This new 157 page report, now available on ASDReports, Top 15 Companies in the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Infrastructure Market 2016: CapEx, Market Share % and Capacity (Mmtpa) in Large-Scale Onshore Liquefaction (Export) Plants & Analysis of Regasification (Import) Terminals indicates that the LNG market will experience CAPEX of $53.7bn in 2016 on large-scale onshore liquefaction projects.

The lead analyst of the report said: “There are a number of exciting LNG liquefaction prospects around the world in 2016, both under construction and prospective. The question is how many of these prospective projects will come to fruition. Given the slowdown in East Asia, the next wave of projects in the US, Canada and East Africa will be competing to find alternative export markets. The lifting of the sanctions in Iran may also lead to the entrance of a new major player in global liquefaction, challenging Qatar.

A range of companies made up of oil majors as well independents are focusing their investments on the LNG liquefaction sector. The global demand for energy is set to grow and gas will continue to play an important role as a fuel, due to its reliability when compared to renewables and its lower carbon emissions when compared to coal.

The construction of large-scale onshore liquefaction and regasification terminals is a function of the development of the global LNG industry. Investment in such infrastructure is dictated by unique supply and demand circumstances in different geographies, such as the US unconventional oil and gas boom and the future of Japanese nuclear power generation. Our report assesses upstream asset viability, infrastructure EPC costs and demand-side outlook to anticipate the market direction.

Overall, this is a market headed for lower levels of investment in the coming years as the very large, but over budget, Australian liquefaction projects are completed”.
