ENERGY VERTICAL · COMMERCIAL RISK BRIEF
LNG & Natural Gas
Multiple LNG FIDs and first-cargo milestones accelerate Atlantic-to-Asian supply diversification, while Asian spot prices firm on supply-disruption risk and African pipeline projects target European gas security.
Commercial brief
Sempra's new LNG project has produced first cargo targeting Asian delivery acceleration, while Delfin FLNG secured a $5 billion FID with MOL committing $300 million. Glenfarne's Alaska LNG project carries a headline-grabbing capital cost. Asian spot LNG (JKM) is firming on demand strength and Middle East supply-risk premium. Algeria's Trans-Saharan pipeline groundbreaking and a three-African-nation consortium targeting 30 bcm/year to Europe signal structural pipeline-gas diversification away from Russian supply. Eskom's 3,000 MW Richards Bay LNG deal anchors African demand growth.
