La spotification du marché du gaz naturel liquéfié: origine et implications
Authors
January 13, 2016

En raison de la distance géographique existante entre les zones principales de consommation et de production et de l’existence consécutive de coûts logistiques importants, le marché du gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) s’est historiquement structuré autour de contrats d’approvisionnement de long terme indexés sur les prix pétroliers. Avec le développement récent des gaz de schiste et une croissance européenne atone, l’excès d’offre de GNL favorise désormais le développement des marchés spot, notamment en Asie, par nature plus flexibles et déconnectés des prix pétroliers. Dans cette optique, il n’est pas impossible que la filière du GNL se financiarise à plus ou moins long terme.

    For science fiction writers, the universe has no limits. They imagine spacecraft conquering the unknown, the mining of asteroids, access to solar power and room for colonization by earthlings tempted by new frontiers billions of miles and dreams away.
