Whilst demand for clean natural gas is increasing, the commerciality of large-capex projects is being called into serious question. We agree with industry behemoth, Shell, which claims that only a fraction of the natural gas export projects being developed around the globe will become a commercial reality. The biggest drawback is the massive cost of development at the same time as increased supply is leading to weaker prices. In Asia, where 70% of global LNG trading takes place, spot LNG prices have fallen by more than 35% this year to their lowest level since late 2012. (VIEW LINK)
