　　报告内容简介：

　　LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) has experienced a “golden age” thanks to a growing global demand for gas. Its success has been especially due to its availability as the only type of gas to its largest consumers, e.g., Japan and South Korea, accounting for about half of the global demand for LNG. The Asia-Pacific region, in particular, has accounted for the bulk of this demand (around 70%).The ongoing shift in this region’s pattern of energy consumption and the increasing availability of piped gas will likely end LNG’s “golden age”, added to a declining consumption trend in some other regions. Despite predictable fluctuations in LNG demand, the resulting trend of lowering demand as production capacity is increasing will ensure abundance of supplies and keep LNG prices relatively low in the foreseeable future.
