Global FLNG capacity will triple by decade-end, while LNG supply is set to surge in 2026, say new reports

Global floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) capacity is set to more than triple by 2030, according to a new report from Rystad Energy, driven by improved operational efficiencies and cost reductions. Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that global natural gas demand will shrink in 2025 but rebound in 2026 as a 7% surge in LNG supply, driven by the US, Canada and Qatar, eases tight market fundamentals and revives Asian demand.

Trump vs US LNG? The contradictory state of oil and gas diplomacy today

The threats of tariffs and trade wars of the Trump 2.0 administration could undermine the foundations of US LNG production, argues Mark Davis, Chief Executive Officer of flare solutions firm Capterio.

Tomorrow’s benefits and today’s problems: CEOs agree to disagree at International Energy Week

Only weeks before the Iran war broke out, senior leaders of oil and gas majors and utilities differed in their perspectives about the importance of the transition away from oil and gas, and the relationship between the transition and energy security, writes New Energy World Senior Editor Will Dalrymple.

Fallout: Iran and Qatar gas production hit hard by Gulf conflict

The US-Israeli conflict with Iran has seen both sides target energy infrastructure, with major damage to facilities at the world’s largest gas field, South Pars/North Dome, in the Gulf, and shared between Qatar and Iran. The impact of the attacks is being felt globally, with prices rising due to the closure of LNG plants in Qatar and the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz, writes Paul Cochrane.

EU plans to slash Russian gas imports by two thirds

The European Commission (EC) has presented proposals to reduce EU dependence on Russian gas by two thirds before the end of 2022, as part of a plan to become independent of all Russian fossil fuels (including oil) well before 2030.

Fears that EU shipping fleets will be locked-in to LNG to cut emissions

Forecasts that a quarter of Europe’s shipping will run on LNG has raised concerns by climate campaign group Transport & Environment (T&E) that EU shipping could be locked into fossil fuels for decades.

From force majeure to restart: the engineering and project delivery priorities after disruption to LNG infrastructure

Force majeure was declared by several Middle East oil and gas suppliers in the wake of damage received during the early stages of the US/Israel-Iran war. The term is used when conflict, physical damage or a major external event interrupts supply. It can trigger contractual protections, explain missed cargoes and provide a legal frame for disruption. But in LNG, force majeure is only the beginning of the story. The real test starts immediately afterwards, when operators, engineers and project teams have to answer a much harder question: what does it actually take to bring damaged infrastructure back safely, credibly and sustainably into service? Framing an answer is Aghalar Gasimov MEI, Technical Project Interface Leader for North Field Production Sustainability COMP-2, QatarEnergy LNG.

Exploring the challenges of net zero: energy security, LNG markets and Saudi Arabia’s decarbonisation plans

Despite numerous governments making plans to move to net zero, and climate activists agitating for faster decarbonisation, consumer behaviours are yet to change. In part this is due to obstacles and roadblocks that were not foreseen when the plans were originally implemented but are now being encountered. These include the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the challenges of delivering a multilateral approach. The WPC Energy UK National Committee Expert Workshop 2024 hosted by Deloitte at its London office on 31 October considered these factors and other challenges. Nnamdi Anyadike reports.

Methane rules: emerging interest in natural gas competitiveness and waste capture

Gas markets are oversupplying, electricity is straining under AI demand, and methane rules are raising the bar. Together, these forces are rewriting competitiveness in energy, writes Mark Davis FEI, CEO of Capterio, a British company focused on reducing gas flaring.

Russian options to offset loss of European gas market

Russia will have to build up its LNG industry and construct thousands of kilometres of pipeline to China to offset the loss of European gas sales in the coming years. And in the circumstances, both options will be formidable undertakings. Tim Crawford reports.
