Reflection on the future trading trends of natural gas

Reference no: EM133090962

Task

Natural gas has become a globally traded commodity due to the discovery of conventional and unconventional resources. A characteristic of the natural gas market is the decoupling of the production and the consumer, predominantly due to the trading of natural gas as liquified natural gas (LNG). Considering the international production and trading practices of natural gas and LNG, please provide a discussion of the factors that influence the price of these commodities. Furthermore, comment on the limitations encountered along the supply chain of natural gas and LNG and their consequent effect on the price, and subsequently the present and future trading trends.

Your coursework should include a discussion of the following important points:

1. An introduction to the present state of the global natural gas and LNG market, including the most important suppliers and consumers, and the main ways of trading. In this context, briefly comment on why the LNG market is considered decoupled from the production to the consumer.

2. A statement of the factors, e.g. technology, location, nature of natural gas reserves, politics, that you consider as influencing to prices, and a critical analysis of two or three of them (in the main body of the coursework).

3. A discussion of two or three limitations you consider important in the supply chain of natural gas and LNG and a clear explanation of what their effect is on the price and trading trends (in the main body of the coursework).

4. A conclusion summarizing the key points of your analysis and an informed reflection on the future trading trends of natural gas and LNG.
Additional considerations for your analysis.

1. The coursework requires you to use the relevant module material (ideas, concepts, theories or frameworks) to inform your analysis. Well-established media platforms (e.g. BBC, Financial Times, New York Times, etc.) and other reliable online sources may be used to support your arguments, but the principles underpinning your analysis should preferably be from academic books and/or updated peer reviewed academic journals.
