CEDIGAZ’s Monthly LNG Trade Bulletin of March 2015

Asian LNG prices decrease start to show

LNG average import PricesIn January 2015, LNG imports in Japan, South Korea and China grew by 0.8% compared to December 2014. Imports reached 14.7 million tons which is though 3.9% lower than January 2014 levels. January showed the first impacts of decreasing oil prices on LNG prices, as oil-linked contracts usually include a six-month lag. In Japan, the average import price decreased to its lowest point since September 2013 at $15.15/mmbtu in January, while it averaged $16.14/mmbtu in 2014. South Korean price dropped sharply, from $16.07/mmbtu in December (and $16.31/mmbtu on average in 2014) to $14.27/mmbtu in January.

International Gas Prices – March 5 , 2015

NBP: Under temporary pressure

NBP and CoalThe NBP price averaged €23.4/MWh ($7.8/MBtu) in February, up nearly 14% compared to January. Two factors exerted upward pressure. First, taking the NBP to €25.7/MWh on Feb. 12, was the Dutch debate over Groningen and its level of production (66% of the country’s total) for 2015 and 2016. The latter was cut to 39.4 bcm from the initial target of 42.5 bcm, like in 2014. Proposals of 35 and 30 bcm were also heard. It was agreed to set the level at 16.5 bcm for first half 2015. Secondly, the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in late February, with threats of cutting off gas deliveries, also gave cause for concern. The fact that a trilateral meeting took place and a prepayment was made in early March, even if it was small ($15 M for about 50bcm), slightly alleviated market pressure. In early March, the pressure lifted slightly and prices fell to €22.9 /MWh ($7.5/MBtu), 2% lower than in January. The market anticipated an average summer price of €21.6/MWh ($7/MBtu).
