Us To Benefit From Lng Oversupply

摘要

Despite growth in its domestic shale gas plays and a demand-killing recession, North America's imports of LNG are likely to continue to grow through at least 2014, according to a new report. LNG imports should climb from 1.7 Bcfd this year to 4.2 Bcfd in 2014, a 147% rise, despite the "unprecedented success" of shale plays, according to consultants Wood Mackenzie.rn"Many industry analysts and commentators have been suggesting that the outlook for LNG imports into North America is bleak," Murray Douglas, Wood Mackenzie's North American LNG analyst, said. "While it is fair to say that [regasification] capacity has undoubtedly been overbuilt, the medium-term outlook for LNG in North America is not as dire as other commentators are suggesting."
