Australia LNG Sector - Seeking Growth

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Australia's LNG sector is in high growth mode for the moment, with 17+ LNG projects at various stages of development. We're endowed with favourable geology and proximity to the largest market for natural gas, and the growth trajectory is solid. We have launched projects on both coasts. However, we have a cost and productivity problem that unaddressed means no further expansion. The presentation sets out the big strategic variables to watch (supply, demand, pricing, contracting, sovereign risk, etc) and shares where there will likely be services demand. It's all about cost productivity and social license.
