DALLAS, December 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

ReportsnReports.com updates its store with market research report "LNG Industry to 2017 - Australia to Overtake Qatar as Global Market Leader in LNG Liquefaction Capacity Due to Recent Discoveries, Planned Projects and Investments".

Qatar is currently the world's largest LNG exporter, but risks stagnation, as the country shows no plans for capacity additions in the near future. Qatar boasted a liquefaction capacity of 77.5 million tons in 2011, but this doesn't look to change significantly, whereas Australia's modest liquefaction capacity of 20 million tons in 2011 is expected to reach 124 million tons by 2017.

FLNG terminals are expected to be a technology game-changer in the future LNG industry, due to enormous advantages, despite the technology still being in development stages and yet to commence commercial operation. In the near future it is expected that 10% of LNG produced globally will be a product of natural gas extracted from offshore basins, which is around 40% less expensive than that from onshore natural gas projects.

Australia has shown its ambitions as a LNG hub through their FLNG activity. After spending many years in R&D and investing over $500m, Dutch major Shell announced its Final Investment Decision (FID) to construct a floating LNG project at Australia's Prelude field in May 2011. The project is expected to start by 2017, with a processing capacity of 3.6 million tons.

As of 2011, total LNG trade among 25 active countries stood at 233.1 million tons, from trade of only 157.6 million tons in 2006, when a mere 16 countries were involved in the export of LNG. As of 2011, Qatar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia and Nigeria are the top five LNG exporting countries, contributing to around 151 million tons of LNG exports to their major importers. Similarly, Japan, Korea, Spain, UK and China are the top five LNG importing countries, contributing to around 163 million tons of LNG imports from their major exporters. Investments in LNG projects are set to steadily increase during the immediate future, with global capital expenditure for upcoming LNG projects estimated to exceed $200 billion over the 2012-2017 period.

Scope of this report covers:

  • Overview of the global LNG industry, covering the trends, challenges and economics, as well as providing a geographic analysis as well as a competitive analysis of the industry to 2017
  • Global LNG industry capacity, demand, imports and exports, and trade movements
  • Planned projects during the 2012-2017 period
  • Analysis of the FLNG industry
  • Analysis of major LNG exporters and importers
  • Segmental forecasts of the global LNG market until 2017 in different regions worldwide, highlighting the major countries in the region
