In a few weeks, the global LNG industry will meet in Bangkok at Gastech 2026. But before the days of back-to-back meetings, cocktail parties and jet lag begin, join Poten & Partners for a curtain raiser as our expert panel discusses some of the topics we expect to dominate conversations in Thailand.
Here are a few of the topics we’ll tackle:
- The ongoing fallout from the war in the Middle East – After six months of conflict, how are markets handling the lost supply from the region?
- Global project development – After several years of U.S. projects dominating FIDs, we are starting to see growing interest in LNG export projects beyond the U.S. Gulf Coast. What are buyers seeking in terms of contracting and geographical diversification when they look at global projects? Which projects are gaining momentum and how will this affect global balances going forward?
- U.S. liquefaction projects – While relatively few new U.S. projects are close to getting to FID, some brownfield projects are progressing through the permitting and marketing process. With tens of millions of tons of new capacity, how strong is the global appetite for new U.S. projects?
- Commercial developments – As competition among projects heats up, we are seeing a wave of innovation in contracting. What kinds of new contract structures are emerging and how could greater diversity in pricing affect projects trying to get to FID?
- Regasification projects – Despite supply headwinds, the number of LNG import projects continues to grow around the world as natural gas remains a critical fuel for economic development and energy security. Where will this new demand come from? What contracts support them? And how are these import projects affected by geopolitical events and high natural gas prices?
- Long-term price outlook – What are the long-term price ideas following the war? Are they holding up or showing signs of downward pressure from new U.S. supply coming online from 2028–2029?
Please join our expert panel as they discuss these and other topics of interest.
