Executive Summary
An increasing number of countries across the globe are turning towards LNG transportation of natural gas to meet their energy security needs. Global natural gas reserves are abundant but are located in countries far from the consuming markets. About 50% of the world' proven reserves are located in Middle East and Africa regions, which are far from the major consuming Asia Pacific, European and North American markets. Transportation through pipelines becomes infeasible over long distances (more than 3,000 Km) and hence transportation of natural gas in the form of LNG is increasing significantly across the globe.
The number of countries participating in the world LNG trade increased from 21 in 2000 to 32 in 2008. This number is further expected to reach 52 by 2015. The global LNG export capacity stood at 212.85 mtpa in 2008 while the LNG import capacity was 648.0 Bcm in the same year. While the global LNG Export capacity increased at a CAGR of 7.23%, the LNG import capacity increased at CAGR of 7.9% between 2000 and 2008. Between 2008 and 2015, LNG Export capacity is expected to increase at 11.15%, while the LNG import capacity will increase at 11.39%.

Qatar Petroleum is the leading LNG exporter in the world and the company is expected to retain its position as the leading exporter of LNG till 2015. The government owned company with 00% market share in world LNG export industry, owns 5 terminals in Qatar.
This is followed by Petronas, Sonatrach, PT Pertamina and Royal Dutch Shell Plc in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th positions respectively. These companies together own equity in 20LNG export terminals. In 2008, the companies owned a market share of 56%, exhibiting the fragmented nature of the industry.
Accordingly, the share of the country in Asia Pacific's LNG export capacity will shoot up from the current 23.5% to 36.5% by 2015. The total number of liquefaction trains will also increase from the current 6 to 13 by 2015. The total storage capacity will also increase from the current 0.45 Bcm in 5 storage tanks to 1.54 in 12 storage tank
NWS LNG terminal is the oldest and largest LNG export terminal in Australia. The terminal contributes about 19% to Asia Pacific's LNG export capacity. The terminal's LNG production facilities consist of five trains, with a combined capacity of 16.3 mtpa. LNG is stored in one of the four heavily insulated storage tanks, with a total capacity of 0.26 MMcm and then piped into a jetty for loading into LNG carriers for transportation. The technical expertise of the owners of the terminal is a major advantage for the safe and efficient maintenance of the plant. Woodside Energy Ltd with 16.7% equity stake is the operator of the terminal. The remaining equity in NWS LNG terminal is shared by BHP Billiton, BP Plc, Chevron Corporation and Japan Australia LNG. Each of these companies own a stake of 16.7%.
The terminal underwent major capacity expansions in 2004 and 2008, where the capacity was upgraded from 7.5 mtpa in 2000 to 11.7 in 2004 and then to the current 16.3 mtpa in 2008. No further expansion plans are announced yet. The LNG export terminal processes the natural gas from the Greater North West Shelf Area, with total proven reserves of 100 Tcf. Liquefied natural gas from the terminal is transported to international markets through 11 specially designed LNG carriers with a total capacity of 1,452,628 Cubic Meters.
