  JCC-indexed LNG contracts could lose US$15 billion value post IMO 2020

  • 21 11月 2019

  Wood Mackenzie’s latest report reveals that LNG sellers with contracts linked to JCC (Japan Crude Cocktail) could lose some US$15 billion in unearned revenues. This is a result of the IMO 2020 regulation limiting sulphur content of marine fuels to up to 0.5%, which directly affects the price of sour crudes such as those composing the JCC mix. The IMO 2020 kicks in on 1st January 2020.

  Oil price rout: which supply is most at risk of shut-in?

  • 27 3月 2020

  The coronavirus pandemic is reducing oil demand. The OPEC+ production restraint agreement fell apart on 6 March and Saudi Arabia is rapidly increasing supply. The result: Brent crude has plunged to less than US$30/bbl. This will have a significant impact on currently producing fields and future supply. How low can the price go before different sources of production become uneconomic? Where are production shut-ins most likely? Can governments influence the result?

  Collapsing demand sets the terms in the OPEC+ battle for market share

  • 09 4月 2020

  Since OPEC+’s failure to agree on production restraint on 5-6 March, the implications of the Covid-19 pandemic have become far clearer, sparking a crisis in the oil market as prices fell and supply ramped up. The problem for these producers is the scale of the fall in oil demand, especially during April and forecast for Q2 2020. No matter the size of the varying forecasts, they all point to a challenging market that puts pressure on storage space and prices.

  Europe emerges as global LNG price-setter

  • 27 5月 2021

  Global liquefied natural gas (LNG) markets were set to tighten over the next five years, driven by a slowdown in global LNG supply growth. But Europe’s market dynamics are turbo-charging the price recovery, with TTF currently trading close to US$9 per million British thermal units (/mmbtu), a level not seen since mid-2018. Following the recent winter spot price spike in Asia, the European market has been sustaining global LNG prices, making the region a battleground for global LNG price formation, new research from global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie found.
