Putting global LNG in perspective
Private & Confidential 4
• Global Natural Gas Demand: ~122 Tcf or 335 Bcf/d (2015)
• Lower-48 US Natural Gas Demand: ~27.1 Tcf or 74Bcf/d (2016)
• Global LNG Demand: ~11.7 Tcf or 32 Bcf/d (2015)
• Roughly 70% of all gas is consumed in the country it is produced.
• Since 2000, LNG demand has grown about 6.6% a year, compared to
2.8% for natural gas.
• About 114 countries use natural gas as a fuel source, while only 37
nations import LNG.

Natural Gas
40% of the growth in global energy demand from 2014-2040 is projected to
be met by natural gas.
LNG
IEA report forecasts liquefaction capacity to grow 45% between 2015-2021.
China, India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi
Arabia, Iran, Thailand & Indonesia will account for roughly 80% of the new
growth in energy demand through 2040.

Liquefy Gas Offtake LNG to destination
LNG buyer pays:
1. Liquefaction/usage fee: Paid regardless of whether the customer uses the facility. Covers the project company’s
facilities and fixed costs.
2. Gas fee: Payable based on amount of gas liquefied.

Cove Point Example – Cove Point produces LNG but does not take title or market LNG

Risks Rewards
Source, secure, nominate & scheduling gas into pipeline & LNG plant
Long-term control of gas supply needs (up to 45 years)
Contract sufficient pipeline capacity at liquid market points to the LNG plant, ensuring competitive gas supply.
Not competing with the plant owner in marketing LNG
Manage a new business model with value-chain segments upstream of liquefaction to control
Vertical integration beyond DES and FOB, back to wellhead
Gas supply interruptions (freeze-offs or hurricanes) HH – supply gas arbitrage opportunities
Supply Chain Responsibility: Offtaker’s obligation in red. Terminal operators obligation in green.
