Q&AOctávio M. C. SimõesPresident

Sempra LNG

How is the requirement of buyers to seek out shorter term contracts affecting project financing?Given the size of the capital requirements to launch a liquefaction project, short-term contracts do not support the development of new supply. The size of the commitment can be mitigated by establishing contracts for the infrastructure only, such as in the US projects, but not the commodity, what we typically designate as the cost-plus model. This allows new supply to be developed on a timely basis and avoid the “Buyer’s market – Seller’s market” cycles.

How effectively are gas and LNG competing for their rightful place alongside coal and renewables?The simple answer is that in my opinion gas is not competing effectively. The flexibility of gas generation to support the renewables development and the environmental advantages of gas versus coal and oil are not being deployed successfully. Part of the problem has to do with the recent high prices of LNG as the linkage to oil caused the cost to skyrocket when went up in price. Another element of the failure has to do with a lack of industry advocacy and coordination to assign real carbon costs to the fossil fuels being considered.

What are Sempra’s main reasons for sponsoring the World LNG Summit this year?We regard the World LNG Summit as the premier annual gathering of the industry participants. It provides us with an opportunity to get together with everyone at the end of each year and make an assessment of where we are and the challenges ahead. And we have been supporting the event in different ways for more than a decade. As Sempra continues to expand its footprint in the LNG industry, we remain committed to advance the industry and contribute to maintain the high levels of performance, safety and reliability that this industry has demonstrated in the past.

Q&APatrick Janssens Vice President, Global Gas Solutions

ABS

Regarding FSRUs, how much potential is out there in terms of unlocking new demand and where will this demand come from?LNG supply is growing fast. Australian projects are coming onstream, and the US Gulf of Mexico – which has the ambition of becoming one of the main LNG exporters worldwide – exported its first LNG earlier in 2016. Many of the traditional LNG offtake markets (such as Japan, Korea, Europe) show little growth potential in the immediate term, but other growing economies, which by virtue of their growth see a quick rise in energy needs, could employ FSRUs, a solution that is demonstrating it can provide a fast and cost-effective solution to serve these markets. Hardly a week goes by without a new FSRU opportunity being announced.

Will FSRUs continue to be cost-effective enablers to open new markets?FSRUs offer multiple advantages. The units can be fairly standardised and built in specialised shipyards which offers clear cost benefits. FSRUs generally are offered to the market on leasing terms allowing projects to be developed with very limited cash up front for LNG importers. Several FSRU projects have demonstrated they can offer access to new market very quickly; in many cases, new LNG import facilities have become operational in less than 12 months, and some have reached that point in even less than six months. FSRUs can provide significant flexibility, serving growing markets and seasonal markets and can even be deployed as a temporary solution while permanent land-based facilities are being constructed. Major oil companies now also see FSRUs as market openers for LNG. When large LNG exporters fully support this business line along with the shipping and FSRU community, the sector will be strengthened significantly.

How do you see the shipping industry evolving and innovating in this new era of oversupply?Currently, there is an oversupply of LNG ships, but there also is huge potential for new LNG coming onto the market in the medium term. At present ship owners are looking at alternative markets for both unfixed old and new tonnage. Recently, one of the most modern LNG carriers with the newest slow speed dual fuel engines was fixed for a long-term contract as an FSU. Many owners are looking at opportunities for converting vessels to FSUs or FSRUs. In the longer run, this also helps unlocking the new LNG markets.

Q&AJason FeerHead of Business Intelligence

Poten & Partners

How do you see small-scale LNG developing as a means to unlock new demand in emerging markets?Small-scale LNG has the potential to be a significant source of new demand in coming years. Applications such as bunkering, motor fuels and small scale generation all have the potential to increase demand for LNG. That said, it will take some time before these new applications combine to boost overall demand substantially.

How competitive is LNG in the fuel mix and will we see an increase in the use of LNG to Power in the coming years?At current prices, LNG is highly competitive. Not only does it displace coal fired capacity in some markets, such as Europe, but it also is attractive to markets considering small-scale projects and FSRUs. However, in the longer run, LNG prices are likely to rise as the current surplus is absorbed so there is a risk that LNG will become less competitive over time.

What role do you see gas having in the next 5-10 years and what will be the relationship between gas and renewables?Gas should have significant role in the global energy mix in coming years. As both liquefaction capacity and regas capacity grow, LNG will find new markets. LNG and natural gas also have a role to play in reducing carbon emissions, particularly in markets where gas can displace coal in generation.

With regard to renewables, gas both complements and competes with renewables. Once renewable capacity is built, it tends to run whenever the conditions are right, and that can displace natural gas generation.
