non-committed production and flexible supplies and of so-called wedge cargoes -especially from Qatar and Peru- into term volumes has reduced the overall short term liquidity. Until substantial new volumes become available, this phenomenon is likely to continue for the next couple of years as Asian importers have a growing appetite for (more) secure supplies. Two events in 2012, albeit of a different nature, stand out among the highlights of the year: a significant rise in reloads, and the first final investment decision (FID) of exports from North America. Reloading of cargoes in receiving terminals is generally presented as a demonstration of commercial innovation though sometimes simply allowing to overcome destination restrictions or difficult negotiations on profit sharing from cargo deviations. Considering operational cost efficiency and the environmental impact, it is doubtful that reloads will continue to be a growing feature in LNG trading, despite a total count in 2012 of 70 reexported cargoes actually discharged in 2012 (up 60% from last year). It is noteworthy that Europe makes up more than three quarters of these reloads, nearly all attributable to Spain and Belgium, two of the countries in Europe with sufficient firm destination supplies to sustain regular reloads. The hotly debated US LNG exports on the other hand are to be viewed as a far more important trend with profound commercial consequences, assuming that last years pioneering FID by Cheniere will have several followers in 2013. At the time of this writing however none of the twenty or so projects somewhere in the pipeline in the USA and Canada have reached this final stage yet. The commercial pricing principles will be groundbreaking if the Cheniere project is followed by other projects, eagerly awaited by many Asian importers, hoping that Henry Hub-based pricing can bring relief from crude price indexation in the future. The outlook for LNG demand remains strong, particularly in Asia and in the new markets of Latin America and the Middle East. Unless there is a rapid and sizeable restart of nuclear capacity in Japan- generally not regarded as likely- LNG markets are expected to remain tight until 2015, when a wave of new production is to come on-stream. Over the next two to three years as little as 20 million tons p.a. of new capacity ( a mere 8% addition ) are likely to start up and redirections from the Atlantic Basin of flexible cargoes would continue to balance demand In Asia. In the second part of the decade and beyond, a wave of new projects, many already under construction in Australia, as well as possibly in North America and from the promising East African discoveries should satisfy market demand growth and sustain the confidence in our thriving industry. GIIGNL had another rewarding year in 2012, the 41st of its existence. Total membership now stands at 70 worldwide and is made up of nearly all companies active in the import of LNG or the operation/ownership of LNG import terminals. The commercial and technical study groups have continued their study programme of selected topics of current interest to our members and to the industry in general, some of which have led to publications on the public domain of our website. A new addition in May 2012 has been the publication of a Master Voyage Charter Party tailored to single voyages and responding to an industry need resulting from the growth of spot and shortterm cargo trading. Other publications which continue to draw industry interest had been updated in 2011, namely the Master Sales and Purchase Agreement for both ex-Ship and FOB LNG trade and the LNG Custody Transfer Handbook. In the LNG 17 conference in Houston, a paper on the third update of the LNG Incident study will be presented. Safety is a primary focus at GIIGNL, as is the adherence to the highest standards. Open and voluntary information exchange in this domain is of paramount importance to maintaining the excellent safety record of our industry, in itself an absolute condition for its continued success.

Lng contracts and trade

In 2012, global LNG imports net of reloads reached 236.3 Mt, a 1.9% (4.5 Mt) decrease compared to the previous year. Maintenance and unscheduled interruptions on existing liquefaction facilities, as well as lower than expected capacity additions, with only one new train Pluto in Australia coming into service in May, have limited the supply availability. Increased demand, mainly in Japan, China, India and South America have contributed to the market tightness.
A MARKET DOMINATED BY BIG PLAYERS

On the supply side, 6 countries joined the ranks of exporters over the last ten years. However, 8 countries out of a total of 18 made up 83% of global LNG exports at the end of 2012. LNG supplies from the Pacific Basin declined by 2.7 Mt (- 3%), despite new volumes from Australia and the quick ramp-up of Pluto. Indonesia (-13.3%) and Malaysia (-4.8%) accounted for most of the production decline in the region. In the Atlantic Basin, three suppliers (Nigeria, Norway, Trinidad & Tobago) increased their production levels but lower exports from Algeria, Egypt and Equatorial Guinea dragged the overall Atlantic Basin supply down by 2.2%. Due to production shutdowns in Yemen, total exports from the Middle East were reduced by 0.5 Mt, despite 1 Mt additional supplies from Qatar. 63% of Qatari volumes were exported to Asian countries, with Japan retaining the lions share. Between 2010 and 2012, Qatar doubled its LNG exports to Japan (15,7 Mt in 2012 vs 7,6 Mt in 2010). Qatari exports to South Korea jumped by 56% between 2010 and 2012, reaching 10.8 Mt or 29% of South Koreas LNG supplies. On the demand side, 7 importing countries out of a total of 26 (Japan, South Korea, China, India, Taiwan, Spain, UK) attracted 81% of total LNG volumes. Japan and South Koreas combined share was around 53%.
With the start-up of the Nusantara regasification terminal, Indonesia started receiving LNG in 2012 (0.7 Mt), becoming the 26th importing country and-after the USA-the second LNG producing country also importing LNG. Noteworthy is Europes decline by some 27% because of cargo redirections, reloads and sluggish gas demand, bringing the 2012 net LNG imports below the 2009 level. With net imports of 14.5 Mt - at the same level as the volume of LNG imports into China - Spain is back as Europes number one LNG importer. In the UK, imports dropped to 10.4 Mt (- 44%). 98% of the countrys LNG came from Qatar, with 72% of total imports delivered to the South Hook terminal. As a consequence of the decline in Europe, last years contrasting trends between the two major basins have been even more apparent in 2012. LNG deliveries to Asia increased by some 9% (with every single country showing a growth) whereas for the Atlantic Basin deliveries fell back 22% overall. In the Americas, the LNG market of South America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile) recorded a 40% growth over 2011, reaching twice the size of North Americas market. Following a year of low imports due to a large hydroelectricity production, LNG deliveries to Brazil more than tripled in 2012, reaching 2.7 Mt. LNG deliveries to Chile remained stable, around 2.8 Mt. Argentinas imports increased by almost 15% and reached 3.4 Mt in 2012, 2.3 Mt of which coming from
IMPORTS: FROM THE ATLANTIC BASIN TO THE PACIFIC BASIN

For the second year in a row, all Asian countries without exception recorded a growth. Resulting from a weak gas demand, lower imports into Europe provided for the swing between global supply and demand. Asian countries imported 14. 2 Mt of additional quantities, 9 Mt of which were received in Japanese terminals. At the end of 2012, Asia accounted for 71% of global LNG demand compared to 64% in 2011, and Japan and South Korea together represented three quarters of Asias LNG imports. In the absence of nuclear restarts, Japan recorded indeed an 11.4% growth year-on-year. South Korean LNG imports increased by 3.4%, above the countrys GDP growth rate of 2%. The growing appetite for LNG in China and India resulted in 12.2% and 7.7% growth rates respectively over the previous year and both countries represented a combined 11.8% global market share in 2012.

Trinidad & Tobago. Starting in 2013, Enarsa will purchase cargoes from GasNatural Fenosa under a 1.5 Mt one-year contract. In Brazil, Petrobras also signed a one-year contract with Iberdrola for 0.36 Mt. In Mexico, annual imports increased by 23.8%, mainly due to the start-up of the Manzanillo regasification terminal and the reception of volumes from Peru under a term contract.
deliveries to South America and Mexico reached a combined 12% of total spot and short-term trade, vs. 8% in 2011. Contrasting with the stagnant spot and short-term total market, the reloading of cargoes increased dramatically in 2012, with a total of 75 cargoes re-loaded compared to 44 in 2011. Most cargoes were re-exported from Europe, the majority of which from Spain . It is to be noted that from the 75 cargoes re-loaded, only 70 were discharged, as 5 cargoes were still at sea at the end of the year: one was bound for Brazil, one for India (Dabhol), one for Israel (Hadera) and two for South Korea. The world trade involved 158 flows (i.e. country-to-country trades) over 369 sea transportation routes (port-to-port routes). In 2012, there were 34 new country-to-country flows compared to 2011: ALGERIA/China, South Korea and Taiwan ABU DHABI/ Dubai BELGIUM/Argentina, Brazil, Greece, Portugal BRAZIL/ Japan - FRANCE/Argentina, Brazil and Japan - SPAIN/Brazil, Greece, India, Japan, Portugal and Turkey - NIGERIA/Puerto Rico - NORWAY/ Turkey, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Puerto Rico, South Korea and Kuwait TRINIDAD & TOBAGO/Portugal, Mexico, Thailand and Kuwait USA/ Argentina - OMAN/China - YEMEN/Thailand QATAR/Dominican Republic.
SPOT AND SHORT-TERM LIQUIDITY: ASIA ON THE FRONT LINE AS A DESTINATION; QATAR AS A SOURCE
With 59 Mt, the share of spot and short-term trades (trades under contracts with a duration of four years or less) remains unchanged, around 25% of total LNG trade. In terms of sourcing, spot and short-term volumes mainly came from the Middle East (43.7%), followed by the Atlantic Basin (39.6%) and the Pacific Basin (16.6%). Qatar remains the number one supplier of spot and short-term LNG, with 35.5% of total spot and short-term volumes. It is followed by Nigeria (15.2%) and Trinidad (8.7%). In 2012, Asia received 70% of total spot and short-term quantities, vs. 61% in 2011. European countries made up 12% of spot and short-term imports, vs. 20% in the previous year. Spot and short-term

LNG tankers
The total LNG tanker fleet consisted of 378 vessels at the end of the year.
It included 14 FSRUs* and 14 ships of less than 18 000 m3. In line with 2011, short-term and mid-term charter rates remained high in 2012 (around USD 120 000/day), with peaks around USD 150 000/day for conventional 155 000 m3 vessels. In October 2012, the Ob River LNG tanker (150 000 m3) achieved the first voyage through the Northern Sea Route. After cooling-down operations in Montoir-de-Bretagne, the LNG carrier was loaded in Norway and sailed to Tobata, Japan. LNG bunkering projects and LNG as a marine fuel gained significant momentum during the year. In April 2012, there were 27 LNG-fuelled ships in operation, and 29 to be delivered. 2 LNG carriers were delivered in 2012 (compared with 16 ships in 2011): - Cubal (160 400 m3) - Shen Hai (147 200 m3) 3 ships were scrapped: - Elba - Palmaria - Sunrise (ex Transgas/Edouard L.D.) One LNG tanker was converted into an FSRU: - West Java (Nusantara Regas, delivered in 1977) At the end of 2012, the order book comprised 78 vessels, including 2 small ships of less than 18 000 m3. During the year, 27 new orders (2 Moss, 25 membrane) were placed: - 23 LNG carriers - 2 FSRUs - 1 RV - 1 FLNG All vessels ordered in 2012 had an expected capacity ranging between 150 000 m3 and 172 000 m3, except the FLNG (210 000 m3). Currently, the standard size for ships is considered to be around 155 000 m3. A number of ship owners are also increasingly looking at 170 000 m3 ships, which are compatible with most receiving terminals as well as with the Panama Canal.

Liquefaction plants
There were 89 liquefaction trains in operation in 18 exporting countries at the end of 2012. One new facility came into service in Australia: Pluto LNG, with a capacity of 4.3 mmtpa. The aggregate nominal capacity of all liquefaction plants reached 282 mmtpa, to be compared with a worldwide LNG consumption of 236 mmtpa. Four FIDs were taken during the year, for a total output of 23.1 mmtpa: Ichthys (January), Malaysia FLNG (April), APLNG Train 2 (July) and Sabine Pass (August).

Algeria In Algeria, production was constrained mainly due to feedgas shortages. The new 4.7 mmtpa LNG train at Skikda was scheduled to be operational in 2012 but has been deferred to the summer of 2013. Angola In Angola, due to technical issues, partners Sonangol, Chevron, BP, Total and ENI were obliged to delay the start-up of the 5.2 mmtpa train initially planned for 2012. The first cargoes are expected to be loaded in the first half of 2013.
Australia In Australia, the Pluto project led by Woodside was the only new LNG project to be commissioned in 2012. The first cargo was loaded in May and delivered to Kansai Electric. At the end of the year, the Pluto project was operating near its full capacity of 4.3 mmtpa. In addition, seven projects are currently under construction, for a total capacity of 61.8 mmtpa:
WEST COAST Off the north-western coast of Australia on Barrow Island, the Chevron-led Gorgon project announced significant cost overruns. Mainly due to rising labour costs, stringent regulation and weatherrelated issues, the initial project cost of around US$ 37 billion is now estimated at around US$ 52 billion. According to Chevron, each of the three Gorgon trains could produce 5.2 mmtpa instead of 5 mmtpa initially. First LNG deliveries are expected in 2015. South of Barrow Island in Ashburton North, Chevron and partners have started construction of the 8.9 mmtpa Wheastone project. Owned by Chevron (64.14%), Apache (13%), Kuwait Petroleum (7%), Shell (6.4%) Kyushu Electric (1.46%) and PE Wheatstone Pty Ltd (8%, partly owned by TEPCO), Wheatstone has approval for exports of up to 25 mmtpa of LNG, with first deliveries expected in 2016. In August 2012, 79% of production were covered by long term SPA or HOA. Led by Inpex, Total and Japanese partners, the 8.4 mmtpa Ichthys LNG project has entered the construction phase after its FID in January 2012, representing an investment of US$ 34 billion. In July 2012, Total signed an agreement with Inpex in order to increase its interest in the project from 24% to 30%. First deliveries are expected around the end of 2016. Prelude FLNG: Led by Shell, the Prelude floating LNG liquefaction facility is currently being built in South Korean shipyards. The facility will produce gas and condensates from the Bonaparte basin: LNG output will be 3.6 mmtpa for first deliveries in 2017. In 2010 and 2011, Shell agreed to sign portfolio supply deals with Osaka Gas, Kogas and CPC including Prelude LNG volumes. EAST COAST On the East coast, the coal bed methane-to-LNG Queensland Curtis LNG (QCLNG) project led by BG is currently under construction. First LNG deliveries from the two 4.25 mmtpa trains are expected for the end of 2014 or the beginning of 2015. In October 2012, BG signed an HOA for the sale of a 20% stake in QCLNG upstream blocks and of a 40% stake in Train 1 to CNOOC. BG will retain ownership of the tanks and jetty. The HOA also includes a 5 mmtpa LNG supply contract for a duration of 20 years. Both companies also agreed to invest in the construction of two LNG carriers in China. The 5 mmtpa deal will represent a significant portion of BGs portfolio and will balance the companys off-take of 5.5 mmtpa from Sabine Pass. Also on Curtis Island, the CBM-based Australia Pacific LNG project (APLNG) led by ConocoPhillips, Origin Energy and Sinopec took FID on a second 4.5 mmtpa train in July, which will mostly supply Sinopec (3.3 mmtpa) and Kansai Electric (1 mmtpa). ConocoPhillips and Origin decided to reduce their interest in the project to 37.5% each, which will increase Sinopecs share from 15% to 25%. Led by Santos (30%), Total (27.5%), Petronas (27.5%) and Kogas (15%), the CBM-based Gladstone LNG project has started construction with the burial of the 420 km underground pipeline linking the gas fields to Curtis Island. For this two train project (2x3.9 mmtpa), Santos announced in 2012 a new estimated cost of US$18,5 bn. First deliveries are expected around the end of 2015. In May 2012, APLNGs operator Origin Energy signed an agreement to supply feed gas to the Gladstone project. Canada In British Columbia, several large-scale LNG export projects are being considered sourced from unconventional gas in the form of LNG.
So far, three projects have been granted export licenses by the NEB (National Energy Board): - Kitimat LNG - LNG Export Co-op (Douglas Channel project) - LNG Canada Initially launched by Apache (40%), EOG (30%) and Encana (30%), the Kitimat LNG project includes two trains with a total capacity of 8.9 mmtpa and a possible start-up in 2017. In December 2012, EOG and Encana sold their shares to Chevron. The Douglas Channel Project, developed by LNG Partners and the Haisla Nation, is a proposed liquefaction facility on the west bank of the Douglas Channel, within the District of Kitimat. The expected project output is 0.9 mtpa (with possible expansion to 1.8 mtpa). Regulatory permits are awaited. Deliveries could start in 2019. Led by Shell, Mitsubishi, Kogas and Petrochina and also located in the Kitimat district, the LNG Canada project comprises 4 trains for a total capacity of 24 mmtpa. Start-up is expected around 2019. Near Prince Rupert, BG Group is also studying the feasibility of an export plant which could be operational by the end of the decade. Colombia In Colombia, Exmar and Pacific Rubiales have started construction of a 0.5 mmtpa floating liquefaction plant, which could be operational in 2014. Plans involve building a small liquefaction barge and a pipeline from the companys La Creciente gas field to the Caribbean coast.
Liquefaction plants 2012 (contd.)

Egypt In Egypt, feedgas supply for exports has been reduced mainly because of rising domestic demand. The output from the Damietta plant was sharply curtailed and the plant did not ship out any cargo between the end of June and the beginning of November. On average, the liquefaction plants at Idku and Damietta operated at around 40% of the nameplate capacity. As a result, Egypt could become an LNG importer in 2013. Following a tender from the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Resources, several fast-track projects to install a FSRU off the Egyptian coasts have been submitted. Among the front-runners, a joint-venture formed by Egyptian private equity firm Citadel Capital (49%) and Qatari partners (51%). Equatorial Guinea In Equatorial Guinea, new gas discoveries made by Marathon, Noble Energy and Ophir Energy could support the development of a second train by the end of the decade. Indonesia In Indonesia, Tangguhs LNG plant was hit by production outages, which reduced the countrys annual output. In November, BPs project to construct a 3.8 mmtpa third train at Tangguh LNG was approved by the government, provided that 40% of the trains production is dedicated to the domestic Indonesian domestic market. FID is expected by 2014 but the abolition of upstream regulator BPMigas at the end of the year casts significant uncertainty on future LNG projects in the country. Still under construction, the Sengkang and Donggi-Senoro LNG projects (2 mmtpa each) could come online in 2014. In Arun, Pertamina plans to convert the ageing liquefaction plant into a 4.13 Bcm import terminal by mid-2014. Israel In order to liquefy gas from the Tamar and Dalit fields, Pangea LNGs subsidiary, Levant LNG Marketing, and Tamar Partners decided to start a FEED study for a 3 mmtpa floating liquefaction and storage vessel which would be moored 60 miles offshore Israel. FID is expected in the second half of 2013. Libya In Libya, the Marsa-El-Brega plant remained shut down as a consequence of the civil war. Malaysia In Malaysia, extended maintenance on the liquefaction facilities contributed to reduction of the LNG output. In April 2012, Petronas took FID on its 1.2 mmtpa floating liquefaction project at Kanowit, 180 km offshore Bintulu. In addition, German company Linde will build a medium-scale liquefaction plant of around 670 000 tpa which could start operating in 2014.
Mozambique In Mozambique, Eni and Anadarko signed an HOA for a joint development of onshore liquefaction facilities in Northern Mozambique. Currently in the FEED phase, the partners could take FID before the end of 2013. In its initial phase, the project includes 20 mmtpa of liquefaction capacity, with operational start-up targeted for 2018. Nigeria In Nigeria, various sabotage actions on feedgas pipelines led to force majeure on deliveries in October and November. Prospects for a 7th train at NLNG facilities or for the development of the Brass project remain uncertain, both projects now being in competition with new projects in East Africa. Norway In Snohvit, the production level was higher than in 2011 when unplanned maintenance operations had to be undertaken. At the end of the year, the plant owners announced their decision to shelve their plans for a second train in Snohvit, due to insufficient gas reserves. Papua New Guinea In Papua New Guinea, the two-train PNG LNG project is currently under construction and should come on stream in 2014. PNG LNG will be operated by ExxonMobil and its total capacity should increase from 6.6 mmtpa to 6.9 mmtpa. Led by InterOil, the 8 mmtpa Gulf LNG Project had not reached FID yet at the end of 2012, but the government has approved a first train of 4 mmtpa and has decided to increase its stake in Gulf LNG to 50%. To move forward, it is considered that the project needs a proven LNG operator. Russia In Sakhalin, the production level was raised to 114% of the nameplate capacity. In August, the Shtokman project was deferred by Gazprom.

USA In the United States, FID was taken in August on the first phase of the Sabine Pass liquefaction project developed by Cheniere. The first phase includes two trains of 4.5 mmtpa each and FID for trains 3 and 4 was expected in the first half of 2013. So far, Sabine Pass is the only US export project holding a permit to export LNG to countries with which the United States do not have a free trade agreement. At the end of 2012, 17 large-scale projects had requested permits from the Department of Energy to export LNG to both FTA and non-FTA countries. In December, a report commissioned by the DoE endorsing the benefits of LNG exports from the US was released. The requests for export licenses will be examined after a preliminary consultation period. The timetable of US exports will also be greatly determined by the pace of the Federal Energy regulatory Commission (FERC) approval process. Sabine Pass is so far the only project which has received approval from the FERC. Yemen In Yemen, several sabotage attacks affected the feedgas pipeline to the Balhaf plant, causing severe supply disruptions and loss of output. Given the history of attacks, expanding the plants capacity is not on the agenda.

Regasification plants
93 LNG regasification terminals - including 11 floating facilities - were in operation at the end of 2012. Indonesia became the 26th importing country. At the end of the year, the combined nominal send-out capacity of the facilities reached 668 mmtpa (902 bcm/y). With 406 tanks, total storage capacity was close to 46 106 m3 of LNG (liquid). Half of the worlds regasification capacity was located in Asia. Based on an annual LNG consumption of 236.3 mmtpa, the global average utilization rate of receiving installations slightly decreased to 36%. While the utilization rate of Asian terminals remained stable (around 46%), the European rate decreased to 31%. In the Americas, the average terminal utilization rate was around 10% but only 2% in U.S terminals.
Four new regasification terminals were commissioned in 2012, adding an 11.5 mmtpa regasification capacity:
