Norway's Equinor,the EU's second-largest gas supplier after Russia's Gazprom,is making shorter-term pricing a bigger part of its sales strategy to reflect the volatility and fast-changing nature of the European gas market-particularly the growing presence of spot LNG.The change,which underscores the greater importance of gas indexation,comes as the wider industry tilts toward gas hub pricing to reflect more liquid European markets.Sales from Equinor's gas portfolio are currently linked to a basket of gas indexes,based on longer-term forward-dated prices.But Equinor's marketing and trading senior vice president,Tor Martin Anfinnsen,told an analyst forum in late February that the plan is to price them mostly on day-ahead and month-ahead contracts starting in 2020.The portfolio will be weighted roughly two-thirds to the day-ahead contract and the rest to the month-ahead,with the basket of pricing indexes rolling off this year.
