outlook for the rest of the year amid unive fundamentals. A London-based trader said there remains a strong volume offered for December delivery into Europe, noting around five vessels being marketed to them currently. The source said they have a slot for late December which they are in no hurry to book as they still anticipate more bearish price movements to come. The trader said they were bidding for late December delivery into Northwest Europe at TTF-$0.40/MMBtu to -$0.45/MMBtu. The source said ultimately, the market will be weather driven, but on current fundamentals and Asian prices coming back down, they are expecting bearishness to persist in Europe. “Storage is full across Europe,” the trader said. Market participants are expecting a strong flow of arrivals in coming weeks as cargoes which were floated in order to play the contango back in Q3 begin to arrive into Europe. The Platts December TTF contract fell $0.066/MMBtu on-day to $5.259/MMBtu Tuesday. Another London-based trader said they heard deals concluded recently as low as TTF-$0.60/MMBtu for November delivery. Algerian volumes were heard offered into the Mediterranean for spot delivery at weak prices also, the source reported. Market participants continue to report a lack of over the Northwest European market in the Mediterranean. “The market is too long for it (Med) to be a ,” a third London-based trader said. In shipping, Shinshu Maru is slated to load from Arzew on November 4, according to shiptracker and will lift a JERA FOB cargo, according to two sources. The vessel diverted from Brazil four days ago. Arctic Aurora was heard fixed by Shell. Hire rate heard was

London—European LNG regasification rose back above the 300 million cu m/d mark for the first time in over five months during Monday’s gas day and looks set to potentially rise further in the short-term, data from S&P Global Platts Analytics and National Grid showed. LNG regas in Europe (Belgium, , Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain and the UK) hit 303 million cu m during Monday’s gas day, the highest daily amount since May 23, the data showed. Regas jumped during Monday’s gas day amid higher demand across the region due to temperatures across Northwest Europe falling below average for that time of year, boosting LDZ demand, climbing from the October 1-27 average of 227 million cu m/d. Indeed, regas levels in Spain and Italy were largely unchanged from the end of the previous working week at 55 million cu m and 33 million cu m, respectively, with warmer conditions seen across the southern

BP reported $2.6 billion a non-cash impairment charge during the third quarter after selling off US legacy shale gas assets for less than it had on its books. BP agreed the sale of its Alaskan business to Hilcorp for $5.6 billion in August and said it planned to divest four packages of legacy US shale gas assets. Gilvary said the asset sales were prompted by BP’s outlook on US gas prices “Strategically we were looking to get out of these assets and we’ve chosen to proceed.” Gilvary said further US gas asset sales will continue in the fourth quarter with the potential for further impairment charges from the sales. — Robert Perkins

part of Europe. LNG regas so far in October across Europe stood at a total of 6.43 Bcm, already higher than the 5.699 Bcm seen during October 2018, and looks set to increase further once the November delivery period kicks in. Data from Platts Analytics showed that no fewer than 33 LNG cargoes were potentially due to arrive at European LNG liquefaction terminals before the middle of November, and with LNG stocks in tank nudging 4 Bcm of natural gas equivalent at the beginning of Week 44, regas looks set to have to increase in order to make room for the fresh arrivals. — Gary Hornby

development, tank construction can occur simultaneously

Arlington— Privately held Commonwealth LNG sees its late entrance in a crowded field of US LNG developers as an advantage, with officials saying they can apply lessons learned from the first wave of LNG export projects toward a low-cost approach that will put it ahead of its rivals. But the LNG facility that the company’s export venture in Louisiana most resembles is not among the projects concentrated on the US Gulf Coast — it’s the Yamal LNG plant in Siberia.

LNG exports to suffer from price slump already “full” with LNG imports

■■Europe

London—The global LNG supply glut will likely continue to weigh on prices and US export flows until 2022 when market for LNG will start to rebalance, BP chief financial official Brian Gilvary said Tuesday. Spot gas prices in Asia and Europe have nosedived in 2019 amid a wave of new LNG plants coming onstream and subdued gas demand growth in Asia. In Europe, gas storage sites have been filling to capacity at the time as coal-to-gas switching fuel switch has maximized. “The UK is full on LNG right now. Europe is full on LNG imports. We do not anticipant that all of the gas that was planned to be exported from the US will be able to hit a demand market any time soon,” Gilvary said on a quarterly earnings call. “You are looking at the back end of 2021 to see this massive supply overhang clear out...gas feels pretty bearish right now. You will see some exports out of the US but not anywhere near the capacity that has been built.” With US spot Henry Hub gas prices currently trading around $2.2/ MMBtu, Gilvary said the economics of much US LNG moving to Europe were not workable. “Although there is no question that US gas is still the lowest cost production in the world, it us going to hard for it find a market in the next two years probably,” Gilvary said.

As PAO Novatek did in developing Yamal in Russia, Commonwealth LNG plans for offsite construction of its facility’s six natural gas liquefaction trains and other major components, the company’s controller, Nick Eusepi, said in an interview. The benefit of this modular approach would be a lower cost and faster turnaround time on construction, he said. “We are basically mirroring the Yamal project,” Eusepi said. “The market is tough; the customers and off-takers have fatigue from all the projects, and they are somewhat on the sideline just waiting things out. We think our low-cost, flexible approach does put us ahead of the line, though.” It was only in August that Commonwealth LNG submitted its formal application for a federal permit to build the 8.4 million metric ton/year LNG export terminal and an d feedgas pipeline interconnect in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The project is competing against some others that already have permits and deals lined up with potential offtakers. But Commonwealth LNG said the amount of time to build its project — around three years as opposed to the usual four — puts it on track to come online in early 2024, when a potential global LNG supply crunch is anticipated. Commonwealth LNG recently received a notice of environmental

review from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that suggested the agency could be ready to make a decision on whether to approve the project by the end of 2020. The company is now targeting a final investment decision in early 2021 (19-502). “We are coming in later, but we are not finishing much later than everyone else,” Eusepi said. “We still fall right in the middle of that second wave demand cycle. A little late to the game, but not really late to the game.” The construction approach would use modular LNG facilities developed by TechnipFMC, a designer and builder of LNG projects that worked on Yamal LNG. TechnipFMC signed an engineering service contract with Commonwealth LNG in 2018. Commonwealth LNG has not finalized an engineering, procurement and construction contract. Commonwealth LNG is a subsidiary of an investment vehicle owned by businessman Paul Varello, a veteran of the engineering and construction sector. In a significant difference from other US LNG projects, Commonwealth LNG’s plans call for even the LNG storage tanks to be built away from the project site. This will allow the developer to build the tanks and do site preparation at the same time, which would be an important innovation in handling a key timeline constraint for LNG projects, said energy

analyst Katie Bays, co-founder of research and consulting firm Sandhill Strategy. This could lend predictability in cost and schedule to the project’s competitiveness in the race for a final investment decision. “There is a path for them being able to do that,” Bays said. “The big issues are not their model or regulation — it’s financing and the commercial environment. It’s roughly the same hurdle for them as it is for every other company that is nothing more than an idea ... Capital is just anemic. And that is a huge risk for basically every project that doesn’t have a balance sheet and a huge advantage for all of the projects that do.” Adding to the uncertainty for the LNG sector is the trade war between the US and China, which is expected to be the world’s biggest importer of LNG within a decade. As it stands, Commonwealth LNG could take a final investment decision on the $4.8 billion project if it contracts about 7 million mt/y of the offtake, Eusepi said. The company in June announced the g of a nonbinding agreement with a subsidiary of global commodity trader Gunvor Group that could lead to a 15-year sale-andpurchase agreement for 1.5 million mt/y of LNG. The deal is Commonwealth LNG’s only public commercial commitment. Bays said the shorter duration of the contracts Commonwealth LNG is marketing, compared with the typical 20-year deals, is another factor that distinguishes the project in the field of independent LNG developers. The low cost of the project enables Commonwealth LNG to offer these shorter-term deals, Eusepi said. Other of the Gunvor deal, including the price structure or links to gas indexes, were not disclosed. But as the company pursues additional deals, it is not committed to any single pricing structure or index, Eusepi said. “We’ve got a little bit signed up so far, but by no means all that we need to to get the project to go,” Eusepi said. “But we are confident that we are going to get there, and hopefully, by the end of the year, we have got some more announcements coming out.” — Corey Paul, S&P Global Market Intelligence

Power of Siberia gas pipeline primed to begin Chinese exports ■■Russia’s

Gazprom ‘has completed filling’ the pipeline link with China ‘the next stage’ ■■Development forms part of 38 Bcm/year supply deal ■■Cross-border

London—Gazprom has completed filling the Power of Siberia pipeline within its Russian borders, the state-owned company said Tuesday, and will soon be pressurizing the cross-border link with China ahead of the first exports to the country. Natural gas from the Chayandinskoye field in Yakutia was used to pressurize the pipeline, with gas stocked up to the border metering station in the Blagoveshchensk region of Russia, with the next stage of commissioning to entail filling the cross-border link with China running through the Amur river. “The linear part of the pipeline is prepared for the start of pipeline deliveries of Russian gas to China,” Gazprom said in a statement.

Upon completion of commissioning activities, the production and transport will form part of a 30-year purchase and sale agreement for Russian gas via the Power of Siberia agreed in May 2014. This agreement makes provisions for 38 Bcm/year of exports from Russia to China to be achieved. The Power of Siberia will transport natural gas from the Irkutsk and Yatkutia production areas for delivery to Russian customers in the Far East and China. Gazprom confirmed that commissioning is underway for the development of the Chayandinskoye field, and that drilling “is in full swing” at the Kovykta field in the Irkutsk region, expected to export through the Power of Siberia in early-2023. The project is expected to lessen Russia’s dependence on Europe as its primary export market, and generate a new revenue stream for the state-owned company. — Neil Hunter

Spain increases December LNG intake 13% to 3.2 million cu m ■■Storage

levels in Nov approach 100% volume drops 14% from nomination ■■Dec pipeline nominations greater than LNG ■■Nov

Barcelona—Spain has nominated 22 deliveries of LNG for December, an increase of 13% year on year to 3.2 million cu m of liquid, data published Monday by gas grid operator Enagas showed. The increase is offset by a similar-sized decline in scheduled deliveries in November, with high gas storage levels. For November, Spain has canceled five nominated deliveries — one apiece at the terminals of Barcelona, Cartagena, Huelva, Bilbao and Mugardos — with incoming volume trimmed by 14% to 2.9 million cu m. Underground stocks of stored gas are scheduled to rise to 33.1 TWh at the end of November from 31.5 TWh at the start of the month, or to 99.7% full from 95%. Stored LNG levels will average 19.8 TWh during November, or 85% full. For December, gas in long-term storage is nominated to fall to 31.7 TWh at the end of the month from 33.0 TWh at the start, on increased demand for heating. Stored LNG is seen lower than November, averaging 18.2 TWh or 78% full. In November, LNG is scheduled to supply 21.4 TWh into the grid, up 1.1 TWh from last month’s initial nomination. Pipeline gas volume is scheduled at a net 18.8 TWh, with 14.5 TWh coming from Algeria and 4.8 TWh from Europe. Exports to Portugal are scheduled at 414 GWh. The total is an increase from nominated volume of 16.9 TWh, with the increase met largely by higher imports from Northwest Europe via . Spanish gas demand in November has been revised 0.6 TWh higher to 39.8 TWh. Storage injections will absorb 1.6 TWh of the incoming gas, and truck loading 1.2 TWh. For December, initial nominations are for 18.7 TWh of LNG sendout

PV Gas starts constructing Vietnam’s first LNG terminal, secures funding Hanoi—State-controlled PetroVietnam Gas began construction of the Thi Vai LNG terminal, and also signed financing deals for the first phase of the project to import natural gas into Vietnam, it said on Monday. The Thi Vai terminal will have a capacity of 1 million mt/year in its first phase, and is scheduled to start operations in 2022. Its capacity will be raised to 3 million mt/year by 2023 in the second phase of development. The project will cost $285 million for the first phase with 30% of investment capital being financed by PV Gas and the remaining 70% from loans, PV Gas said, adding that Thi Vai will be the first LNG terminal in Vietnam. “It is a strategic project because it represents an important of step of Vietnam in ensuring national energy security. The supply of LNG will help meet the rising demand of LNG in the domestic market,” according to the statement. On Monday, PV Gas signed deals to borrow $80 million from HSBC and two Taiwanese banks — Mega Bank and Taipei Fubon Bank. The Vietnamese gas distribution company also entered into agreements to borrow Vietnamese Dong 2.1 trillion ($81.2 million) from two Vietnamese banks - Southeast Asia Commercial t Stock Bank and Vietnam Export Import Bank. PV Gas did not elaborate on details of the contribution from each bank and where the remaining funds will come from. PV Gas awarded an engineering, procurement and construction contract to build the Thi Vai terminal to South Korea’s Samsung C&T Corp and PetroVietnam Technical Services Corp on June 24. On the same date, it signed an agreement to supply LNG from Thi Vai

to PetroVietnam Power’s proposed Nhon Trach 3 and Nhon Trach 4 power plants in southern Dong Nai province with a capacity of 600 MW each. In 2014, PV Gas signed two framework LNG sale and purchase agreements with Russia’s Gazprom Marketing & Trading and Shell for deliveries into Thi Vai LNG terminal. This was followed by two preliminary LNG supply agreements with Virginia-based AES Group and Alaska Gasline Development Corp in November 2017. — Eric Yep, Newsdesk-Vietnam

Mitsui eyes added LNG offtake, equity stake in North American LNG ■■Up

to 1 million mt/year from Baja California project Mitsui in MOU to extend LNG partnership

■■Sempra,

Washington—The US’ Sempra Energy and Japan’s Mitsui have extended their partnership in North American LNG export development, announcing a non-binding memorandum of understanding Monday for Mitsui to participate in a second phase of the Cameron LNG project in Louisiana and a possible future expansion of the Energia Costa Azul project in Baja California, Mexico. The MOU contemplates Mitsui buying up to one-third of available capacity from the Cameron LNG Phase 2 expansion, as well as Mitsui’s potential offtake of about 1 million mt/year of LNG and a possible equity stake in a future phase expansion of the western Mexico project, the companies said in a statement. The two companies already are partners in the first, roughly 12 million mt/year phase of Cameron LNG. That Sempra-led project is a t venture of San Diego-based Sempra, ’s Total and Mitsui — a company tly owned by Japan’s Mitsubishi and NYK. The first train at Cameron LNG in Hackberry, Louisiana, began commercial operation in August, with the second and third trains expected to start production the first and second quarters of 2020. Phase 2 entails two more trains and up to two storage tanks, and has already been approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Advancing heads of agreement As to ECA LNG, Sempra IEnova previously signed a heads of agreement in November 2018 with Total, Mitsui and Tokyo Gas for

the full export capacity of Phase I, which is expected to produce 2.4 million my/year of LNG upon entering service in 2023. Mitsui is negotiating to finalize a sales-and-purchase agreement of 800,000 mt/ year from that phase. But a final investment decision on the project has been delayed until the first quarter of 2020, IEnova said October 24, as it continued to iron out details of the project’s engineering, procurement and construction bidding process, its offtake contracting as well as regulatory permitting. The future ECA expansion would add more trains and envisions export capacity of about 12 million mt/year.

Feedgas questions Supplying feedgas to the proposed Costa Azul LNG export facility is likely one of the key obstacles to a positive FID. While the existing import facility is currently interconnected to existing pipelines, those pipelines often run full due to demand in the Southern California

markets, according to S&P Global Platts Analytics. Therefore, any LNG project will need to either secure firm pipeline capacity from existing capacity holders or assess the possibility of further midstream expansions. In unveiling the MOU, Sempra LNG President Justin Bird said the preliminary agreement “signals continued momentum in the growing US LNG export market, while reinforcing the unique competitive advantage Sempra offers customers seeking LNG export capabilities from the Gulf Coast, as well as the West Coast of North America.” Motoyasu Nozaki, managing director of Mitsui’s Energy Business Unit II, said, “The agreement will contribute to expanding Mitsui’s uniquely diversified supply portfolio worldwide.” Beyond those two projects, Sempra has proposed to build an LNG export facility in Port Arthur, Texas. It has received FERC approval and reached a preliminary deal with Saudi Aramco in May that calls for the state-run oil company to take a 25% stake in the project. — Maya Weber, Ross Wyeno

SUBSCRIBER NOTES Platts proposes to change LNG freight fuel assumptions S&P Global Platts is proposing to change the fuel assumptions used in its LNG freight route costs, effective January 2, 2020.

number of days * Platts Asia Pacific Ballast Rate (AAXTN00) + loading and discharge days) / number of round-trip days

This proposal comes on the back of market highlighting recent changes in fuel usage on LNG carriers, in part due to the incoming IMO 2020 rules, but linked also to more competitive LNG prices as well.

Platts Atlantic Day Rate (AASYC00) * (laden leg number of days + ballast leg number of days * Platts Atlantic Ballast Rate (AAXTM00) + loading days and discharge days + Canal-transit days) / number of round-trip days

Platts is proposing to change the assumption on fuel-consumption to boil-off gas-only. In other words LNG freight calculations will no longer reference fueloil. Given the existing assumption of 100mt/day at 17 knots, this means 5,200 MMBtu/day of fuel requirement met entirely by boil-off gas. The LNG price assessment used as the basis of the fuel cost assumption would be Platts JKM (AAOVQ00).

And for the USGC – NWE TCR: Platts Atlantic Day Rate (AASYC00) * (laden leg number of days + ballast leg number of days * Platts Atlantic Ballast Rate (AAXTM00) + loading days and discharge days) / number of round-trip days.

This proposal would not alter the other assumptions used to underpin its LNG freight route costs. The other assumptions would remain: modern conventional TFDE vessel, with a vessel capacity of 155,000-180,000 cu m, standardized to 165,000 cu m; boil-off: 0.12%/day while laden and 0.09% while ballasting.

Platts to launch Time Charter Rates for major LNG shipping routes S&P Global Platts will launch three Time Charter Rates (TCR) for key LNG shipping routes from November 1, 2019. On the back of from market participants, Platts will begin publishing TCR price assessments for Australia (Dampier) – Japan (Futtsu), US Gulf Coast (Sabine ) – Japan (Futtsu) and US Gulf Coast (Sabine ) – Northwest Europe (Zeebrugge). These will reflect round-trip economics for key shipping routes in the global LNG shipping market. The LNG TCR price assessments will be published under the following names and symbols: LNG Time Charter Rate Australia-Japan $/day (ATCRA00) LNG Time Charter Rate USG-Japan $/day (ATCRC00) LNG Time Charter Rate USG-Northwest Europe $/day (ATCRB00) The basis of the calculation will be as follows for the:Australia – Japan TCR: Platts Asia Pacific Day Rate (AARXT00) * (laden leg number of days + ballast leg

Similarly, the basis of the calculation will be as follows for the USGC – Japan TCR:

The number of round trip days will be 21 for the Australia – Japan route (nine days each way, three days for loading and discharge); 51 days (23 days each way, three days for loading and discharge, two days for Panama Canal transit) for the USGC – Japan route and 27 days for the USGC – NWE route. Platts will also publish back-calculated data history for these TCRs going back to September 3, 2018, when Platts first started assessing its Asia Pacific and Atlantic Ballast Rates.

S&P Global Platts to launch yuan conversions of JKM LNG assessment S&P Global Platts will launch daily Chinese yuan per metric ton (yuan/mt) and yuan per MMBtu (yuan/MMBtu) conversions of the Platts JKM LNG assessment, effective December 16, 2019. The JKM assessment (AAOVQ00), which represents the average of the two half-month cycles, which comprise the first full month of delivery, will be converted into yuan/mt and yuan/MMBtu from $/MMBtu. The conversions will be calculated on a daily basis using a currency exchange rate (AAWFW00) published daily on working days in Singapore, with a factor of 52 for the MMBtu to metric ton conversion.

Platts may also consider for publication in its Atlantic assessment process, which concludes at 4:30 pm London time FOB USGC bids, offers and expressions of interest to trade, which may also be considered later in the GCM assessment process which concludes at 1:30 pm Houston time.

These would be published as currency conversions of the US dollardenominated assessments of Platts Northwest Europe (NWE) and Platts Mediterranean (Med) Markers. These values would be launched on January 16, 2020.

Full specifications for the GCM can be found here: https://www.spglobal.com/ platts/plattscontent/assets/files/en/ourmethodology/methodologyspecifications/lngmethodology.pdf

These prices would be published each business day and would be quoted in Eur/ MMBtu and Eur/MWh to three decimal places.

STANDARD : These will also apply to any bids, offers or expressions of interest to trade reported in the Platts Market on Close assessment process that underpins GCM. Unless otherwise stated by the counterparty at the time of providing data for publication, the bids and offers provided for publication in the MOC should reflect these following standards, which Platts understands to be broadly typical in the spot market for cargoes loaded in the US Gulf Coast. Platts may publish bids, offers and trades for LNG cargoes that carry different and conditions, but may normalize these when considered in final, published assessments. Market participants should clearly state in submitted bids or offers that differ from these standards.

Platts invites all questions and to [email protected] and [email protected].

DELIVERY WINDOW: The loading period reflected in bids, offers and trades should typically be three to five days long, with the seller to narrow to a one-day loading window 30 days before the first day of the traded delivery window. LOADING LOCATION: Bids, offers and trades should typically reflect loading in US Gulf Coast ports. Offers must be expressed with a specific base load port. The base load port chosen sets the conditions for any potential counterparty considering trading. Sellers will retain the option to substitute loading port in the US Gulf Coast up to a reasonable period before the first day of the traded loading window, subject to ship shore compatibility study (SSCS). Substitution of delivery locations to ports outside of the US Gulf Coast may be subject to normalization, and the option would need to be stated in the bid or offer. QUALITY: Market participants should clearly state GHV specifications in bids and offers submitted for publication. GCM will reflect cargoes with a GHV of 1,010-1,050 Btu/Scf. Platts may normalize for quality specifications with different ranges. QUANTITY: GCM will reflect a cargo quantity of 3.5 TBtu. This volume will be subject to +/-2% operational tolerance, at the seller’s option. Platts will continue to consider different cargo volumes, but may normalize where appropriate back to 3.5TBtu +/-2% operational tolerance. LNG VESSEL: Buyers will nominate an LNG ship 30 days prior to the first day of the traded delivery window, or at the time of trade confirmation for more prompt delivery windows. For cargoes for delivery at or less than 30 days from the date of assessment, buyers should state the LNG vessel explicitly in the bid. Buyers may substitute delivery vessel up to 15 days prior to the first day of the traded delivery window, subject to SSCS. Platts expects parties to be reasonable when exceptional circumstances require buyers to substitute vessels or sellers to substitute terminals beyond typical standards stated in Platts guidelines. Companies must promptly communicate to their counterparties when such a substitution is required. And buyers or

For written comments, please provide a clear indication if comments are not intended for publication by Platts for public viewing. Platts will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked as confidential available upon request Platts to launch seasonal and calendar year JKM derivative assessments S&P Global Platts will launch new seasonal and additional calendar year JKM LNG derivative assessments for two regional timestamps, effective December 16, 2019. One set of the assessments will reflect a timestamp of 4:30 pm Singapore time and the other a timestamp of 4:30 pm London time. The new seasonal assessments will reflect the two seasons beyond the active forward season, or forward-season +2 and forward-season +3, for summer or winter deliveries. Seasons will be defined as follows: Summer = April to September, and Winter = October to March. The two additional calendar year assessments will reflect the two calendar years beyond the active forward calendar year that Platts currently publishes. The seasonal and calendar year JKM LNG derivative assessments will be published each business day and reflect derivatives that settle on the physical JKM assessment. All prices will be published in dollars per million British thermal unit ($/MMBtu) to three decimal places. Platts will consider bids, offers and trade information for a minimum of five lots (one lot is equivalent to 10,000 MMBtu) for these assessments, matching the minimum lot size considered in its other JKM derivatives assessments. The seasonal assessment rolls over on the first working day of the new season for the Pricing Month derivative JKM. For example, on March 16, 2020, Platts will assess the Winter 20 and Summer 21 prices. On September 16, Platts will assess the Summer 21 and Winter 21 prices. The Calendar Year assessments rolls over on the first business day of the year. For example, the Cal 2020, 2021 and 2022 JKM derivative assessments roll into Cal 2021, 2022 and 2023 on January 2, 2019. Platts send all questions and to [email protected] and [email protected].
