North America will proceed to dominate international LNG liquefaction capability additions by means of 2027.
That’s what GlobalData said in a launch despatched to Rigzone lately, highlighting that the area will contribute round 59 % of the full capability additions between this 12 months and 2027.
In its launch, GlobalData identified that one in every of its current LNG studies revealed that North America “is anticipated to witness the best capability additions globally, by gaining a complete capability of 272.1 million tons each year from new construct and growth tasks through the outlook interval”.

“The U.S. will primarily drive the LNG liquefaction additions in North America by means of 2027, accounting for practically 80 % of the area’s whole capability additions by 2027,” GlobalData Analyst Himani Pant Pandey mentioned within the launch.
“Robust international demand for LNG and the supply of considerable shale fuel are driving the expansion of LNG terminals in North America,” Pandey added.
GlobalData recognized Mexico because the second highest contributor to North America’s LNG liquefaction capability additions within the launch, outlining that the nation accounted for about 12 % of whole LNG liquefaction capability additions in North America through the outlook interval.
“Canada follows Mexico, accounting for about eight % of the full capability additions within the area by 2027,” Pandey famous within the launch.
In a separate launch despatched to Rigzone again in June, GlobalData said that Asia will dominate international LNG regasification capability additions by means of 2027.
The corporate outlined in that launch that the area will contribute about 70 % of the full capability additions between 2023 and 2027.
China will dominate LNG regasification additions in Asia, accounting for practically 34 % of the full capability additions by 2027, GlobalData famous in that launch. The corporate highlighted within the launch that India was the second highest contributor to the Asia LNG regasification capability additions, “accounting for about 22 % of the capability additions by 2027”.
“India and China will primarily drive the LNG regasification additions in Asia by means of 2027, accounting for practically 56 % of the full capability additions by 2027,” GlobalData Oil and Gasoline Analyst Bhargavi Gandham mentioned on this launch.
“Rising fuel demand from each home and industrial sectors and the power transition targets would be the key drivers of regasification capability additions in these international locations,” Gandham added.
“The Philippines ranks third in Asia, contributing about 10 % of the area’s LNG regasification capability additions through the outlook interval,” Gandham continued.
In an announcement posted on Shell’s web site again in February this 12 months, which accompanied the corporate’s newest LNG outlook report, Shell famous that whole international commerce in LNG reached 397 million tons in 2022 and that business forecasts count on LNG demand to achieve 650 to over 700 million tons a 12 months by 2040.
“Extra funding in liquefaction tasks is required to keep away from a supply-demand hole that’s anticipated to emerge by the late 2020s,” Shell mentioned within the assertion.
“Various new applied sciences to scale back emissions from fuel and LNG provide chains will assist to consolidate its position within the power transition,” Shell added.
Within the assertion, Steve Hill, Shell’s Govt Vice President for Power Advertising, famous, “the struggle in Ukraine has had far-reaching impacts on power safety around the globe and brought about structural shifts out there which might be prone to affect the worldwide LNG business over the long run”.
“It has additionally underscored the necessity for a extra strategic method, by means of longer-term contracts, to safe dependable provide to keep away from publicity to cost spikes,” he added.

“LNG provide will increase got here principally from North America (10 Bcm) and APAC (eight Bcm). All different areas made a constructive contribution to LNG provide progress in 2022 (eight Bcm),” EI added within the assertion.
“The rise in international LNG demand was triggered by Europe (62 Bcm) in 2022. Nations within the Asia Pacific area lowered their LNG imports by 24 Bcm and people in South and Central America by 11 Bcm,” EI continued.
