BENTEK Says Lack of Demand in U.S. for LNG Due to Domestic Supply of Shale Gas Has Shifted the Dynamics of the World Market; Predicts Low U.S. LNG Imports over the next Five Years and the Gulf Turning to Exporting

摘要

Due to the growing domestic supply from shale gas, the U.S. did not become the liquefied natural gas (LNG) market many expected in the last couple of years, asserted BENTEK Energy, LLC in its latest report, The LNG Market: New World Order. U.S. shale gas has cut import needs, resulting in a global oversupply of LNG and lower world gas prices. The dramatic U.S. market dynamics have affected "every corner of the globe and every sector of the global gas industry," from supply to demand to transportation and prices, the report stressed.
